Buzzing Bugs Introduces the BB04 Full Range Drive Pedal

Buzzing Bugs Introduces the BB04 Full Range Drive Pedal

Featuring four op-amp gain stages, this pedal delivers expansive headroom, while the softclipping saturates the signal without aggressively compressing it.


Buzzing Bugs Audio Devices, one of the UK’s most exciting new pedal brands has introduced the BB04 Full Range Drive, a saturated and non-transparent overdrive pedal inspired by the essence of two iconic "blues" pedals.

What sets the BB04 apart is its unique BODY switch which provides a shift in EQ parameters. Switch between thicker or thinner tones, while also providing a perceived gain and volume boost when engaged.

But what truly earns the moniker "Full Range" is the pedal's versatility. With the BODY switch, you have two distinct ranges of TONE and GAIN at your fingertips, depending on which side of the pedal you use, each offering a spectrum of overdrive flavors. From an edge-of-breakup clean, to tube-driven distortion, the dynamic interaction between the GAIN, TONE, and BODY controls offers you a full range of tones.

As with all Buzzing Bugs Audio Devices pedals, the BB04 Full Range Drive comes housed in a robust diecast enclosure adorned with unique tactile gloss artwork, marrying style with durability.

JHS makes many great and varied overdrive stomps. Their Pack Rat is a staple on one of my boards, and I can personally attest to the quality of their builds. The new Hard Drive has been in the works since as far back as 2016, when Josh Scott and his staff were finishing off workdays by jamming on ’90s hard rock riffs.
