Hi guys,

I've search the forum already for topics relating to this, but nothing that answers my questions.

My brother plays guitar and has tons of pedals. He gave me a Boss Blues Driver to use. Currently my amp is stuffed, so I can't try it out. He needs to sell it asap and I have no way of testing it till the end of the week. It has been modded with an extra bottom end boost mod. Is this pedal worth buying?

"Is this pedal worth buying?"

The only way to answer that is plug in your mic to the pedal, plug in your pedal to the amp and start playing.

If it gives you a sound that you want then is OK.

If you can get a good sound, but not good volume, then is not a good pedal, unlees you want to play only in your house, in that case is Ok.

Hope it helps.

That bottom end boost looks pretty intriguing! Some people don't like what the sound of an overdrive pedal does to the harmonica. Some might say if you have the right mic and the right amp you wouldn't need a pedal like that.

But maybe it will give you the sound you have been searching for! Or send you on the path to an entirely new tone. Even with some of the settings dialed way back that bottom end boost might give you a little extra edge going into your amp. It might allow you to play softer and to not have to worry as much about holding the perfect cup on the mic. Just a thought...

If you're not into it I might be! lol how much is he asking for it???

can you make a video of you playing whit that pedal? I want to hear that bottom end boost.

$35 is a good deal.

Good luck!

I find that pedal useful for some amp mic combinations.
They go for twice that price in my area.
