BOSS (BD-2) Blues Driver 50th Anniversary

BD-2 Blues Driver 50th Anniversary by BOSS Pedals

Since 1973, BOSS has pioneered the development of unique and innovative guitar gear for players of all styles. From heavy distortion to subtle crunch, BOSS compact pedals remain the go-to for gain. And for those guitarists seeking a delicate, nuanced tone that allows technique to shine through, it's hard to beat the popular BD-2 Blues Driver. Introduced in 1995, this acclaimed drive pedal is revered for its broad palette of sounds, touch sensitivity and articulate, tube amp-like response.

Marking the celebration of BOSS's 50th anniversary, the limited-edition BD-2-B50A Blues Driver sports a metallic finish, silver thumb screw, and commemorative 50-year anniversary emblem. Appearing in exclusive livery with a dedicated 4-digit serial number and bespoke packaging, the BD-2-B50A features the same beloved circuitry as the standard production BD-2 Blues Driver. This collectible version is available in strictly limited numbers of no more than 7,000 units worldwide.
