Baby Blue OD

[MBT74]

does this one have an ac tap on top ?

Thanks for the translation.

Yes. AC tap is at the top of the pedal.

At what point in the run does V1 stop and V2 start?

Here's the story, also here at the site. I happen to own this one, my first BJF pedal, but it was accidental.

"As a result of the work that he did on #209, #210 and #211, BJ thought that the BBOD sounded better with the low impedance output and therefore from BBOD #212 onwards all BBODs have the low impedance modification. From #219 onwards BJ also increased the output by 6dB and hence the V2 circuit change was complete."

Thanks cedjazz. So now it gets complicated. I play mostly low output single coils with both Fender BF and Marshall voiced amps together. Volume isn't an issue and usually have the amps just below break point. Would a V1 or V2 be any better for this? Cheers

Well I am not much of a Marshall amplifier buff. As a matter of fact I have never owned a marshall. This pedal, however, sounds absolutely killer through any fender style amplifier. I have a Reverevd hellhound and the music man RD amplifier. The baby blue overdrive sounds great through both of these apps. For Marshall style sounds, I would recommend the Dyna red distortion or the mighty red distortion, Both of which I own.

Hope that helps

I usually play low output Fender's through Marshall's as well and between the BBOD and DRD, I stuck with the DRD. To me they were pretty similar but the DRD sounded better with what I was using.

Just got done with a little home jam with the BBOD playing back and forth between 9v-12v and then amp OD. Such an incredibly good sounding pedal and remarkable how much it sounds and behaves like a REALLY good tube amp. Love this pedal

That's my experience also. The BBOD behaves exactly like my amp when it hit it with a good boost pedal. Perfect combination - use the boost for when I want more volume plus more amp drive. Use the BBOD when I want the same type of drive but with constant volume level.

Or just combine it all. Klon clone > BBOD > Tym Tatanka Boost.
