Marshall BB-2 Bluesbreaker II
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.
