The JHS x BOSS Collaboration (BOSS JB-2 Angry Driver)

[@oysterpig]

As I was watching the first jam part, my daughter leaned in and said “Whoa! Whoever is playing right now is SICK!” She’s seven and “sick” is her favorite new word. It’s fun in our house.

[@christopherhansford6876]

Fully sick

[@bwrinn8]

So Sick!

[@Rwtheking]

It’s a pretty sick word. Some might even call it Ill

[@IamtheFerryMan]

My 5 year old says sick all the time too 😀 he also says he's a hacker genius. 🤣

[@ousley421]

like covid sick?

[@jeffreyhall76]

Do you know how crazy it is to go from modding pedals in a shed to collaborating with Boss. Amazing JHS just amazing

[@neilslade]

the drummer is on FIRE here--- first time I've heard him play like this.

[@michaelmattson3515]

Ya he’s not boom tap. He’s opening up.

[@sc3ku]

he’s the new and improved “JHS Angry Drummer”

[@teroblacknight]

Nick is just so good at everything. And the mood of the drums matches the tone so well.

[@nine9whitepony526]

You're right

[@magnuspauli]

True!

[@poxcr]

Josh is an insanely tasteful guitarist. These short jams are always a joy to listen to!

[@christopherhansford6876]

That was my reaction too during the 2nd jam in particular.

[@sub-jec-tiv]

I wish they’d make an album!!

[@kentl7228]

It's better than listening to Rob Chapman)) I like shredding but...

[@matthewgurlitz3514]

He is absolutely one of my favorite guitarists. His playing is always inventive, surprising, and often just blistering. Josh kicks keister. I know he has no time, but that guy should really have a band. 😂

A few months ago I woke up with the JHS intro song stuck in my head. I could just not place it. It was driving me mad. It's a banger. I hummed it to friends and family for help. No one could place it. Today, I can finally rest.

[@jhspedals]

Thank you!

[@alangreenway6695]

I love the parallel mode on the JB-2. It got me thinking and I set up a split signal on chain with a volume pedal on one side that allows you to mix an effect into your basic sound. Using it with an overdrive gives you a real time variable distortion for emphasising certain sections.

[@hairychris444]

Gigrig have something that does this called the Wetter Box. You can use an expression pedal to control the mix. I have one, it's a cool utility. Not the cheapest solution but built like a tank!

[@brendancleary9490]

Ooh i have everything needed to try this out, im gunna have to see how i like it for my rig. I do have the original pigtronix disnortion that has fuzz and overdrive in parallel(or you can turn the gain all the way down on either to make them boosts) and they really sound great in parallel and definitely fills out the sound really nicely

[@spentron1]

I would have liked to see him do something more different with it.

[@jackodonnell3463]

Christmas lights have actually been wired in parallel for decades now. That’s why they get brighter as the bulbs die rather than going out after the first one. Great video and pedal

[@superspit]

Think he's just making a descriptive point.

[@jackodonnell3463]

​@@superspit If he's trying to make a relatable point, anyone under 30 won't have ever experienced what he's describing

[@wokeupinapanic]

@@jackodonnell3463 that’s like saying going 🤙 to pretend you’re on a phonecall is “unrelatable” because younger kids don’t do that. It’s not a universal thing, but in this day and age, nothing is. Dude’s coming from his own experience, and honestly, it’s a classic example that’s always used. And they do still sell cheap sets that go out when one bulb goes out. And honestly, give young people *some* credit. I’m pretty sure they’ve seen Xmas movies that are older than they are. And some of them probably grew up with older sets that their parents or grandparents had. Xmas lights are a trope that are constantly referenced when talking about series v parallel wiring. You’re just being pedantic for the sake of your own ego or something.

[@jackodonnell3463]

@@wokeupinapanic Oh I admit this is 100% pedantic.

[@BrandonSorianoMusic]

I’ve been using the Angry Driver for the last 6 months or so and I love it. I’m putting together a nano+ board right now and having so many options in a single pedal is a huge space saver on a small board!

[@Mini1124]

I was just searching for a demo video of yours for this the other day, glad it’s finally here! Also picked up a 3 series Chorus this week, what an excellent pedal.

[@RichieCastellano]

I have an SD2! That turns a fender amp into a 3 channel rig. I always wondered why it wasn’t more popular.

[@unfinishedBridges]

The JB-2 is such an amazing pedal and the Red Remote pushes it to even greater heights. Never getting rid of mine.

[@zachmiller4575]

Just picked up one of these recently and ended up selling all my other drives it just sounds so great and is so versatile and small i love it!

[@Aidan.w]

Thought you did another one for a second there XD Always been interested in this pedal though, the angry charlie is one of those dream distortions to have, while the blue driver is a classic that I've still never tried myself. Plus its about half the price of getting both separately.

[@EversonBernardes]

Been 5 years, time to do the sequel.

