Description
The Boss BD-2 was originally released in 1995 as a response to the growing blues revival headed by artists such as Eric Clapton and Gary Moore. Boss realised that people were starting to look for the classic tube driven sounds of ’50s and ’60s valve amplifiers which could not be faithfully replicated with the more modern solid state amplifiers of the ’70s and ’80s and the BD-2 was born. The pedal has been in production since it’s release and it’s circuitry remains unchanged.
The new Boss Waza Craft BD-2W is a new take on this classic stomp-box, which faithfully recreates the sound of the BD-2 and adds some new features. Built using a refined, discrete, all-analog circuit, the BD-2W has 2 modes; ‘Standard‘ and ‘Custom‘. Standard mode is the original circuit found on the BD-2 and custom mode features a new overdrive, rich in body and sustain.
The BD-2W is designed by the Boss Waza Craft Custom Shop. In Japan, the word ‘Waza‘ means ‘art and technique‘ and this is truly reflected in this range of stomp-box’s. Each Waza Craft product is constructed using analog components, refined circuitry and incredible attention to detail in all aspects of the design. Each stomp-box is given the final sound approval by Boss Japan.
