BOSS JB-2 Angry Driver Dual Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal

BOSS JB-2 Angry Driver is a collaborative overdrive pedal developed by BOSS and JHS Pedals, combining two acclaimed analog drive circuits into a single compact stompbox. Merging the expressive, touch-sensitive response of the iconic BOSS BD-2 Blues Driver with the powerful, amp-inspired gain of the JHS Angry Charlie, the JB-2 delivers an exceptionally wide range of tones for guitarists. From transparent boost and dynamic blues overdrive to classic rock crunch and modern high-gain distortion, this versatile pedal is designed for studio recording, live performance, rehearsals, and professional pedalboard setups.

Featuring two fully independent analog drive circuits, the JB-2 provides dedicated Drive, Tone, and Level controls for each side. Its innovative dual-concentric knob design maximizes functionality without increasing pedalboard footprint, allowing precise tonal shaping while maintaining the familiar BOSS compact pedal format. Whether used individually or combined, both circuits deliver responsive dynamics and exceptional clarity across a wide variety of playing styles.

The JB-2's six-position mode selector unlocks extensive tonal flexibility by allowing players to choose between the BOSS BD-2, the JHS Angry Charlie, stacked series configurations, parallel operation, or instant switching between the two drive circuits via the onboard footswitch. Series modes create thick, harmonically rich overdrive with enhanced sustain, while the parallel mode blends both circuits for articulate, dynamic tones that respond naturally to picking attack and guitar volume adjustments.
