Marshall Bluesbreaker II . . . light Britt 'OD' in a box ?

[SirJackdeFuzz]

As some of you might know by now, i have a Blues Jr. and every now and again, i miss that light OverDrive from my old crappy Marshall MG15 (believe it or not), i kinda liked the drive with the gain on 8:30 o'clock !

Is the Marshall Bluesbreaker II OD the pedal that will give me a light/slight Marshall'y overdrive ?

I'm not looking for a Marshall Distortion, just a (very un-like Fender) nice Marshall'y gritty OD.

Does anyone use one of these Marshalls, or any of the other in the range/series ?
Sound clips ? Where can i try and find any of those ?

I do not want to spend much more than $100.00, as the exchange rate IS KILLING us on this side of the world !


Thanx Guys

Absolutly! The Bluesbreaker II is my main overdrive pedal, it goes from light to heavy Marshall Crunch, and is a great match for your amp.

Thank you, "Stratcat" . . .


. . . so you use it as an OD-only, or does it go into distorsion clipping too ?

I use it for both. I also use it as a clean boost. IMO, this pedal sounds better than some boutique pedals that cost a lot more.

Fantastic !


. . . looks like i need to order one then !

I liked the clips on the site, and that BOOST sounded "raw & gritty" - LOVED IT !


Thanx again !
