Sounds very close to Boss Bluse Driver; but not identical! a little more compressed and less low-mid range that gaves BD-2' warm end. very good overall. Bass and Treble controls are a plus to BD-2 but dialing a BD-2 sound out of it is tricky; you should always start from the lowest and gradually add Bass and Treble to reach the sound you want. It is true about the two other Digitechs that I own; Hot head and Grunge. If you start with everything at max then you may lose your guitar's original sound characters. The Gain works great and can clean up to only boost up to a rock-blues distortion; really amazing! this part is better than BD-2 that is not that good on the highest gain side. The distortion sound at higher gains is a bitt more compressed than Boss and to me it is nice thing and helps you keep one pedal instead of two on your board if you need some distortion on your parts. Of course, the enclosure is solid, durable and heavy in a good way. The mixer output maybe a plus for those who use it but to me, not so useful. Overall a really good versatile pedal in a reasonable price, especially recommended when can buy it at used price range (to me it is a universal rule, except for digital effects).

The Digitech Screamin' Blues distortion pedal is a very good pedal at a very good price. I heard a guitar player using it with a 50's RI Strat through a Blues Junior and it sounded really, really good so I got one and 30 something dollars later I'm very happy with it. It's especially good if your amp has a gain control or you use it in combination with another overdrive pedal. It's also a very natural sounding pedal as well ! One thing I've learned is your guitar's pickups have a huge impact on whether you'll like an OD pedal or not. Before passing judgement on this (or any other) pedal try it with low, medium, and high output pickups. All in all, you can't go wrong with this one.
great effect for those of us that like simple great sound and you don't have to break the bank. This pedal is perfect for all types of music and able to be dialed in however... Its a great example you don't have to spend 100's of dollars for great sound

Digitech pedals tend to give you complete control over your tone--on this pedal you can put the treble, bass & gain exactly where you want it to find that "sweet spot." The Screamin' blues pedal is very similar to the Boss Blues Driver (I have one of those also). You can go from a clean boost, to a tasty crunch, or crank it up all the way and (tho still bluesy) you'll get a nice classic rock overdrive that borders on a distortion pedal. I love this pedal and you will too.

This is a great distortion pedal for the price. You can get a nice clean boosted signal, or you can get a dirty crunchy distortion if you tweak the settings just right. I'm really glad that they have a low and high EQ you can adjust. If you are looking for a light distortion that mimics a tubescreamer for a low price, i highly recommend this pedal
This screamin Blues pedal is really fun. It has a nice distortion sound with fairly clean overdrive.

The best overdrive/distortion pedal I've ever used...Over the years I have tested or owned many overdrive pedals, boutique, mid range, and cheap.....this one has always beat out the others to my ears....it has the harmonics, transparency, and vintage gain of the best Tube screamers....but is smoother and has more natural sounding sustain.......to this day I can't believe that this low priced pedal sounds better than everything else.....

The Screamin' Blues is one of my favorite dirt boxes and I have a bunch. It does overdrive well, has good tone controls, but most importantly, it is capable of clean, transparent boost. A go-to Swiss army knife of a pedal for a bargain of a price new or used.

I got this for a great price on Ebay. I was reluctant to try a digital pedal but this is better than my other analog pedal.
