BLAMMO! Electronics - Blues Blaster

The BLAMMO! Electronics Blues Blaster is a modern take on the ‘91 Bluesbreaker pedal which as you know, reflects the creamy, dynamic tube amp tones heard on John Mayall’s classic album from the late 60s. The beauty of this once underrated and now coveted overdrive is its ability to blend seamlessly with any amp by using soft-clipping and a fairly neutral midrange curve when compared to a screamer-style drive. The stock mode preserves all the low-gain, dirty boost characteristics not to mention the ability to tighten your amp’s low-end. But with a press of the stealthy MOD switch, you’ll blast smooth jazz/sob rockers into Shredmaster territory with a gamut of high-gain offerings brought on by silicon diodes. The gain stage in this hard clipping distortion mode has been been carefully tuned to preserve a high output level and best of all, Blammo has added an output buffer to give the Blues Blaster a much more agreeable low output impedance for better stackability with other pedal.

I bought one based on this demo. Thanks Andy! It’s a killer BB pedal - does all the things the originals do. I might never play my Strat again without this pedal on - firms up the mids and slightly rolls off the top while preserving all the desirable character of the Strat.

Dang, I didn't have much interest in this till I heard you playing it, especially knowing it's a circuit dear to your heart. This thing sounds a lot smoother and less forced than the new Browne Carbon does-which has a strange, exaggerated EQ curve, lots of lows, lots of highs, not much meat on the bones. This thing sounds full and warm and like it'd be a joy to play. It's been a while since a proper 'Andy Strikes! (my bank account) moment. ORDERED! totally reasonable price too, especially in 2022. thanx again as always for your work and passion.

Already have a Blues Breaker type pedal on my board, but I'm glad I tuned in just for the Bastille Day excerpt.

[mattgilbert]

Sounds phenomenal. Anything Bluesbreaker inspired is gonna sucker me in (and why not!) but this one is something special. Great stuff Andy & Blammo!

[clemguitar]

Now go and look at what MARSHALL has finally gone and done!
Yet, I very HAPPY with my BLAMMO ELECTRONICS 'BLUS BLASTER'!!!
Thank You!

[MatthewTomich]

Awesome reference to Rush "Bastille Day"! Andy is the human jukebox.

[goppledanger]

Great note clarity. I had my eyes on the Keeley Phat Mod, but this just pulled into first place. Priced right as well.

[vautrain]

So good as always, Andy! Your demos are the best.

[OgamiItto]

Nice-sounding pedal. Nice playing, too.
I like how you get a "rude-and-raunchy" switch on it.

[JoeNavy]

This sounds great. I bought the Browne Carbon when it came out and absolutely love it. Gonna have to check this one out though.

[nicksregor]

I was just wearing my Acorn Amps shirt today!! haha Love this pedal!!

[boddumblues]

Great job Blammo and Andy! Been rocking BB1s since they came out, stacked them with Carl Martin Hot drive'n'Boost mk. 2 for a great variety of drive tones ;-) Now there's an economical alternative!

[MRxr]

that sounds amazing. love the riffage too

[SaturnSevenBand]

Nice gritty creamy tones, sweet pedal ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Kymantheguyman]

Bastille day from rush very nice 👍
Love caress of steel

[kirabarsmith]

A little "Bastille Day" by Rush, nice. Blammo makes some cool stuff, might have to pick this one up.

[thechord]

Now we just need them to make a Shred Blaster!

[dragan]

Nice sounding tones especially with the LesPaul! Thanks for sharing Andy!

[leftturnlarry]

Wow. Great as always. And from your hometown. Gotta get one of these. You make me want to ditch the pick

[edadpops]

Thanks for breaking out the Beetle Kill guitar 👏👏
