The Coppersound Foxcatcher V2 is an update to the company's Bluesbreaker-style overdrive pedal, CopperSound says. The maker's product page lists it at $249.00 and states, "Unfortunately this is sold out," with an email signup for restock notices1. Guitar Pedal X reported on Oct. 13, 2025 that the pedal was on pre-order at a launch price of $229, down from $249, with shipping to begin at the end of that month2. The Delicious Audio item on the V2 is dated Dec. 5, 20253.

CopperSound describes the circuit as "Rooted in the celebrated Bluesbreaker circuit"1. The gain switch offers Low, Medium and High modes; the maker says Low delivers the character of the original Bluesbreaker circuit, Medium adds saturation, and High provides more gain than any previous Foxcatcher1. A three-way Shape switch controls bass content in the overdriven signal, and the Tone knob has a wider sweep with high-pass filtering1. Guitar Pedal X lists the controls as Gain (Structure): High / Medium / Low, Drive, Shape (Bass): Some / Least / Most, Volume and Tone, and notes the V2 drops the V1's Boost and Nature controls2.

The V2 uses what CopperSound calls SMART Bypass, a relay-based true bypass with latching and momentary operation, a fail-safe that reverts to bypass if power is lost, and an internal dip switch that sets the power-up state for use with loopers and switchers1.

Delicious Audio's item attributes the pedal to "Wampler Pedals" and calls it "an evolution of their very well-regarded Bluesbreaker-style circuit"3; the product page it links to is CopperSound's1. The same article recounts that the original Foxcatcher, a 2-in-1 overdrive and boost, received a Premier Gear award from Premier Guitar in 20173.
