it retails for 69.99 at musiciansfriend

This pedal produces the sound of something you would get in a vintage tube amp. It has 3 knobs on it, Level, Tone, and Gain
Level being volume, Tone being EQ and Gain being overdrive.
This pedal can be versatile if you find the time to mess with the knobs, you can go from a warm overdriven tone to a crunch setting without much problem.
It's made from boss and includes a 5 year warranty so you can stomp on it all you want, it has a metal casing. The BD-2 can be used primarily for an overdriven tube sound, or as a solo boost

With the Tone knob, you can create sharp sounds with more treble as you turn it to the right, or create a softer smoother sound as you turn it down
With this overdrive pedal, you can re-create some great tones and overdrive sounds without blowing your budget

Pros:
Versatile
Great sound
Great Tone
good price

Cons:
one tone knob, would like to have bass, mid and treb

Ratings:
Price : 7/10
Tone : 8.5/10
Features : 8/10

Great pedal

if you want distortion, buy a distortion pedal, this is an overdrive

Good review. I've owned this pedal for 8 years and use it a lot for classic rock tones. Never had a problem...
