Product Information

We’re very excited to collaborate with BOSS, one of our heroes, with the JB-2,” Josh relates. “I've said for years and years that BOSS pedals are my favorite pedals. For JHS to jump into the story of what BOSS has done for 40 years is a real honor, and really beyond anything I would have ever imagined.” For several years, we have been continuing to take on new challenges with the keyword “Breakthrough,” Yoshi said. “I think it's very refreshing and thought-provoking for our engineers to work with such an up-and-coming company and get inspired.” A Diverse Range of Drive Sounds in a Compact Footprint These figures will vary depending on the actual conditions of use.

To experience working on a product with a company that has done this thing so well for so long has been really inspiring,” Josh continues. It’s just amazing to see such talented people that love what they do.” Josh is very pleased with the way the JB-2 turned out, saying, “I am 150-percent satisfied.

I have already set my sights on acquiring a Mega Distortion, Metal Core and Waza Craft Metal Zone, and would also quite like to snap up a Digital Metalizer and Xtortion at some stage if I ever find suitable candidates. 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. Versatility is at the core of the JB-2’s design, so you can enjoy all types of overdrive sounds, taking you from just a little gain to some really soaring high levels, all with low noise performance. Six Different ModesBOSS pedals are no doubt one of the most well-known guitar pedal companies out there, their legacy needs no introduction, their lineage of instantly recognisable pedals, sounds and familiar consistent quality have made them one of the go to choices for all levels of Guitarist. Its no doubt that BOSS has influenced many other budding pedal companies over the years in their choices of effects and approach to design. One particular person they influenced was a dude by the name Josh Scott, Josh of course is the brain power behind the awesome pedal brand JHS pedals. He has been making some fantastic pedals for many years now which are incredibly popular with many professional players. Josh has a YouTube channel in which he talks about the history of pedals, brings in pedals from different brands and talks about their influence on Guitar Players and his own pedals as well. One video he has done on his YouTube channel is about how much of a ‘Fanboy’ of BOSS pedals he is. So to see that JHS has had a chance to hook up with Guitar Pedal Giant JHS is truly heart-warming and of course well deserved. To get just an average tolerable sound out of this pedal is like trying to solve an aerobics cube blindfolded. It's as if I'm in a toxic relationship with a beautiful person who keeps hissing at me no matter what I do. Every button I push to fix the problem just adds to another one. Like it's mad at me for no reason. And after a session of fighting with this thing and trying to play it out, I have that throbbing ache right between the eyes. Allowing you to really customise your overdrive sound, the Boss JB-2 features independent LEVEL, GAIN and TONE controls.

So that you can seamlessly integrate the JB-2 Angry with your rig and style of playing, it comes with six different modes for you to choose from:With this mode, you can turn the JB-2 on or off with the standard pedal, engaging the BD-2 circuitry while adding a remote switch allows you to switch between the Angry Charlie and Blues Driver circuits. The impressive new Boss/JHS JB-2 Angry Driver overdrive and distortion pedal is a celebration of several things simultaneously: It heralds Boss’ 40-year anniversary in the compact pedal business, the friendship between Boss president Yoshi Ikegami and JHS founder Josh Scott, and the success of the Boss Blues Driver and JHS Angry Charlie in their respective niches. The collaborative effort between the Japanese and American companies effectively combines the Blues Driver overdrive and Angry Charlie distortion in a single pedal that’s ridiculously versatile for its size and capable of many cool variations of the two original circuits. Boasting a powerful 3-band EQ section, this pedal is also very versatile, letting you adapt it easily for dark or bright-sounding amplifiers. With a wide range of gain on tap, the Angry Charlie can go from Hendrix-esque crunch to searing metal tones.

Boss JB-2 Angry Driver, a new dual circuit overdrive pedal combining two legendary guitar pedals in one. Two Incredible Overdrive Pedals in One When this plan came up, we used the ES-8 Effects switching system to try numerous combinations of our pedals with the JHS Angry Charlie,” Yoshi relates. “I thought a combination allowing each pedal to complement the other would be interesting to try. The sound of the Angry Charlie is exactly what BOSS didn't have.”With more than a decade's worth of pedal building know-how, JHS has a strong and varied lineup. But there’s definitely one pedal that can be classed as its flagship product... JHS Angry Charlie
