The classic — phattened up
The BD2 is a classic for guitar players, and for good reason. The 2 cascading op-amps provide a cornucopia of tones from light overdrive to heavy distortion and it's therefore at home in any player's pedalboard.
The Waza Craft version adds the so-called 'Keeley Phat Mod' which combats the pedal's major weakness: at higher gain levels, the original BD2 lacks some bottom end. You can switch between the original sounds and the phat mod as you please — it's the BD2 but more.
Pros:
- All the classic BD2 tones...
- ...And built in 'Keeley Phat Mod'...
- ...In the classic blue housing!
- Built like a Boss pedal — nothing can destroy this pedal!
Cons:
- Boutique price

Waza Craft - Excellence from BOSS
It's about ¤70 more than the standard Blues Driver, but the Waza is crafted a bit differently. Parts are carefully selected from the highest quality and new features are added to these units to give them a bit more versatility. The standard Blues Driver is a beauty for sure, but the Waza is a work of BOSS art. Is it worth the extra ¤70, I can't say for sure. Each user will have to judge for themselves. Personally, I've very happy with this unit, glad that I've rediscovered the awesome quality and engineering of BOSS. My original 1981 CE2 is still in use and functions like it did the day I received it BOSS is really built to last. BOSS continues to innovate and create some of the best pedals on the market. Forget the boutique craze. The big boys do it well and BOSS is the Boss.

Mellow sound with extreme volume
This is the loudest pedal in all the Waza Craft Line. I use it to push other pedals and to get Fuzz or very thick distortion from Metal Zone. Pretty awesome pedal. It's so loud they I can use it as a pre-amp and go str8 to the power amp.

From boost to gain
This is one of the few great pedals. It is versatile and can add anything from a slight sparkly boost right upto a heavy gain sound. I do not consider this a Blues effect pedal because it’s nothing like eg. a pushed Fender amp and it sounds like an effect. But you’ll never want it off your board.

Great Transparent OD
Be careful what you want from an OD as the Blues Driver may not be it. If you want a full spectrum transparent OD you really can't beat this pedal. If you want low end roll off and mid-pushed EQ then go for a Tubescreamer for example. There is a reason this is Boss's top selling pedal ever (I think).

Great sounding pedal.
I'm the owner of an old Blues Driver. My favourite Overdrive together with the TS9. This new Waza Craft version is sounding a little bit fuller. Maybe a little bit more present. Recommended.

Great
Very flat frequency response but with bass roll off. Nice gritty sound, slightly boxy in custom mode but in a good way. High quality feels.
