How to sound like David Gilmour on a budget - Boss BD-2 

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.

Thank you!

Thanks for your very kind words!

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

Thank you!

Thanks!

Great pedal 👍

Thanks!

Cheers!

Thanks!

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.

Thanks for the kind words!

Glad to hear! Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Awesome!

Thanks!

Thank you!

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.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Ha ha! Thank you!

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.

Recorded by DG with a flangered OD

Stay tuned :)

Hooray! Gilmour for us minimum wage workers.

People often neglect these classics but the fact is that they're featured on more classic recordings than you can imagine.

My mini board gain-stage is TS-9/808>SD-1>BD-2.

Classic!

Mark Lugg try od-3 it should.have.been called bd-3!!

I think I have tried an OD-3, but it's been a long time and I don't really remember it. Maybe I'll try it again :)

Thanks!

Thank you! Easy to overlook these classics!

gilmourish riis Hey Bjorn, Thanks for the reply my friend. So last night I did in fact break out my old BD-2 for the first time in a while...and I really liked the results in getting a "budget Gilmour tone". Two things I did though which tones down some of the fizziness associated with a Blues Driver. First, here was my simple signal chain. American Standard Strat (Dimarzio Area Pickups)>Barber Tone Press Compressor>Boss BD-2>Xotic EP Booster>Reason Bambino Grande amplifier (20 Watt setting). The Tone Press running before the BD-2 and the EP Booster running after the BD-2 really seemed to tame some of that fizziness with the Blues Driver that you spoke of. I also kept the tone knob on the Blues Driver on only at 9:00. Anything higher it sounds a bit shrill and nasally. I didn't use any delay at all or a modulation pedal, but it was still good enough to capture a decent Gilmour overdrive sound similar to "Time" and "Money" from Dark Side of the Moon. So there you have it. My version of Gilmour on a budget. All 3 of the pedals used were VERY affordable... Cheers!

Thanks for the kind words :)

Thank you!

Summer Breeze, that's why!

Yep. I’ve used the BD2 for over 20 years and it never fails.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Takk!

Can't see it. He's got a beard in the way.

Thanks!

Do you have the SPM standard or the germanium?

I have the regular and love it. Never played the germanium but the demos I heard sounded great!

So Frank, what do you say, the SPM sounds exactly like the BOSS BD2 WITH KEELEY MOD or better, not the same??? I'm trying to decide which one to buy.

I really don’t know since I have never played a Keeley modded BD-2. Compared to the stock BD-2 the SP is more smooth and gentle and far less noisy. I guess the Keeley mod also involves some component upgrades ... but zu am only guessing. Maybe somebody has first hand experience here?

Thanks!
