OVERDRIVE- BOSS Angry Driver JB-2 ...JHS Angry DriverJB-2 ....what the Hell???

BOSS ANGRY DRIVER JB-2   JHS ANGRY DRIVER JB-2 

The Boss...oops! sorry. The JHS ...damn! sorry again
Sorry about that. let me try again. Now the Boss Ang
ah crap...let me figure it out and get back to you tomorrow.


OK
here is the deal BOSS are celebrating 40 years of making pedals.
Unfortunately every small flaw in any new pedal they make gets shouts of.....
"SEE I TOLD YOU THEY MAKE CRAP NOW!!

One of the new kids to join the upper ranks is JHS. One day they will get their ass kicked too. But right now they are walking
amongst the very best.

SO...BOSS went to JHS and said "let's do a pedal together."



So they got together at the BOSS headquarters and tried teaming up several pedals on their short list. They found out that if you put the Boss Blues Drive with the Angry Charlie you have a medium and high gain pedal that match beautifully.
So they tweaked both pedals to run either separately or stacked.
The result is the JB-2.




    OVERVIEW                                                                                                                                        

So I have owned a Blues Drive clone and I have a Charlie.
Both are very good pedals.
You can not put 2 great pedals in one small box with a reasonable price point to sell it at without some compromise. I always prefer ...one sound one box...but a perfect sound.
You will have to decide for yourself.
BUT 3 cheers for the great idea. They should really do an original pedal together.
It will not happen because if it tanked they would both get their reputational butts kicked twice as hard.
