Limited Edition Versions of Absolute Classics, Put Through their Paces
All our ducks in a row......
We are returned and for this instalment, we do indeed have a theme.
As you may have already heard, Boss have released 50th Anniversary versions of three of their most undeniably classic effects pedals.
What else could we do but hand it over to our very own Marquis of Modulation, the Grand Duke of Drive himself, to see what these little beauties can do.
Take it away my friend.
The Pedals
Boss BD-2-B50A - Ltd Edition 50th Anniversary Blues Driver
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Boss innovation in guitar gear and products, the Boss BD-2-B50A Blues Driver 50th Anniversary pedal comes armed with that same great and famous overdrive tone in a custom, shiny chassis. Just like the original BD-2 pedal, the 50th anniversary edition features the same circuit to give you that tube like gain response, giving you the ability too create a heavy distortion, all the way to a boosted blues crunch.
With only 7000 units made worldwide, the BD-2-B50A Blues Driver is a beautiful collector's piece celebrating one of the most influential pedal companies of all time. First up, there's that stunning metallic finish, but that's not all. This stompbox is decorated with a silver thumb screw, gold-capped knobs, a commemorative emblem, and a dedicated 4-digit serial number. Luxurious collectible packaging makes this the perfect addition to any pedal enthusiast's collection.
We run through all of it's settings and features in under 4 minutes, with no waffle. So sit back, relax, and most of all, have a good time, all of the time. Shop HERE.
Up Next......
Boss DS-1-B50A - Ltd Edition 50th Anniversary Distortion Pedal
Founded in 1973, BOSS has shaped the sound of the electric guitar for 50 years. The BOSS limited-edition 50th-anniversary DS-1 Distortion pays tribute to this five-decade milestone with a metallic finish, a "50th" logo and limited-edition serial on the side of the pedal, and an additional logo printed on the lid of the box.
The BOSS 50th-anniversary DS-1 Distortion arms you with the same twin-diode attack and high-octane grind favored by countless guitarists since 1978. The DS-1 continues to be a pedalboard staple to this day, thanks to a hard-edged, aggressive sound that somehow remains clear — even at max distortion settings. This stompbox is a sure fit for any genre of music, fuels heavy rhythms and cutting solos with equal assurance, and performs admirably as a boost in front of an already distorted amp. The BOSS 50th-anniversary DS-1 Distortion comes with special packaging and an eye-catching aesthetic commemorating the company's golden anniversary, BUT DON'T DELAY - they only made 7,000 units worldwide, so when they're gone, they're gonzo
We run through it's features and settings in under 4 minutes, so go make a cup of tea, we'll be here when you get back. Shop HERE.
And Finally.....
Boss SD-1-B50A - Ltd Edition 50th Anniversary Super Overdrive Pedal
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Boss’ innovation of guitar gear and products, SD-1-B50A Super Overdrive 50th Anniversary pedal comes armed with that same great and famous overdrive tone in a custom, shiny chassis.
Just like the original SD-1 pedal, the 50th anniversary edition features the same circuit to give you that tube like gain response, giving you the ability to create a heavy distortion, and be able to control the amount of gain through the tone control to prevent muddying the sound.
With only 7000 units made worldwide, the SD-1-B50A Super Overdrive is a true rare gem celebrating one of the most iconic pedal brands of all time. First up, there's that stunning metallic finish, but it doesn't end there. This stompbox is decorated with a silver thumb screw, gold-capped knobs, a commemorative emblem, and a dedicated 4-digit serial number. Bespoke packaging makes this the perfect piece for any pedal enthusiast's collection.
We run through all of it's features and setting in under 4 minutes with no waffle, because time is important and well, waffles are delicious.
