Which blues?

Was in the guitar store today, a chap was looking for a BOSS Blues Driver...

... but pointed to Marshall's Blues Breaker II instead.

If he had bought the BBII, went home, discovered the error, who's to blame? This is why it's important to know what you are buying to avoid such incidents. There are so many ways to prevent this omission; write it down on paper, store the image in your cellphone, ask a friend along, etc. It just takes a bit more effort on our part, as buyers, to prevent such a regrettable outing.

I did alert him of his error.

Blues buddies

These are 2 of my pedals bearing the 'Blues' label but I've never used them for blues. These are great drive-type boosters, they don't sound as polished as an overdrive, nothign too raunchy like a distortion either. You can call these the in-between pedals because that's the tone on offer.

BOSS Blues driver (BD-2)

• I don't fancy BOSS pedals, they are superb to many players out there but to me they are acceptable, nothing bad aobut them, nothing too attractive either
• The BD-2 offers enough dirt to prolong sustain but nothing over-powering to muffle chords, the jangle coming out of this pedal is very appealing (very suitable for blues-type drive hence its name)

Marhall Bluesbreaker II (BB-2)

• when amps experience an increase in gain (not drive), they will naturally break up to produce some drive, which is the implication of this pedal's label
• I bought this pedal because it has what its BOSS counterpart has to offer but with more poke without sounding harsh
• the bonus here is that the BB-2 offers a driveless mode so it effectively functions as a clean booster, akin to what MXR's Micro-AMP does to your tone
