Blues Breaker Style Overdrive Pedals

Bluesbreaker style pedals unlock classic, transparent overdrive that gives a clean amp the perfect extra push to the edge of breakup but without much change to the colour of your tone. Used for crafting a nuanced, vintage character or as a boost for soloing, these pedals add just the right amount of gain for some extra warmth and sustain, without the midrange hump of a Tube Screamer. 
The first bluesbreaker pedal was designed to emulate the sound of a Marshall ‘Bluesbreaker’ amp, made famous by Eric Clapton. The pedals that followed have become known for their moderate gain, responsiveness and subtly warm, bluesy flavour. This allows for soft clipping to give a clean signal a bit of extra bite whilst still remaining relatively transparent.
Ideal for players of a variety of styles, from classic rock to jazz, pop and everything in between, blues breaker style pedals can be a versatile addition to your pedalboard. 
There are plenty of great options available from trusted bands like Tone City, Browne Amplification and Electro Harmonix, who offer a range of models designed around the blues breaker style. Of course, if authenticity is what you’re after, we also have Marshall’s reissued Bluesbreaker pedal with the same electrical circuitry as their iconic original.
