Description

The Foxcatcher V2 from CopperSound Pedals is a flexible, Bluesbreaker inspired overdrive designed to sit confidently in a guitarist or bassist’s signal chain as a dynamic source of drive, texture and punch. It builds on the well loved original CopperSound Pedals Foxcatcher and expands it into something far more adaptable, thanks to its three gain modes, three low end shaping options and a refined tone section. The result is an overdrive that feels familiar yet noticeably more capable, offering a wide palette of tones that suit everything from subtle lift to full bodied drive.

Tonally, the CopperSound Pedals Foxcatcher V2 ranges from open, touch responsive low gain to thick, articulate distortion, all while retaining the feel of the Bluesbreaker circuit at its core. In Low Gain mode, it provides a clean foundation, adding warmth and a gentle push without stealing the character of your guitar or bass. Medium Gain brings out richer harmonics and a satisfying crunch that works well for rhythm work and fluid leads. High Gain ventures into more assertive territory than previous versions of the CopperSound Pedals Foxcatcher ever offered, delivering saturated drive with clear note separation. The expanded tone control has a wider sweep than before, giving players everything from bright, upper mid clarity that cuts through a full band to darker, smoother tones that round off sharp edges without turning muddy. The Shape toggle adds another layer, letting you tighten or broaden the low end depending on the mix, amp and pickups you’re working with.

It feels immediate, reactive and rewarding under the fingers. The CopperSound Pedals Foxcatcher V2 responds easily to pick attack and guitar volume changes, moving from cleaner dynamics to grittier textures with a natural ease. Set at medium gain with the Shape centred and Tone around the middle, the pedal has a lively, expressive feel that encourages both rhythmic confidence and melodic playing. The SMART Bypass system adds a practical edge: hold the switch for momentary bursts of drive or tap it for standard engagement, making it just as useful for short accents as it is for always on warmth. Whether riding a clean amp or stacking into another drive, the pedal keeps its control and responsiveness intact.

Its controls are straightforward yet wide ranging. The Gain toggle lets you choose between Low, Medium and High gain structures without the usual compromises, offering three genuinely distinct responses. The Shape toggle selects between three degrees of bass content, from tightened low end to fuller, rounded weight. The Tone knob has been redesigned for greater precision when shaping brightness and depth, and the Level control provides plenty of headroom for pushing the front of an amp or blending with other pedals. Each setting feels practical rather than fiddly, giving players room to shape their sound without getting lost in the details.

Inside, the CopperSound Pedals Foxcatcher V2 features an enhanced take on a Bluesbreaker style circuit, with a redesigned tone network and refined filtering for clarity, responsiveness and increased range. The SMART Bypass relay system ensures true bypass operation with a fail safe that defaults to clean signal if power is lost, a thoughtful touch for gigging musicians. Internal dip switches allow players to choose whether the pedal powers up engaged or bypassed, making it friendly for looper based rigs and switcher setups. Running at 9 or 18V gives users the option of more headroom and punch at higher voltages, adding further versatility.

The metal enclosure is compact, strong and ready for the demands of touring. Top mounted jacks keep cable runs tidy and pedalboards clean, while the DC input is positioned for straightforward routing with standard power supplies. The LED indicator gives clear visibility of the pedal’s state, and the footswitch has a soft but confident feel underfoot, suitable for both momentary and latching use.

Visually, the Foxcatcher V2 has a clean, understated design that reflects CopperSound’s practical approach. The graphics are clear and unfussy, with legible controls and toggles that make sense at a glance, even on a dim stage. It brings character without shouting for attention, the sort of pedal that looks at home on just about any board.

CopperSound Pedals offer a dependable warranty, reassuring players that the Foxcatcher V2 is built to last. Whether you’re using it in the studio, at rehearsal or on the road, support is available should you ever need it.

In summary, the CopperSound Pedals Foxcatcher V2 is rich where it counts, bold when asked, and versatile enough to cover a wide span of musical roles. It balances subtle texture with confident drive, clarity with punch, and classic character with modern flexibility. Whether you’re shaping warm rhythm layers, carving out expressive lead tones or looking for a reliable drive that adapts to the moment, the CopperSound Pedals Foxcatcher V2 delivers with confidence and plenty of flavour.
