Boss Pedal JB-2 Angry Driver Overdrive Distortion
Pedal developed by Boss and JHS Pedals to commemorate their 40 year anniversary in the industry. This pedal offers a high range of sounds by combining Boss BD-2 Blues Driver and JHS Pedals Angry Charlie. Using the independent controls you can personalize the overdrive to your liking.
The BOSS JB-2 Angry Driver is the two-in-one overdrive pedal every guitarist has been waiting for: the Blues Driver sound with the voice of JHS's Angry Charlie.
The BOSS JB-2 Angry Driver is a high-quality overdrive pedal that combines the sounds of BOSS's BD-2 Blues Driver and JHS Pedals' Angry Charlie. With a huge range of overdrive sounds, from smooth boost to loud distortion, the JB-2 Angry Driver can be used in a variety of creative ways, including single-hand operation, series stacking, and parallel operation.
The JB-2 has two independent overdrive types, each with individual drive controls that can be switched at the touch of a button: one is the Blues Driver, a lower gain overdrive type ideal for a smooth boost or a light overdrive; the other is Angry Charlie, a higher-gain type of overdrive ideal for loud, aggressive distortion.
They can also be used in series, in the order BOSS - JHS or JHS BOSS, or use both signals simultaneously for a new type of highly configurable and powerful overdrive, creating a unique sound.
The JB-2 also has a jack input for remote control of pedal and bypass modes via an external pedal or footswitch.
For over 40 years, BOSS has produced the most iconic models of pedals that have shaped the sound of some of the most important artists of the last few decades. All its products are recognized for their high resistance and durability, thanks to a solid construction, able to survive the most demanding and intense stage conditions, in a compact and easy to operate format.
JHS is one of the most respected brands of effects pedals. Founded by Joshua Heath Scott in 2007 Jackson, Mississippi, JHS started with Scott repairing and modifying his own pedals. In 2011 JHS released the Panther analog delay, the SuperBolt overdrive and, in 2012, the JHS Prestige. In 2015, JHS collaborated with Keeley Electronics to produce a combination compressor and overdrive pedal, the Steak and Eggs.
Scott and Nick Loux are authors of The JHS Show, a vlog about the history of guitar pedals, products and inventors; Scott is described as "the Bill Nye the Science Guy meets the Mister Rogers of guitar".
The BOSS JB-2 Angry Driver is perfect for guitarists looking for a versatile and creative overdrive pedal with high-quality overdrive. It can be used in all styles that need a little more gain, from Rock to Blues, from Metal to Pop, to Jazz and other styles.
It's more than two pedals in one: it's a whole new universe of overdrive at your disposal.
