Boss BD-2 Blues Driver - Brent Mason Mod (Indyguitarist)

[ralphe01]

Hey Drgonzo, Thanks for the Demo. Hey what's the difference between this demo and the other one with the bypass switch? is it only the true bypass? Thanks man! I like this sound. Also can you do a a demo with the stock and this mod?

[drgonzoguitar]

@ralphe01 I don't have either pedal anymore. I made the BD2 true bypass when the flip-flop (buffered switch) died. Tonally speaking, there is no difference between stock or true-bypass.

[drgonzoguitar]

@ralphe01 The only difference is the bypass method.

[TheFoursaken]

Nice tone!

[heliobluesrock]

What a tone! Is the best tone of BD2 I've ever heard!

[Claymation99]

Please say that's My Maria at the beginning

[shadyancient]

muhahaha, my name is Mason, ftw =P

[MidasHert3]

that was a little Danny gatton in there harlan Noctrine I believe

[holmes1978]

EXCELLENT

[ersemola]

do you use single coil?

[Morethanl1f3]

it sounds nice =] but i like the heavier gain so i like my keeley mod bd but i can use one of these ones too =]

[monorailsandwich]

This pedal can have a little gain or a lot of gain. If someone wants to play acdc (not even hard rock) with a bd-2, they're not an idiot. But someone saying this pedal should only be used for certain styles sure has a closed & limited mind... And idiots usually have closed & limited minds.

[dmdt1313]

True! I play all kinds of music: from 'Pink Floyd' to 'Alice in Chains' to 'The Cure,' etc. & I use the 'Boss Blues Driver' (I have 2 of them - one is stock, the other is a Keeley mod) all the time!

[1957Stratman]

I like that. I have the BD-2 and I have noticed with mine as well as with other demos I've seen on youtube of the Boss model as well as several 'Modded' models, that when you crank the Gain, it starts to sound more like a Fuzz pedal. Now you had the good sense to turn down the level when you cranked the Gain, and I noticed a lot of other people didn't do that. But other than the Brent Mason Mod, they all seem to have a Fuzz box problem with the Gain cranked. I will look Brent Mason up.

[MidasHert3]

sounds like someone is playing some danny gatton harlan noctrine

[BrianGuitarShred]

very harsh on the high end, i don't know if it's the quality or not.

[drgonzoguitar]

It is sort of the nature of the blues driver to have some treble bite. Using a Tele doesn't help matters much either!

[Detman101]

@BrianGuitarShred: MHP Galaxie Mod for the BD-2 fixes all of the issues that the BD-2 has.

Unlike all these other "Popular" mods.

Dm

[drgonzoguitar]

@Detman101 Never heard of MHP Galaxie Mod. Again, the guitar is a tele. It is supposed to be bright in bridge pickup.

[shanegalang2]

Boss or someone should hire you! Great sounds and cool guitar playing.

[drgonzoguitar]

Thanks for the compliment!

[countryguitar4u]

How is for slide?

[drgonzoguitar]

It's not bad. Slide for me is interesting. I like to have enough gain on tap to roll the volume on the guitar back to control some of the low frequencies. You can do that with the BD-2.

[SparkleLuv07]

Have you guys heard the Moni-Q mod?

[m1ck57]

[jashobbsie]

have you ever heard the whizzer mod with 2 toggles on top? I own one, very nice as well.

[MrDarinWarren]

I'm huge BD-2 fan. I use it for most gain playing. Here's a snazzy little clip of mine.

watch?v=kvMKKhAaBJg

But, I also use a Fulltone OCD at half gain and will use the BD-2 to drive the OCD even more. Together it's sweet soupy saturated bliss.

[Adam1Lopez]

great touch on Harlem Nocturne!

[mrguest5]

YEAH!!! Deffinotly nice blusey tones there nice job too.I mean what can I say? You try out different pedals,and sometimes u have to.Go a long way.Just to try to find the right one or right ones. Thanks for that I also agree gr8 playing,and keep up the good work!!!!!5 star all the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

[jas944]

Had the Keeley BD-2 and the Indy BSM BD-2 blows it away. Can't understand why this mod isn't as popular- maybe the Keeley hype, eh??

[picajoool]

And whats an BSM BD-2?

Another mod of the blues driver or....?

[myway43]

The Keelys are good, but Brian has his mod down to a science. I think your right, Keely has a lot more hype and buzz going. That is one of the reasons I love youtube, a great guy like Brian can get a chance to get his products out there and get a little buzz going for himself. It is the American way. Lets see if we can drum up a littel Wampler buzz!

[drgonzoguitar]

Keeley is great! I also love the great work Brian does!

[liquidribs]

great tone :)

[mrkaiz]

great tone!

hello, i wonder that is there any mod kits available at singapore. =x

[telerocker5150]

is this the song "my maria' by brooks and dunn at the begginning? Great tone by the way.

[drgonzoguitar]

Yeah...it was that. I was going through my mental bag of licks to demo the pedal. It really is a great pedal for some early amp type breakup on a clean channel. Thanks for the compliments!

[telerocker5150]

your welcome man. sounds awesome!

[wampcat]

love it! ;)

great playing!
