Review: Exceptional range of pure tone - I can't compare this to the non-Waza version since haven't tried that one. For reference: I'm using this with various guitars and pickups, going into the clean channel of a valve amp I'm very familiar with. First, the tone and musicality of this pedal is remarkable - in a very good way - ranging from almost creamy to super biting, as you change the settings. There is a huge range of gain. At low levels it can act as a tone enhancing boost. Right though to smooth searing blues lead. The volume had all the range you could need, so great for a solo volume increase if that's useful for you. At reasonable gain levels there's no discernible added noise or hum, and the dynamic sensitivity of this creature is so responsive to touch, finger or plectrum intensity, and guitar volume knob that I spent hours with the pedal set to on, and just vibing out using my guitar controls and pickups and having a magical vibe out. Yet to really explore the custom setting switch tones, but initially, that introduces another spectrum of slightly different options. I am over the moon with this pedal and highly encourage you to try it if looking for this type of pedal. I've owned the closely competing green pedal by another brand, which is also phenomenal, so I don't see it as better or worse, just different. This one suits my preferences better, but that's entirely subjective. A final word: I'm finding this great as both a viable extra amp channel, as well as something I can keep on whilst using the clean channel (set to really clean) and breaking up the sound purely by rotating the guitar's volume knob.
Review: A classic overdrive. - There are so many overdrive pedals on the market these days that it can seem like a minefield. Thankfully, you can't go very far wrong with the classics. After years of trying various drive pedals, I think I've finally found the right one. My tonal preference has always been for natural valve breakup, something which requires an amplifier to be cranked up to deafening volumes. Most of the pedals I've used have sounded far too "synthetic" and clinical to me. The BD-2 manages to avoid this and produce a very "amp like" drive tone... Its surprisingly transparent, and has plenty of gain available. It can easily handle anything from blues, to hard rock although I would look elsewhere if you play metal. A common complaint about the BD-2 is that it can sound "fizzy" at higher gain settings. Compared with some pedals such as the Ibanez Tube Screamer this is true, but to my ears at least, this is closer to how a cranked amp naturally sounds. It could perhaps do with a little more bottom end, but a slight adjustment your amp settings compensates for this should you feel the need to. But it certainly doesn't suck out bass and boost mids like a Tube Screamer or SD-1 might, its an altogether fuller tone, and works very well as a standalone drive, as well as a clean boost. As any good pedal should, it responds beautifully to your picking and volume level, and cleans up completely with the guitar's volume rolled off. Boss are known to produce very reliable, and tough pedals. There are thousands of 30+ year old Boss pedals, still being used all over the world... They're built like tanks. Though I've only owned this pedal for a short time, I see no reason to think that reliability will be an issue.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great overdrive
*by P***E on 25 May 2025*

Great product. A little expensive, but they seem to hold their second hand value, so I also have the option of moving it on. Used by many professional rock outfits, so clearly a winner. My Boss pedals from 40 years ago still work like new, so it should last.
