A Bluesbreaker Reborn for the Modern Board
The CopperSound Foxcatcher V2 overdrive takes the award-winning, Bluesbreaker-style circuit players already loved and rebuilds it into a far more flexible dirt box. Where the original was a single, beautifully voiced drive, V2 hands you three distinct gain structures and three low-end shapes — so one compact pedal can move from a whisper of clean-amp warmth to articulate, saturated crunch without ever losing its touch-sensitive soul.
Plug in and the Foxcatcher V2 still feels like that classic transparent overdrive — open, dynamic, and responsive to your pick attack and guitar volume. But now the voicing bends to your rig instead of the other way around. The redesigned tone network has a wider, more refined sweep, taking you from bright, chimey cut to warm and rounded without turning muddy or harsh.
How It Fits Your Rig
Set the Gain toggle to Low for an always-on tone sweetener that adds clarity and gentle breakup in front of a clean amp. Flip to Medium for classic-rock rhythm and singing leads, or kick it to High when you want genuine saturation with the note definition still intact. The Shape toggle then dials the bass content — tighten it up for punchy, modern chug or let it bloom for a fatter vintage feel — which makes matching single-coils, P-90s, or humbuckers across different amps almost effortless. Run it at 18V for extra headroom and punch when your board has the juice.

FAQ
Does the Foxcatcher V2 have a boost channel like the original?
No — V2 is a streamlined, single-footswitch overdrive in a more compact enclosure. CopperSound dropped the boost section and put that space toward expanded gain and tone-shaping options instead.
Can I run it at 18 volts?
Yes. It operates on 9–18V DC (center-negative), and 18V gives you extra headroom, clarity, and punch.
What do the three gain modes cover?
Low is touch-sensitive, near-clean breakup; Medium is classic overdrive saturation for rhythm and leads; High pushes into articulate, higher-gain distortion.
Is it true bypass?
Yes — the SMART Bypass system is relay-based true bypass, with both momentary and latching footswitch action and a fail-safe that keeps your signal alive if power drops.
