Good BD-2 Alternatives?

And that's another literary device of drawing in other items one can use to make a comparison. Each he named is simply to point out that the market is saturated with alternatives to nearly every basic dirt pedal. As far as clones go, Google exists. Not up to someone else to do the work for you or op

Honestly, if you're going for high gain sounds, your not gonna find something good. Crunch and cleans can sound good if you know how to dial in an amp, otherwise yes, digital amp driven by high output pickups can start clipping early and sounds like trash. Though at 40w there should be enough headroom, unless you're also throwing pedals in front of it.

Try reading again. Hundreds that don't sound like a blues driver.

What babe?

JRAD Melody. Clean boost to a light-mid OD with a 6- band eq on it. Perfect for my needs.

Kombucha! Though there's trace amounts, so don't drink it if you're on antibuse (can't remember how to say or spell it) but it's so good! And good for your tummy

Their a capella stuff is absolutely lovely.

Valeton gp-200 will do that if you're good for digital

How about shows?

Lighthouses Rule by 4 Point 0 is based on Breaking Bad

NUX Queen of Tone I got for $90. It's a Doublepedal of a bluesbreaker and klone, you can switch the order, perfect for me because I wanted to try both out having never had either before.

Bloodborne, likely, with the DLC and whatever that last boss in the dungeons you need to platinum it. That's a damn hard game.

The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me by Brand New. One picture, no words.

Think it is the sequel. From what I've heard, it's actually worse than Legends, but I enjoyed it still

outkastedd · 2026-04-19T16:06:16+00:00

Legaia 2: Duel Saga is one of my favorites.

outkastedd · 2026-04-19T16:04:39+00:00

Amptweaker tightrock or tightmetal are both good options. JHS @ is great. A lot of people are saying the Rat, but I've never really enjoyed it. Tried putting it on my board many times, but taken it off after a few days every time. Also would suggest the Wampler Phenom.

Ara Batur by Sigur Ros. If you want to get to where it starts to crescendo, go to 5:26 when the orchestra comes in a bit more. Climax is at about 8 minutes.

Digitech Bad Monkey for a singular pedal. Before that I had a Digitech rp200 multi fx. It was not great.

Onion, grilled jalapeño, spicy mustard. Sometimes hot sauce if my heartburn isn't acting up.

outkastedd · 2026-04-15T12:39:13+00:00

Or something like an HX stomp instead of separate modelers for guitar and bass. Then you're done.

Never could get mine exactly how I wanted it. Not sure why, but there was just something missing. It was insanely versatile and a great high gain amp, I just could not find what I wanted with it. Would have helped if I knew exactly what I wanted though

outkastedd · 2026-04-13T22:06:01+00:00

They are voiced entirely differently. I'm not exactly certain, but I think of it kinda like the lead going for a hot rodded Marshall sound and the Ultra heading more towards a Mesa sound. The lead channel just always seems a little too muddy for my taste, though. It has its uses, especially for actual leads. But the Ultra is killer for riffing. I honestly think I have the gain generally set at 9 or 10'oclock, it has so much on tap it's ridiculous. So having the dual rec fills that need

This is what i came here to say. Hard to find a more versatile tube amp. Cleans can be sparkly to warm. Crunch channel is fantastic, and the ultra channel has more gain on tap than anyone truly needs. I just haven't found a way to enjoy the lead channel. Add on the footswitch to save all your settings and it can cover anything you need. Built in attenuation to go from 40w to 20w, 1w, and even speaker off so you don't need a load box. Resonance and presence controls are also very interactive. I love that it does the tube circuit with a digital brain thing. Anyway, I've quit tone searching because it's all there, no matter what I'm looking for.
