The BSQ Effects Bulls On BO2 is a bass pedal that puts an overdrive and a compressor in one box. RockBoard's PedalPedia describes it as combining "ultra-versatile saturation" with a "full-featured professional compressor," and says it was designed to work for any bass player and any style1. It sits in the territory covered by bass pedals, alongside dedicated compressor pedals and overdrive pedals.
What it does
The two circuits work together: the compressor evens out the signal, and the overdrive adds saturation on top. RockBoard's PedalPedia says the heart of the pedal was developed "to respond to both the most subtle playing and the most furious slap," covering a range from a rounded sound to sharp, aggressive distortion1.
The pedal's blend control balances the direct signal with the processed signal. RockBoard's PedalPedia calls this control "indispensable," which reflects a common concern for bass players: keeping low end and definition in the clean signal while the driven part sits on top of it1.
Power and circuit
The Bulls On BO2 is an analog circuit and runs on 9V DC, center negative, drawing 5.5 mA1. That current draw is low enough to sit comfortably on a pedalboard power supply without worrying about headroom.
