Marshall BB-2 Bluesbreaker II

Description

The Bluesbreaker II takes the philosophy of our original Bluesbreaker pedal one step further and features two modes, Blues and Boost. This effectively makes it two pedals in one.

Boost Mode is designed with the vintage valve amp or ‘tone purist’ type of guitar player in mind. If you don’t want to alter the tone of your amp at all, but want to drive the front end harder to push the amp further into natural overdrive. The Boost mode features a clean boost controlled by the pedal’s volume control, which will not affect your original tone. It can also be used for boosting the signal which can sometimes be lost when using long leads (particularly with single coil pickups).

Blues Mode is reminiscent of the tonal and distortion characteristics of our non master volume amps such as the classic Bluesbreaker combo from the 1960s. This Mode produces a wonderful natural style overdrive for crunchy chord work and singing single notes for truly inspirational leads, all delivered with the warmth and tonality of those early Marshalls.

The Bluesbreaker II features a true full passive bypass for the main signal path to ensure complete tonal integrity and has a quality of tone matched only by its versatility.
