That was the first appearance of Boss’s “discrete op-amp” circuit topology that uses two JFETs and a PNP transistor to create a variable gain stage that can be controlled like an op-amp but clips gracefully when overdriven. The Blues Driver bears many similarities to the OD-2 Turbo Overdrive from 1988. It’s been used by a wide variety of artists including Mike McCready (Pearl Jam), Robert Smith (The Cure), Tom Morello, and even Prince. The Sapphire Amp Overdrive is based on the BOSS® BD-2 Blues Driver, one of their most popular pedals in continuous production since it was first released in 1995.
