How to sound like David Gilmour on a budget - Boss BD-2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 сер 2018
- Is it possible to cover multiple David Gilmour tones with just one easily available non-boutique pedal? The Boss BD-2 is perhaps one of the most popular and versatile overdrive pedals on the market. In this video I'll demonstrate how you can set the pedal up with a tone that allows you to cover a lot of ground, by manipulating the guitar volum control.

What’s even more amazing is the smooth playing. Getting the Gilmour feel right.
Thank you!
Been using this pedal for 21 years and it’s been rock solid. For me as a family man, it’s a great time to be a guitarist with so much affordable, good sounding gear out there.
Boss BD-2 is one of the most versatile pedals on the market.
The waza craft is even better. If you can believe it.
I got 4 of them. Keeley, Waza Crap, Alchemy modded and stock. The Alchemy is on my board cause it has a good dirt sound at low gain. With 3 drives on my board, I tend to keep the gain low so the noise level is bearable. The Keeley and Waza are very clean with little gain. The stock is more noisy than I would ever believe. Also I got all these used and cheap compared to most prices I see on Ebay or Reverb.
I gotta say when I stumbled upon your site and videos when I was painstakingly searching out everything Gilmour tone related, I felt like you were a godsend! Literally everything I’ve wanted to know you have documented and explained. Thank you for that. You are my Google for Gilmour lol. Your playing is amazing and I appreciate all you put out. Cheers!
Thanks for your very kind words!
Jesus I love the tone.I too spent years in the 90s trying to find a Gilmour style tone.....never occurred to me to try this pedal....cheers
Try it on 12 volts, the tone improvement will surprise you
@@BluesPre If you want your pedal to break, that is. That being said, it does sound great at 12v
As always, we appreciate your insight, your knowledge, your talent, and your mature grace in presenting information that otherwise isn't communicated in other videos. Cheers!
Thank you!
Thank you, I love this pedal too!!! Great choice!
What I do with my BD2 is I push the tone all the way up, but I turn the tone knob on my guitar all the way down. That way, all the high ends coming out are from the pedal and it doesn’t have any shrillness. Very rich and full! Gives me a very Santana-esque sound.
Thanks for the video, I had heard this was quite a good option for that "on the go" Gilmour tone and you've convinced me it's possible
Thanks for the new series of videos like this one and the other ones like the Rotary...really helps!
Sublime playing, as per usual Bjorn.
Thanks!
Just got this pedal based off this review and I'm incredibly impressed by it, super excited to dig into more! Thanks Bjørn!
Great pedal 👍
Thanks. This is one of the videos that has helped me decide.
I love your channel. You are a nerd but in the best possible way. You've really helped me enjoy my playing. Thanks a lot.
Cheers!
Just bought one today! Have loved playing around with it so far!
Great demo and great tone. Thanks for posting.
Thanks!
Awesome video!!! Very good explained Bjorn. Thanks!!
Thanks!
I bought a bd2 after watching this video an about a year ago and, it has brought me a lot closer to DG’s tone. It’s difficult to get his tone at bedroom volume but, this pedal was a tremendous improvement. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Whooaa mate!! Amazing tone right there! Going to be getting BD-2 definetely :D
I already had one of these ordered before I watched this video but wow! Thanks for justifying my purchase, Bjorn! I really appreciate these budget videos!
Thanks!
I've been considering BD2 but this video really sold it to me!
Amazing! I have one, and mine is modified in Keeley specs, and this pedal doesn't get out of my pedalboard never! Hugs!
Great demo of my favorite and longest running pedal on my board. 9 years now. It’s actually my high gain Tube Driverish pedal on my Cornish Mk II inspired chain with the TD-X as the boost for my Muff.
Awesome!
I got a nice feeling listening to this.
Nice. Great quality to the sound and made simple. Thanks
The only thing better than the gorgeous guitar tones is your playing. You do justice to any video about David Gilmour. Thanks. I might just buy a BD2 and the other pedals only because of your playing.
Thanks for the kind words!
In this video I'm presenting one of my all time favourite overdrive pedals, the classic Boss BD-2.
gilmourish riis you should be responding to all of your comments man, otherwise the audience feels like we’re just being taught but can’t ask questions, there’s no point in me ever commenting if I’m not gonna get a response. Trust me it will make a big difference
Wackentosh Jr any idea how much time it’d take answering all youtube questions AND all the questions he gets on his site? I don’t think you’d do it either
DoctorSpock there’s 24 comments here, most of which he will just say thank you. And if he keeps up with it it won’t take long at all. Are we looking at the same comment feed?