[@michaeltaylors2456]

This is not an current 4/5 knob Angry Charlie circuit, he is not going to undercut his own product. But, the bread board PROTO AC circuit together with the BD 2 is a great thing! parallel mode is where it shines

[@user-wv5gv3dw5u]

Hearing you say "2017" followed by "Five Years ago" gave me a fight of flight response. Time is going by wayyy too fast

[@EasyHeat]

Yoshi is such a nice guy, and has never failed to reply back and answer even the most silliest of questions I've sent him. A true legend in his field, and a lover of fine cuisine and wine apparently. Great video Josh! Thanks!

[@jhspedals]

Yoshi is definitely in a league of his own! So wonderful.

[@fivinh0]

holy jesus, blues distortion into angry charlie is completely sick

[@calebmorales6288]

I saw this in an Atlanta shop in October, searched for this exact video which was clearly not out yet, bought it anyway, and now am thrilled to see this video is here to validate my impulse decision 3 months later!

[@MRrockistillalive]

This has been in my board for two years now and it's the best distortion pedal I've had so far. Thanks for the video Josh.

[@ScottGailor]

It was so amazing to watch all the builders at the pedal party (at the bowling alley) so much respect was shown to Yoshi. I’m actually glad I dragged the whole BOSS Namm team to that party.

[@mrblablablabla]

I LOVE this pedal in parallel mode. I fell in love with it all over again when I found a cool setting the other day - bass from the JHS circuit, with some sparkly overdrive on top from the Blues Driver. Such a full sound. Magnifique!

[@RobUttley]

1.000 Punches - woah what a sound. Completely sold right there on the spot.

[@stewartking4822]

I literally bought one of these last week and I absolutely love it! Gives me an amazing, powerful, Marshallesque crunch tone that sits very nicely between my clean tone and high gain channel.

[@angusorvid8840]

This is definitely my next pedal. I have a JHS Andy Timmons and love the Angry Charlie circuit. I also love the old Boss Blues Driver. I tried one of these pedals at my local shop and was extremely impressed. It just checked all the right boxes. Incredible feat of engineering.

[@alivewtwmusic]

I bought a JB-2 a couple of years ago to have both an Angry Charlie and a Blues Driver when needed. At first I did just that, used the Red Remote to switch between the two and was happy. Soon I started experimenting with the series and parralell modes and found I love to push the Blues Driver into the Angry Charlie. So just a great collaboration pedeal. Thanks!

[@jinjxmusic]

Welp... there isn't anyone on the interwebz that makes these pedal demos so fun and gives us game too! Thank you for all you do, Josh.

[@jaybirdgenetics]

The parallel setting sold me!!

[@dinosaursr]

2022 is starting off fine. Great jams dudes.

[@Pancake1166]

I bought this pedal about a year ago on reverb for $120, and somehow it was still unopened. Love this pedal though, it's so versatile!

[@pyratoothNL]

Thanks Josh. I got this in 2018 not long after I seriously started getting back into guitar after some fallow years. This is the most versatile distortion I own. Pedals should inspire and those series and parallel settings give you a wealth of options that are so fun to play with. Thank you.

[@ronvanhee]

the parallel mode takes you to different realms / love it!

[@Neilybob100]

Love my Angry Driver. The remote switch really opens up this amazing pedal!

[@Prettynoise]

Well JHS you did it again. I really dig the demos showing the versatility and tone of all pedals you showcase. Just ordered one of these yesterday . This now brings my JHS collection up to 3. Colourbox v2 and the Artificial Blonde.

[@shorerocks]

Love Nicks groove on the first jam. Yeah. He is definitely on fire after the Christmas vacation.

[@TheBeriking]

The sound on “1000 punches” and “Orion’s Belt Buckle” was just fabulously unbelievable. Had to immediately rewind and listen to these again. I have a feeling in the pit of my stomach it won’t be long before the JB-2 will be a permanent resident next to the Charlie Brown, Double Barrel, and AT+ (not to mention all the others) that are already here… I really thought I was covered on that end. Apparently there is no such thing as “enough overdrives and distortion pedals” when you watch the JHS show. On the other hand, you just *know* the moment I order it there will be a waza JB-2W announced…

[@22ddo]

This is my favorite pedal, no joke. I think the best feature is being able to switch among the two pedals with different settings or stack or series. It's so versatile and there's not a bad sound in it. I would love to see more collaborations between your two.

[@RAM_industrial_death_metal]

I had a friend come from the states and he had among other pedals an angry charlie (v2) and I played around with it, using it in the end as a "booster" pedal and before the main distortion, and the sound was devastating. Fell in love with it after that. Great work man.

[@nosub77]

Great Pedal - even BETTER Mamiya t-shirt!

[@adriangonzalez7850]

Josh’s playing was on another level today man!!!!

[@joshuaromo835]

Got one not long ago and it replaced my Hot Cake. The sound of BD>AC was actually mind blowing and I got it for $100 used. Fantastic job with the JB-2

[@jhspedals]

Thanks!

[@waldiewave]

Very enjoyable episode. I have the Boss JB-2 Angry Driver and love it. It is probably the most versatile overdrive/distortion pedal I have. It has so many different options. You can get anywhere between slight tubey overdrive all the way to full blown insane distortion with this pedal. Much appreciated pedal. Thank you for your involvement with this great pedal. It brings a lot of excitement and joy every time I use it.

