Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The JB-2 is a clever little box. It’s like Boss took the best bits of their Blues Driver and blended it with the snarling character of a JHS Angry Charlie – giving you a surprisingly versatile overdrive with a wide range of tones. It’s a great option for players wanting a single pedal to cover everything from subtle boost to crunchy rhythm tones.
