Introducing the BlackBox Overdrive 2. Successor to the throne held by our hugely popular BlackBox Overdrive Classic, widely regarded as one of the best overdrive pedals available (Google it if you don't believe us!)

EXTERNAL SWITCH MOD VERSION IS HERE! The External Switch Mod allows all the internal switch functions to be switched from the outside without opening the pedal to access the DIP switches. Recommended if you're not a one-guitar or one-amp player, or if you like to tweak settings on the fly for tuning to a room or recording.

The new BlackBox Overdrive 2 is a hand-wired, 100% discrete analog, natural tube-emulating overdrive, clean boost, and tone enhancement tool with a proprietary, completely transparent tube-emulating variable and switchable JFET pre-gain clean boost control to push your BlackBox into high gear, or to squeeze more volume or fatness out of the front end.

THE BEST JUST GOT EVEN BETTER! The new BlackBox Overdrive 2 features a unique internal switching system for more control than ever before. Three hard-wired, 100% analog gain modes - Hi-gain Boost, Classic Low-Gain, and TRUE Clean Boost modes - along with a new internal Bright/Smooth switch, make the new BlackBox Overdrive 2 an absolutely indispensable tone tool, and a must-have on any pro-level board.

CLEANER CLEANS, LOUDER LOUDS, MORE GAIN AND OUTPUT VOLUME ON TAP THAN ANY OTHER BLUESBREAKER-STYLE OVERDRIVE AVAILABLE. Use the BlackBox Overdrive 2 in Hi-gain Boost Mode to utilize the proprietary in-house designed, tube-emulating variable JFET preamp Boost control to push the front end of the BlackBox Overdrive 2 into searing drive that melts into singing, harmonic-rich feedback. Switch to Classic Low-gain Mode for direct, fully hard-wired access to the same circuit and tone as that of our biggest seller, the BlackBox Overdrive Classic. Or, switch to Clean Boost Mode to take advantage of a versatile, ultra-clean tone enhancement tool and clean boost with TONS of available output volume and enough headroom to drive the front end of our tube amp into high gear the all-natural way. Use the Presence control for that chimey, bell-like Jimi bite without any harshness, and use the internal Bright/Smooth switch to smooth out the drive and fatten your tone, or get some extra spank. From subtle Lenny grit and dynamics, to fiery Voodoo-worthy drive, it's all here in the new BlackBox Overdrive 2.

THREE PEDALS IN ONE: Features three switchable circuit modes - Standard (Hi-Gain), Classic (Lo-Gain), and Clean Boost. External Gain, Tone, Volume, Presence, and pre-gain Boost knobs, plus internal Bright/Smooth Voicing and Mode switches - highly interactive controls that tap your signal in just the right places for a HUGE spectrum of both clean and overdrive tones out of just one box.

Extremely dynamic and vocal, with just a hair of compression and that amp-on-the-edge feel in Overdrive Modes - play softly or lower your guitar's volume, and your signal cleans up well; dig in and that hot tube growl will sing. Just a touch of mids to help cut through the mix without destroying your tone, and enough flexibility and transparency to enhance almost any setup, never detracting from the nuance and feel of the rest of your rig.

EVERYTHING THE BLACKBOX OVERDRIVE CLASSIC IS, AND SO MUCH MORE Like to keep it simple? The BlackBox Overdrive 2 can be switched to Classic Mode to convert the entire circuit into that of the simple 3-knob BlackBox Overdrive Classic, but with way more output volume, plus the option to utilize (or not utilize) a Bright/Smooth switch and Presence control. New for 2017/2018 - not available in 2016 models.
