The Boss 50th Anniversary Blues Driver is a release in commemoration of a milestone year of Boss history. Joining the DS-1 Distortion and SD-1 Super Overdrive in receiving the 50th anniversary treatment package, the long-favored BD-2 Blues Driver comes to the party, dressed with flash in an exclusive metallic finish.
The BD-2 was first introduced in 1995 and was one of the first compact pedals built to produce an organic tube-like overdrive response - as opposed to a harder clipping distortion or fuzz circuit. The tone of the BD-2 circuit has a type of body and detail that can serve as the benchmark of a player's overdrive tone when running into a clean amp and has enough clean headroom on tap to serve as a boost/overdrive.
The BD-2 Blues Driver is a staple pedal for rock, pop, and country guitar players. It has inspired countless modifications and new drive pedals over its 25 year history of production. In 2023, the Blues Driver helps to acknowledge the Golden Jubilee of Boss products.
