Marshall Blues Breaker Or Boss Blues Driver? [Plus Keeley Blues Disorder & Origin Halcyon Blue]

What’s the difference between a Blues Breaker & Blues Driver overdrive pedal? And which one would you choose? Welcome to the show! Ever been confused about your Blues Breakers and Drivers? Us too… Today we’re comparing a ’90s Marshall BluesBreaker with a Boss BD-2w Blues Driver to see what we discover. After that we’ll move on to a couple of latest evolutions of the BluesBreaker design via Keeley and Origin Effects. Which ones do we like best? Have a guess… Both amps are on all the time, just in case that isn't obvious. Enjoy the show!
