Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Marshall dealer

The Marshall Bluesbreaker II is just like 2 pedals in 1, a hot boost to give your solos that extra lift, or a truly valve-like overdrive, so rich in 2nd order harmonics that it'll make you weep and wail. Having a completely passive bypass means that you don't lose a single drop of your real guitar tone too!

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "Classic rock in a box"

Sound: I use this pedal in conjunction with a Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive, which is a more versatile unit. The Marshall gives me fuller, dirtier, higher-gain with that characteristic rough-textured tone. I use it for a straight-out rock sound. A Marshall sound! It is not the same as having a 'Marshall Stack in a pedal', but it does give an approximation of it, if you don't use Marshall amps - I use Fenders and Boogies. It colours your tone, even on the 'Clean Boost' setting, but that's the whole point. It's not particularly subtle and if you don't like a Marshall tone, then you won't like this pedal. Feature: You can use the clean boost setting to drive your pedals a little more, especially if you have a few in the chain. It would be much better with two switches, so you don't have to reach down and flip it over manually. Ease of Use: Very easy - see above comments. Quality: Seems very tough, solid metal casing. I would rely on it, very little that could go wrong. Value: Value is highly subjective, but it is a very good price. They're cheap. If you like its characteristic tone, then it is good value. Manufacturer Support: Never dealt with the company on this particular product, but if you live in the UK, Marshall after-sales is second to none. You can make an appointment to take your amp to their HQ in Bletchley and they will fix and rebuild it for you, for the price of the parts only. The Wow Factor: It's not a particularly appealing product in itself. I don't especially like the way it looks. Kinda retro, but not in a cool way. It's just a tool, not a fashion accessory. Overall: I have had this pedal a while, and it has been in and out of my rig over that time. I would not use it as my exclusive overdrive pedal, cos it's not very versatile. I use it at the moment specifically for a growly, classic rock sound.

Style of Music: rock, blues, country

"NOT BAD... (Interesting BOOST)"

Sound: This BB-2 is not even the shadow of the original black cased "blues breaker pedal" (if you can get one, stop reading and go get it!!!... Nevertheless is a good fighter in its own league... It is waaay better than, lets say, a BOSS BD-2 (nicer design, more control, boost function intended to push valve amps, etc.)'cause it delivers clearer & more defined chords, and... well...not much more... This pedal goes crazy and just canÂ´t give you a mild blues sound with a humbucker p/upin front of it... Anyway, it works for great for heavier sounds... You - youngsters-have to realize that a pedal like VoodooLab or Barber "will be twice the price", but they give you much more than,let's say, a BOSS BD-2 which is a ridicuosly overrated unit... It's like everyone is hypnotized and do not realize about how much it sucks... In the economic league there are alternatives like Digitech (yep,Digitech) Bad Monkey (40 bucks) or BBR "Green Screamer" (99 bucks)... They both are great,and years ahead of ibanez and BOSS... Feature: 4 Knobs is OK...Little EQ range... Ease of Use: It goes wild with the drive control at 2...It should be called "The Jimy Hendrix Blues Pedal"... Quality: One of the more robust pedal i've seen in 30+ years...Nice but not logical design (you have to go real near to see the little markers,pots are too close from each other.etcetera... Value: The value it's fine... You get a pedal for a life and maybe you are lucky to find how to ilk its best... Manufacturer Support: I do not have any experience... The Wow Factor: I already said it is very appealing... Nothing to compare with BD-2 and such (DOD)... Just the Bad Monkey is as strong and a better OD... The BBE might the the best of those three but it is ugly looking... Overall: I'm always buying pedals... I'll keep this and maybe one day give away to a good young player who likes it and needs it...

Style of Music: nice guitar music...
