- FINDING THAT TONE -
BBlues One
The BBlues One is based on the classic BluesBreaker circuit, enhanced with additional controls for tone shaping, as well as other technical improvements like noise filter, more volume, soft switching and true bypass. Designed with inspiration from John Mayer’s almost-clean tones on the Continuum era, it aims to deliver that deep, bell-like sound, while also providing a wide range of other tones. Whether you’re looking for that signature tone or need versatility for various backlines, the BBlues One has you covered.

Our take of the classic BluesBreaker circuit
Not too long ago, we introduced the first version of the BBlues One (the mk1 or 3-knob version), even before Marshall released their reissue of the iconic BluesBreaker pedal. Our initial version aimed to faithfully recreate the legendary circuit—then quite expensive and without an official reissue—embracing both its strengths and its shortcomings. It also featured the ability to switch between the two historic versions of the early and later circuits.
In this new version (the mk2 or 4-knob version), we have completely redesigned the BluesBreaker circuit to address the original pedal’s “flaws” from the 90s and added new controls to enhance its versatility. Despite these upgrades, the BBlues One retains the soul and original tones of the classic design.
John Mayer and Continuum tones (our inspiration)...
If you’re familiar with us, you know we’re big fans of John Mayer and his Continuum album, celebrated for its tones from Two Rock amps, the Black One Strat, and the Marshall BluesBreaker pedal. For many, these tones represent a pinnacle of guitar sound.
We’re talking about those almost-clean, bell-like tones—simple yet challenging to achieve. The BluesBreaker pedal can deliver that signature Gravity tone, but achieving it can be tricky with variables like pickup aggressiveness or amp brightness. We believe you’ll need more than just three knobs to nail it.
... and much more.
Not a fan of Mayer? Don’t worry! While Mayer’s tones inspired the design, the BBlues One offers a wide range of sounds and applications. Whether you need super bright and sharp tones or rich, dark, and full-bodied sounds, this pedal will serve you well. It’s versatile enough to please even bass players!
Specs
As noted, we have fully redesigned the BluesBreaker circuit. Here’s what’s new:
Noise Filter & True Bypass: We’ve improved the noise filter and added a true bypass soft switching system, ensuring your base tone remains intact.
Voltage Input: You can connect the BBlues One with either 9V or 18V DC. While the differences are subtle, running it at 18V DC provides additional headroom.
Volume Control: The BBlues One features a new VOLUME system that offers ample volume, even functioning as a booster. At 12:00, you get the unit’s base volume, with additional headroom for boosting your amp or other pedals.
- Presence Knob: This new control enhances high frequencies, allowing you to fine-tune your EQ with the native TONE knob and three toggle switches. At 0%, PRESENCE is set to the stock BluesBreaker sound.
- BRIGHT Switch: Formerly known as EARLY/LATER, this switch now labeled BRIGHT offers:
- EARLY (down): Emulates the early ’90s BluesBreaker mk1 units, delivering a sweeter, less aggressive tone with reduced brightness and gain. Ideal for Mayer-style clean tones.
- LATER (up): Reflects the mid-’90s modification for a brighter, more aggressive tone with increased punch and gain.
- SMOOTH Switch: This new switch adjusts the signal clipping, resulting in a rounder wave with softened high frequencies.
- Off (down): Stock BluesBreaker sound.
- On (up): Produces a more velvety tone with enhanced mids.
- DEEP Switch: Modifies the feedback filter to increase low frequencies, giving your amp a bigger, deeper sound.
- Off (down): Stock BluesBreaker sound.
- On (up): Adds depth to the tone.
Dimensions: 95 x 125 x 55 mm.
