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

[@jeffreyhall76]

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

[@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!

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

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

[@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.

[@unfinishedBridges]

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

[@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!

[@JD-pz7ll]

JHS Show is such a highlight, incredible,funny and awesome. Makes me happy when I see a new episode.

[@jhspedals]

Thank you!

[@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…

[@Jmarshall-kj4hc]

Every Fiona album is my favorite! I’m a huge rock nut but her albums for me are right up there with my zep Hendrix and rush records. Purely original musical genius!

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@kilgoretrout321]

Fiona Apple is BOSS. Her first album is still super heavy and also insanely catchy. Then she went full artist, and while I don't absolutely love everything she's done since, it's all quality. Fetch the Bolt Cutters is definitely her best since the first one and deserves all the critical recognition

[@blacktoothfox677]

I'm gonna be 100% honest. I have put a WICKED little guitar studio together this past 2 years. I am on limited funds, a player of 30+ years (with a lil' YT channel if you wanna stick ya head in!). Without you, Josh, and your review, I would NEVER have bought the Behringer clone of the Tubescreamer. It really WAS as good as you said. I then released my fears and starting buying inexpensive pedals - you personally brought colour into this space. In a spirit of gratitude, I decided I would buy one of your pedals sometime, I thought, something worth the boutique choice that I cant afford to often give myself (it has to be said, I DO have a few pricey pedals, mostly coz Ive had them for ages and they massively increased in value. But, I bought a new Boss pedal last year so I'm not totally at the 'economic' end). So I have looked through everything. On my shopping list, the 'Bender' - I think YOUR version of my all-time fave is the one worth plumping for. And you DO have heavy competition! But I have seen the journey of how you arrived at producing that pedal; I have faith in you passion. So that is on the list. A genuine Blues Driver BD-2 is on the list. I like Boss drives, and my stage distortion is Boss. I have a few, and intend to make a good tone-palette of Boss drives. Instead of buying the BD-2 I'm gonna go that bit extra and buy this, Crazy Charlie. I have seen them, but now I know more about them, I'm kinda hooked. So, look forwards to introducing your work, Josh, to my rig, which is a precious zone of sonics in my life. Look forwards to it, man! All the very best for '22 from the UK

[@lancecass8997]

I've owned it for just over 3yrs. I definitely use the Blues Driver side more, but with the music I usually play, the BD fits better. I use the Angry Charlie side as anoher stage of gain, and have never been disappointed. It's a Great pedal. And it's fun to change the order of the two, or parallel and series. It's my overall favorite drive pedal I've ever owned. Get one, you'll love it.

[@lancecass8997]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3K3fKt3f7mKp5o Another cool demo of this pedal.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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. ✊🏽

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

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.

[@mcs9702]

I got back into making music again last year and wanted to be pretty minimalist on the gear to keep it simple, and while looking at Blues Driver reviews I found the JB-2. Knew immediately it was the right thing and have been using it for about 5-6 months. Really versatile and hard to get a bad sound out of it. The only downside is that I love the colour scheme of the BD-2.

[@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.

[@otakuholly8885]

god, that fiona record has been the bane of a long car ride for me, the shrill dolphin cries she does really got to me on a deep agonizing level like the 20th listen, its a good album but is deffinatly a cautionary lesson to have some of her other work to fall back on.

[@tonesheriff4959]

I like my Angry Driver in parallel mode! After being exposed to parallel mode I took it one step further! Sit down for this one Josh! I took a Boss LS-2 line selector that has parallel mode and ran the Angry Driver in parallel mode in parallel with a JHS Fuzz! You heard correctly, that ends up summing all three dirty circuits at once in parallel (Overdrive, Distortion and Fuzz)! Wait is that still parallel or is it more like “Triparallelum?” Nothing sounds the same! If only someone (JHS) could throw all three pedals in one for a trifecta or trinity of drives.

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..

NO WAY that the Angry Charlie is better than you having your children Josh.

Thank You Sincerely for all of your Extremely thoughtful, Honest and Supremely helpful and educational episodes of much appreciated electronic Artistry.