Wow man, entitled much? How about just enjoy the sounds?
@wackentoshjr Not sure what you're tring to achieve here but this video was posted only a couple of hours ago and I reply to each and every comment.... for free. I say a polite thank you to those who thank me and I reply to every question. Be polite and enjoy.
Nice presentation of this pedal.
Nice playing with sweet tone on a budget!
Thanks!
Had one of these on my board for over 20 years. My absolute fav dirt box.
Really nice tone and playing.
Dude that black strat is KILLER!!
Neck binding, no messy-cut cavities beneath the pickguardstratocaster. Two things, and Wow! what a difference!
Sweet tones too, Slam dunk!!
Easily my favorite overdrive pedal. And it sounds great on bass, even stock.
Lovely sound.. I have this pedal but not the other gear. Have a fender squire and Marshall 10cf But I was not expecting this level of class in tone. Bravo!!!
Beautiful tone!
Great tone and wonderful playing!
Thanks!
Awesome Bjorn! Really great example of playing on a budget.
Thanks!
Bloody lovely, that's just your playing. I really need to get one, been putting it off for years but now I have no excuse. Excellent demo as always, bravo.
Thank you!
I like the binding on that fender neck!
Awesome demo! You really capture Gilmour’s playing too. Your phrasing is excellent 👍🏼
Thank you!
Nice vid Bjork, ive been following your web and your channel since 2013 and i can say that most of my equipment has been bought with the help of your reviews and tone guides. I have a BD-2 for recommendations from your web, is one of the nice sounding, good build quality and versatile pedals of all of my pedal board and now is nice to have a slightly help for dialing Gilmour tones. Thanks and greetings from Perú.
Glad to hear! Thanks!
Stunning playing!!!
Thank you!
Great demo of my favourite Boss drive pedal.
I use two: the Keeley SPM Ge (based on his famous BD-2 phat mod) and the Monte Allums BD-2 Blues Stack modded version. One set for lower gain/boost, one set for higher gain.
Nice set up you got there. That Ge phat mod is so nice!
@@ripplebear Thanks. It works very well as a de facto Coloursound tone.
I put if after my Keeley Darkside Fuzz - amazing! Turned a modern RAT-type tone into a Fuzzface-meets-Muff. Perfect midrange.
Great tones!! Thanks!!!
Great demo Sr. , you have got a vey good tone from BD-2! This is one of may favorite drive/dist pedals which I use incessantly. Thank you for share this vídeo!
Thanks!
Very nice! I'm inspired to put my BD-2 Waza back on my board and try higher gain settings and use the guitar volume control more!
I finally got a chance to try out your tip and was really pleased with the results. BD2 to a Peavey Classic 30. Playing a Standard Telecaster. Nice 😀
Sounds like a solo on No more lonely nights (Paul McCartney) Great sound!
Recorded by DG with a flangered OD
Wow great sound!! Really like to see more of those videos!! :D
Thanks!
Great sound!! Thank's for the valuable advice
Nice! I'm getting this pedal as my first stomp box, nothing beats Boss.
Did you get it?? And if so,what were your next 100 pedals lol
@@jordanpratt3821 not really, I've got myself a japanese maxxon overdeive/distortion with a tube inside.
Amazing Budget! Kisses from Brazil!
Your playing as the pedal sound pretty convincing to my ear 👌🤠
Beautiful playing!
Thanks!
Thanks for this Video! I have got one and I love it ... 😊
This is a great look into the BD-2. It's really cool when you do these types of videos. The Bd-2 sounds killer with the Lionheart. Also your playing is as strong as your Viking beard lol.
Ha ha! Thank you!
Fantastic video ... I've been a fan of your website for a long time ... I've now subscribed
Thank you!
Bjorn, you’re my new hero :)
Well, thank you 😎
What a tone brother 👏👏👏
Now THAT'S how to use a blues pedal. Excellent!!
Great touch. Really great touch-
Thanks!
It is truly amazing :)
The sound of the guitar leaves the speaker and it is ringing in front of me.
Moreover, it is very clean.
