About this product
Product Information
The new BOSS BC-2 Combo Drive guitar overdrive pedal generates a classic AC-inspired British combo-amp tone in a compact pedal, but that's just the starting point. With a single knob, you can instantly control a variety of sound-character parameters, and quickly tap into a full spectrum of tone. Achieve the perfect vintage sound or dial into higher gain or cleaner tone across a wider frequency range than the classic amp could provide on its own. The BC-2 Combo Drive also offers a natural and dynamic response to your picking nuances at any setting. This easy-to-use yet technically complex pedal takes you from authentic vintage tone to expanded new-generation performance and sound.The BC-2 Combo Drive's SOUND knob adjusts multiple parameters simultaneously across a range of zones. Smoothly transition from fat and clean tone in left zone to high-impact crunch in the upper zone and high-gain distortion in the right zone. Find the perfect classic setting or go beyond previous limits. Crank the SOUND knob to the DRIVE position, for example, and get a creamier high-gain tone than the classic combo could provide, as if you were driving the amp with an external booster. Likewise, if you turn the knob to the CLEAN position, you can clean up the tone across a wider frequency range than the original amp could deliver. A universe of great tone is as simple as a single knob twist.Dedicated EQ knobs are provided for instantly sculpting your tone. The BASS knob provides direct control of the lower-frequency range; the TREBLE knob provides control of upper frequencies. A master LEVEL knob controls the overall volume of the pedal when it is turned on.The input jack accepts signals from a guitar, another musical instrument, or another effect unit. This jack also doubles as the power switch. Power to the unit is turned on when you plug into the INPUT jack; the power is turned off when the cable is unplugged.Road-Tough BOSSBOSS compact pedals are world-famous for their great sound as well as their road-tough construction, consistency, and reliability. The BC-2 inherits this BOSS-proven design, offering guitarists a solidly constructed pedal that's built to withstand decades of demanding use.Wide range of tones with a single knobfrom classic crisp clean and punchy crunch to creamy overdrive with long sustain and beyondNatural and dynamic response to picking nuance at any knob positionProvides warm combo tones and authentic combo-amp cabinet resonanceSound, Bass, Treble, Level controlsProduct Identifiers

This has become my go-to OD/Dist pedal on my board.
I have had more expensive pedals (Mad Professor, EHX, MXR, OCD. But they never performed well with other effects through my Marshall JVM & JCM. Clean is one thing, but to get a nice lead with effects really lets this Boss shine. The price, amazing! This was a brand new in box never used perfect unit! So happy I took the plunge. To a little OD auto OMG.......this gets it done!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished

Yuck! Does not sound good with my amp
I was all excited to get this but it just does NOT play nicely with my amplifier (solid state Randall RG100ES). Just didn't work for me at all. Maybe it goes well with other amps or playing styles?Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished

AWESOME!
I have been using it just before my DI Box when recording without an amp. The level output is fantastic for direct recording. Clean,Crunch or Drive you can really hear the British Stack tone! I'm keeping it on my pedal board for good.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished

Nails the old combo tone.
This pedal sounds great and it has one of the most effective gain control I've used making it extremely versatile. You can dial this in to the old Fender combo sounds to over the top drive. The "crunch" is spot on old Fender and the tone controls help you get the sound you want. Turn the "crunch" up and you can get some serious saturation reminisant of a full blown stack. Great pedal effect.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Clean drive or nice to put some hair on the tone. It’s my first pedal in the chain followed by a Tube Screamer then an OCD.
Works well, does what I need it to do. Wanted clean drive without distortion.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