[@fadingdestination]

Thank You. I wish I could buy this, but I’m gonna be broke for awhile. I’ll have to continue loving what I’ve got. I really enjoy you guys putting yourselves out into the world. Thx

[@AMTunLimited]

Those drums are sounding particularly PUNCHY today. Awesome work as usual.

[@closedgate]

Never been a fan of the use of "Amazeballs" but when Josh says it, it fits perfectly.

[@CrazedFandango]

I love the Angry Charlie v3 and often use a BD-2 in front of it.

[@squirelova1815]

NO WAY that the Angry Charlie is better than you having your children Josh. They might be the future JHS C.E.O.'s (God willing and with your blessing of course Josh ) if it is worth their time to continue your Superb Legacy of Excellence. If they're as adorable and hilarious as you dear Josh, (and I'll bet they are) we would be in for a major treat! Thank You Sincerely for all of your Extremely thoughtful, Honest and Supremely helpful and educational episodes of much appreciated electronic Artistry.

Damn talk about timing, I just searched up the angry driver and you just happened to upload a video about it lol

[@flatgroundtv7097]

Just purchased the last unit of BOSS Angry Driver JB-2 at my local distributor in Malaysia. I'm just right on time. It will be always in the box for sure. The BOSS 40th Anniversary collection now completed. Thank you for doing your thing. It touches my world. ✊🏽

[@TheTubeDude]

Dear Josh; In my long life I have never fallen in love with a Geek effects pedal maker; until now. Yes, you are the apple of my eye. I am binge watching JHS video presentations. Thanks for all your work in making these presentations. BTW your lil drummer is so cute. lol

[@4stringz.]

This has been my favorite pedal since it came out. And PS…it sounds great on bass too

[@albeitnormal]

Parallel and Angry Charlie are my 2 fav settings though it has great sounds at every turn of the knobs and the options are astounding!

[@fives.]

LITERALLY MY FAVOURITE OVERDRIVE PEDAL EVER I seriously hope the JB-2 stays in perpetual production, it's easily the most versatile BOSS drive/dirt pedal ever and sounds incredible in front and and in the effects loop of basically *any* amp Edit: shout outs to Rabea Massaad's video on this, sold me on the pedal and interestingly enough, his demo of the Charlie>BD-2 cascade was huge for me

[@floppymacdougal7690]

Anyone else always notice how good Josh's "feel" is on guitar?

[@andrewmayton5840]

no lie this is my favorite distortion pedal. i got to play a buddy's JCM800 years ago and could not get the sound out of my head. and when i tested this out, i'd finally found it again. so thank you, i can get that sound without shelling out for a JCM800. probably not unusual but i use it for atmospheric black metal. the harmonics from the JCM distortion are perfect for tremolo picking, and blending it parallel with the blues driver side did WAY more for it than i expected it to.

[@therealcharliebrown]

Love this pedal!! So many options, clean to super crunch.

[@soulfulstrum131]

Aye big love for Mamiya cameras too!! Got an RB67!

I've had this pedal on my radar for a while now, and when I cleared off my credit card last week, I took the plunge. Have to say I am very pleased. Only one gripe I have is that there's a lot of background in the series modes (I use P90) but a noise gate sorts that out with no bother. Great pedal. And my first toe dip into JHS stuff. Thanks Josh.

[@BrianOboylemusic]

That bread board is so cool. I’m glad that you are so deep into pedal history..so many guitar collectors but I come here for pedal info

“Remember The 90’s” got me right in the feels…Nostalgia vibes just oozing from my headphones as it took me all the way back to January 2nd, 1990…the day I stepped up and became a man (first day in the Army).

[@ranchoricardo]

Love the Mamiya shirt, Josh! My first camera was an old 70s Mamiya 35mm.... which is still limping along to some of my shoots when I can find the odd film roll.

[@sanozfamily]

I have the JB2 and I love it! Favorite setting is parallel mode. I honestly use the Blues Driver setting for most things, but if I need my guitar to stand out and be full, the parallel is where it's at. So many possibilities with tones though.

[@chilljackson577]

the second to last jam had me caught up reflecting and deeply considering things it was such a beautiful moment these videos are golden!

[@jooyoonchung3593]

I bought one of these pretty much immediately after watching this video. Absolutely sick pedal.

[@SurfaceMarsAudio]

RECORD TIME SUGGESTION: HUM’s “You’d Prefer An Astronaut” Please check it out if you haven’t. This album takes “shoegaze” and smashes it with walls of trippy driven guitars, backed by unique, jaw dropping, drums. It a perfect use of the “shades of colors” sound, and “beautiful quiet to heavy” formula. It blows me away that after 20 something years of listening to this album,Im still hearing new sounds and textures. They are still so influential to me and countless others..

[@FETeching]

Have you heard of the Leyland Pedals Hum Along? I have one and really love it. It’s a clone of the DF-2.
