Marshall Bluesbreaker II £45
Manufacturer's description
The Bluesbreaker II takes the philosophy of our original Bluesbreaker pedal one step further adding two modes, Blues and Boost, effectively making it two pedals in one. Boost mode is designed with the vintage valve amp or "tone purist" player in mind, for when 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 controlles 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 pick-ups). 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.

I only use this pedal for the boost feature, i tried the overdrive side of it and didnt like that much but the boost is exactly what i needed, all it does is increase the volume of my guitars signal before it hits the amplifier, if you need a pedal that does that then this is the pedal for you but if you need a good overdrive pedal look elsewhere, for that i would recommend the T Rex Alberta.
