About this product

Product Information

If you’re looking for the right distortion for your guitar solos, then the Marshall BB-2 Bluesbreaker II pedal is an excellent option. With this effect pedal, put your music into overdrive and give it a thicker sound, increased volume, and notes that will linger. With two different modes, Boost and Blues, the second generation of the Marshall Bluesbreaker pedal can either push your amp to the limits without altering your balance or give you that vintage feel that’s often elusive. With controls for switch, drive, tone, and volume, you can truly customize your guitar performance. Dial it in or shape it on the fly for a particular tune. A solid metal casing adds durability and a sleek, finished look.The Bluesbreaker is designed to help replicate the classic Marshall tube amp sound. The Boost style is very pure and gives you a simple and clean overdrive on demand. This setting is perfect if you’re lucky enough to have a great tube amplifier and want to let its natural tone shine through. You can, of course, shape the EQ, but the key is that there’s no coloration of the signal aside from what the instrument and output give you. This pedal works great with the amps Marshall is known for, but you can also pair it with any other brand of amps and achieve equally phenomenal results.The Blues set of adjustments is a little more hands on. The gear now adds its own color to the tone, which gives it just a little gain while leaving room for both rhythm and lead tones. The effect is subtle, but it does an excellent job of giving you just the right feeling. Moreover, you can combine this pedal with other pedals in your signal chain or even an amp that provides some of its own distortion. There’s a huge range of possible effects because layering more gain on top of the BB's effect leads to quite a range of sounds. These vary from warm and fuzzy to crunchy and cool. The notes are never washed out or muddy, and they maintain clarity at all times no matter how hard you push.If what you want is that original midcentury, bluesy feel, then look no further. A good amplifier is necessary to give you the full experience, and the BB from Marshall is probably the best pedal for just that sound. The quality and durability is exceptional, and the product boasts characteristics that are associated with many high-end pedals. This pedal is perfect when you know exactly what sound you want, but it’s also an amazing platform for experimentations. It certainly plays well with other pedals as well.This is a pedal that will take you back to sounds from decades ago. You can purchase it knowing that it will be in your arsenal for many years to come. It complements many other types of gear, both new and old, and it's flexible enough to stay with you as your style and skill evolve.

  • It's for tube Amps.I got the Fender clean sound ,and niw I get the Marshall dirty sound for my lead guitar ,and heavy stuff.Truly blues rock sound .

    Use it with tube amps .I am plugging into a champ,and now I get a nice Marshall overdrive sound ,with Fender cleans I use it with a homemade 2 6v6 amp and wow .This is blues rock .You need a little more gain to play metal nn Eddie VanHalen solos.but this thing has a place for sure.

  • Great Overdrive pedal.

    Classic and / or the British Blues Overdrive (Marshall's Bluesbreaker amp tone). Check out in YouTube, Texas Alley Blues, The 3 Primary use of an overdrive pedal. Issues low bottom end and / or flat of the bass tone, re-adjust is Bass setting on the amp (if the amp has it), or simple EQ or Para EQ Pedal will assist. Enjoy & have fun. Thank you.
