Boss BluesDriver
The Boss BD2 is a pedal that has made an impact with many great players thanks to its great, transparent, tubey overdrive. This pedal is great for just pushing your amp into saturation, great for anyone playing the blues! But it also does a great "full on" distortion which is rich yet clear with all the notes of the chord clearly ringing through. If you are looking for a distortion which remains unmuddied at high gain - look no further than the BD2.
As you probably know, Boss pedals have a reputation for being built like brick outhouses! You can be pretty sure that however much you drop it, kick it, throw it and jump on it, it will still come back for more punishment! These pedals constantly survive the rigors of rock 'n' roll touring, and that's why they're seen at the feet of top touring pros everywhere. Reliability really can be affordable to all, and Boss are so sure that their compact stomps will last that they cover them with a full five year warranty.
