This versatile overdrive pedal offers a wide range of tones, from low-gain rhythm sounds to high-gain Marshall-style distortion. It features independent controls for each overdrive type, multiple routing options, and a mode selector for various combinations. Its compact design makes it easy to switch between circuits or use it like a 3-channel amp.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of BOSS compact pedals, BOSS and JHS Pedals have come together in a historic creative collaboration between the two industry leaders. Housed in the classic BOSS compact design, the JB-2 Angry Driver pairs the tones of the iconic BOSS BD-2 Blues Driver with JHS Pedals’ popular Angry Charlie. Working closely together, the two pedal innovators have developed an all-new combined circuit with refined sound and performance perfectly tuned for dual-mode drive operation.
The JB-2 Angry Driver features three dual-concentric knobs that provide independent drive, tone, and level control for each overdrive type. Via a six-position mode selector, you can use each overdrive independently or combine them in series and parallel configurations. With the ability to blend the Blues Driver’s famously expressive low-to-mid gain tones with the Angry Charlie’s aggressive rock voice in any combination, the JB-2 Angry Driver delivers unmatched range and versatility from a single overdrive pedal.
Guitarists found the JB-2 Angry Driver to be a great sounding and extremely versatile pedal, offering superb tones in every mode. Users praised its ability to deliver a wide range of usable sounds and exceptional performance.