I also study to be able to master the effectors. Always thank you for your proper guidance ♪

Thanks!
floyd canvas miu это музыка на века
Great video! I hope to see more Gilmour on a Budget videos! Great idea.
Stay tuned :)
Hooray! Gilmour for us minimum wage workers.
Cool tone!👍
What a great sound!
Thank you!
Love your guitar playing
Thank you!
Very nice playing.
Thanks!
Congratulations. You've just convinced me to go out and buy this pedal
Mission acomplished! 😉
WOW! Love that axe too!
Very glad to stumble upon this as I have both those pedals and have been trying to get something close that sound, though with a telecaster. I thought the flanger sounded a little high when you had the volume all the way up.
Haha That Shine on You Crazy Diamond at the end sounded really nice.
Learned so much so soon,ty
Thank you!
Hello. Good review. Good to see pedal knobs position.
Top notch sound and playing. Thanks. :)
Thank you!
Beautifully transparent overdrive that works with any guitar, but it really goes with a strat like peanut butter goes with jam (or if you're Swedish, like herring goes with butter). Awesome value for the money too!
i watch this only for the solo amazing solo man
Thanks!
Such a beautiful creamy clean tone ❤️🎸🎸
Thank you!
Nice playing
Idk why this pedal so related with psychedelic genre, awesome review,i like your sound settings! Thumbs up
Summer Breeze, that's why!
FUCKKKKK, I just had the best eargasm EVER, this is the best demo for this pedal in youtube thank you so much!
Thank you!
Great help. Cheers.
I’m more of a fan of the Marshall Bluesbreaker pedal, but the BD-2 is a fantastic piece of kit, and well worth checking out for anybody who needs something below DS1/D+/Rat levels of gain.
Your tone and bends are awesome! I’ve been on the fence about getting this pedal; most reviews I’ve seen have shown it with more fuzz and focused on the bottom end. I have those types of pedals already. This was very helpful to hear it in a different, more transparent light, and helped me decide to buy one. Thanks for the great post!
Thank you!
Same thing that was holding me back, this video made me want one now.
SUPER VID, Brother!!!!
Black Strat turns into
Red Strat at 5:02!!!!
Truly awesome indeed!!
I'll have to go shopping too!!
Thanks TOO much for posting!!
Thanks!
That neck is so sick.
Can't see it. He's got a beard in the way.
It's just so versatile.
I got the keeley phat mod and it's absolutely stellar in every way possible. I guarantee you if you buy any version of the blues driver you'll love it. I did so much research and wow... It's perfect
Thx for that Video. I need to get one for sure. Greetings from Austria :)
Thanks!
Great sound
Thank you!
I have an OD3, to my ears a similar sounding pedal to the BD2, it should do the same trick. Thanks for the upload 🤘🏻
Years ago, I went to a musical instrument store to try some pedals.
I asked to try some Boss pedals and a Rat. I took the Rat and the BD-2. I Just love them.
Så himla bra ljud. Impad!
Takk!
I've been following your shit since I was like 12 years old. I'm an adult now and I have always thought your channel and website were great. Instead of asking myself why you always reviewed expensive pedals I worked my ass off and bought a colorsound power boost and a fender twin. I figured out how to work them and I sound great now. Thanks for all the years of enjoyable content.
Thanks for the kind words :)
Tnx Bjorn! this video show me that i don't need OD and fuzz. the bd2 is enough.
Absolutely!
So beautifull i love
Thank you for this demo; it made me a believer that that awesome tone was achievable at an affordable price. I recently purchased one of the better (imho) BD2 clones. I am shocked at how good that pedal is. You can get that range of a slightly dirty boost to an almost fuzz sounding tone from one pedal. I’d been looking for a while now for an alternative pedal to the Powerboost, one that’s budget friendly and low volume/bedroom friendly. The Blues Driver, or any of it’s good clones, does an amazing job at nailing those awesome, glassy Powerboost tones from DSOTM or WYWH. It also can do the Tube Driver thing pretty well, too, and plays nice with both the classic silicon Fuzz Face and Big Muff. A must for Gilmour enthusiasts and guitarists in general.
Yep. I’ve used the BD2 for over 20 years and it never fails.
Brilliant.
My favorite pedal period. Also recommend the boss angry driver, a blues driver and jhs angry Charlie combined.
Wonderful my friend
Thank you!
Very nice .
