    The BD-2 was my first pedal. Got it for christmas from my mom 20 years ago. :) I still have the same one, and I’ve given it a Monte Allums mod, I believe it’s called Blues Stack. Love that pedal, works with all guitars and amps. Very versatile from clean boost to a pretty hot classic rock overdrive. It dumps off a bit bass and is relatively flat and natural in the response, which is always a great thing.
    It has a good response to the guitar controls as well - from clean to crunch and onwards to solo with the volume control on the guitar. Great to bring in the gig bag if playing on a backline amp.

    I know this will start a fight but at high gain, almost all gain pedals sound like the same "static" to me. No BD-2 to Rat stacked flat out? LOL

    loL,.I guess i am confused by your confusion.
    A blues pedal might be also designed to greatly increase gain due to the type of guitar pickups and amps being used.
    If your gigging live ( lets pretend your in some classic rock cover band) and your guitar has Fender style single coils or P-90s and your amp is a Fender Twin Reverb or Deluxe or some other amp with a god-aweful amount of headroom and you need to play a song like say "Mississippi Queen" by Mountain or some song by Boston or Deep Purple,..
    You could try cranking the volume on those old , High headroom Fender tube amps until your in 70s rock-heaven,...but that might kill people, get you arrested or atleast never invited back to that particular venue,.LoL
    Or,.
    You now can simply push the gain on your "blues" pedal somewhere between 10 and 2 and then put your Strat into the middle position and TIME WARP,.back into late 60- mid70's Plexi tone minus the ear destroying volume levels!
    You guys are sitting in a closed room playing a semi-hallow guitar with two humbuckers,..Lol. Off course its going to push the everything into "80s Van Halen" tone pretty quickly lol!
    Single coils wont normally have the power to push a high headroom amp into any reasonable amounts of dirt at a low volume.
    Thats why the Clapton signature Strat has like an active 25db boost ,.so he can go from "journeyman" era cleans back to Gibson-style humbucker "woman tone" with the turn of a knob.

    my favorite pedal when in doubt crank the gain. but I have the Waza with a tone switch I would love to see a break down. it sounds different I think.

    Turn down the treble. It'll sound a lot smoother.

    I've got this bad boy, the way I use it is high volume super low gain and just get a little breakup for that blues tone. crank the marshall up it sounds great.

      A side note too, typically john and the blues guys aren't playing buckers. Typically they have single coils on a strat or the Silver Sky so thats definitely going to influence the sounds.

      That’s the trick for nice blues leads. To get my sound through the mix in a solo or lead riff. I run it in front of a mild overdriven Wampler Tumnus. After that I have a EHX Soulfood for extra boost. I run pedals in tube amps dialed in on slight breakup with humbuckers in front of it.
