BOSS BD-2W Waza Craft Blues Driver, The Ultimate BOSS TOne Experience

This is easily the best drive pedal I own. The classic blues driver with a custom setting that sounds amazing. If you have been thinking of buying this stop thinking and just do it. This pedal is creamier than a dairy.

Love this pedal. I use it on every guitar track that I record on my home studio. Before I owned this pedal, my guitar tracks were getting lost in the mix. But since I've had this pedal the guitar tracks have a lot more definition and really 'pop out'. I wouldn't be without this pedal, it really has made a huge difference to my recordings. I'm not big on technical stuff, which is a good job, because this pedal's easy to use too. The only downside is the cost. I would've bought a standard blues driver pedal, but one wasn't available at the time, so after much contemplation I plumped for the Waza craft option instead. I don't regret it though. I love it!!

I bought this when my old BD2 broke and I wasn’t sure if I should spend the extra on the waza. I’m very glad I did. It brings this pedal to a whole new level. Well worth the extra €. Classic Boss build quality. Highly recommend!

This drive is very different from many others I have. It's fiery. It cuts through the mush and delivers a blistering solo sound on my LPS with P90s. It's a keeper.

Sounds absolutely fantastic and it’s very versatile at both low gain (great clean boost) and full gain (almost fuzz-like). It loses a star due to it being not true bypassed. This means if this pedal is placed first in your chain, any fuzz pedal or other pedal that requires interaction between your guitar volume will not work, which is disappointing (but typical of Boss’ design). Well worth it though as it’s a classic, and the updated circuit is fab.

Likely the best overdrive.It has a really good range from subtle to slightly over the top.Really nice when playing monophonic or duophonic.Not really for metal, there are better distortion pedals for that I would say, but great for rock and blues style for many popular bands styles.Not sure I needed the waza features, when on, the waza reminds me of the Dolby switch hifi devices used to have ie it adds tone maybe a little dull and less rough. Through a large amp this may make a huge difference. Better to have it and not regret it later though when you see reviews or your friends tell you how great waza is

Great tone, robust pedal. Love it.

What a sound. The tone that can be achieved from this pedal is amazing with my amps (Blackstar and Marshall). Wonderful for playing blues but also adds depth for a more rock/metal tone when stacked with another overdrive/distortion pedal.
