Biffy Clyro's Simon Neil to release 2.0 version of signature guitar pedal BOOOOOM / BLAST
Simon Neil of Biffy Clyro has announced BOOOOOM / BLAST 2.0, a new version of last year's signature guitar pedal.
In November 2020, the Biffy Clyro frontman announced his first, and very limited signature guitar pedal BOOOOOM / BLAST, and today (25 November) a 2.0 version of the pedal has been announced.
A press release states that the 2.0 version has the same design and specs as the original. Each pedal will be signed and painted by Neil, and instead of havinng a blue painted strip like the original, the 2.0 version will include a peach strip. Each pedal will also come with a handwritten thank you note from Neil.
“Capable of staggeringly loud output levels if required… anyone looking for a unique-sounding drive and fuzz pedal that’s endlessly creative and enormous fun should check out the Booooom / Blast.” 9/10 – https://t.co/38ugW0zqYv pic.twitter.com/x0wDoI8NwC

Neil said of the pedal, "It’s the pedal that I’ve been looking for most of my life. We’ve taken our time to ensure that it’s everything it can be. It’s been a real labour of love."
Guitar tech Richard "Churd" Pratt added, "The aim was to capture Simon’s sound in a box, so anyone can play guitar and sound like him. It was much easier said than done! It’s one of the most transparent loud overdrive pedals on the market. With so many distortion pedals you get loads of fuzz and saturation, but with this the guitar still breathes. You still hear all the notes but with the extra weight and overdrive."