[@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.

[@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.

[@brian_mccomedy]

I use the Angry Charlie into the BD-2 with the remote, with some slapback delay from a Boss DD-3 as my main distorted sound. It's a fantastic caustic sounding distortion.

[@beefyboi64]

I bought this pedal not expecting much beyond some simple gain options on my board. A year or two later, I can confidently say this is my favorite pedal on the board. It's so fun, so versatile, so easy to use, the form factor is excellent, and it looks nice which matters plenty to me 😂. My favorite setting so far has been the AC between noon and 3:00 into the BD at about 10:00 to noon; huge, bright, high voltage sound that's great for leads and even some chugging through my Orange amp.

[@williamwallis1276]

Love the JB-2!! So many options. When it's time to get a little "punchy", run the JB-2 in Parallel mode and fire up the Muffuletta in JHS mode. The Marshall DSL 40 likes it but the neighbors dogs do not approve!

[@SisterRose]

I love the BD-2 because it does actually get into fuzzier territory. Too many "Blues" tones I hear on YT are these ultra smooth almost stereotypically t00b tones, like SRV run through a fourier transform. IMO Real "Blues" tends to have a lot more character(like an overdriven Tweed more than an Blackface with a tubescreamer), so I'm glad Boss has saved a lot of guys from having boring toanz through the years.

[@mr.d.572]

Technically you're right. Traditional blues has always had a more stinging, biting tone. I actually prefer playing with a smoother tone these days, just because I'm tired of fuzz and distortion. I have a few overdrive pedals but I keep them on low gain for the most part.

[@dmac3316]

This was one of, if not the first, pedal I bought a couple years back when I started looking at pedals again. Very versatile and prob my first choice to take to a jam. My old band may be starting up again and this pedal could basically deliver all the drive sounds I need. Great pedal!

[@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!

[@lachlan1971]

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.

[@vladzubac5360]

Simple truth: JHS Pedals are the best! tried lots of pedals, but I always keep coming back to JHS: tone and feel like no other! Thank you JHS for existing!!

[@jessievasser6293]

I love my SD-2 and immediately noticed the similarities. I bought the first JB-2 at my local shop here in MS and it was my first JHS pedal but definitely not my last. Love the JB-2 as well and usually use it like I would the SD-2, switching between low gain crunch and higher gain solo tone. I have to say though that my favorite setting is the Parallel mode though, it sets this pedal apart from all others. So many tone shaping possibilities and it retains this "oil and water" "3D" sound that great and unique.

I’m not sure how much of it is nostalgia (I listened to it A LOT when it came out) but there is just something magical about that album. Great episode. It certainly piqued my interest in the Angry Driver. I recently purchased my first JHS pedals (the Colour Box V2 and the Clover) and I am very happy with them. Thank you!

[@OmicronTauKappaClassicDaddy]

I bought my JB-2 simply because it had two effects I need (OD + Dist) in one small pedal and that opened up one more spot on my cramped little board for another effect. The switching options are just a wonderful extra that gives me even more tone options.

And of course, because I only had two CDs, I played the heck out of it and it is still great today.

[@TravisHam]

I dig the parallel mode! It's an easy way to get a bit of the flavor of running two amps without the ridiculous hassle of running two amps. Incidentally, One of my favorite sounds is using my Bass BMP set to low-ish gain on the clean blend setting (functionally, a parallel setting) into an AC15 that's just starting to break up. The way the clean & fuzz meld together while maintaining some distinction is pretty wonderful.

[@wolfberg_gpasca]

i only ever had 2 distortion pedal. The first one that i bought years ago was the infamous DS-1. When i wanted something different i bought the JB-2. The possibilities are enormous. One of the setting i use the most to play heavier riffs (eg. Tool) is to use the B->J mode with the Boss level higher than the Jhs level but with the jhs drive a bit higher than the boss' but both drive arround 12 o clock. To get a similar tone with a different character i use the J->B and use the same logic of the first level "pushing" into the second one. Amazing product
