Keeley Boss BD2FF

Description

SKU: SKU407 The BD-2 mod is extremely popular — we call it the BD-2 Freak Fuzz. Instead of using the diodes typically used to create the distortion, Keeley uses Germanium transistors (AC-188) as diodes. They drill a hole in the BD-2 and they fit in there perfectly. Keeley use part of these to increase the distortion. Cosmetics changes were added as well. Keeley did a DS-1 MOD for Steve Vai where it has the little flashing light that corresponds to the Distortion. They liked the Cosmetics of this change so much that they added it to the BD-2 and people think it’s the coolest thing visually. Since day one, Keeley have also been adding a Bass response Boost to the BD-2 that increases the thickness of the bass. It’s not that the bass response of the BD-2 is bad it’s just that some people have thinner sounding systems than others. Not everyone has that luscious perfect sounding Bass response and the Bass Boost compensates for what some rigs might be lacking. On the left side of the pedal is a Gain Switch Keeley cut out some of the capacitors that are used in the BD-2 to make it sound less harsh and to reduce some of the gain. A capacitor value to increase the "edge" and gain to the point of Fuzz. When the pedal is cranked it's much like Santana's tone!
