Boss JB-2 Angry Driver Overdrive Pedal
The Boss JB-2 Angry Driver is a powerhouse collaboration between two giants in the effects world—Boss and JHS Pedals. Created to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Boss compact pedals, this dual overdrive merges the warm expressiveness of the Boss BD-2 Blues Driver with the searing power of the JHS Angry Charlie. The result is an incredibly versatile drive pedal that covers everything from smooth blues grit to hard-hitting rock tones—all in the classic, road-tested Boss enclosure.
Dual Legends, One Pedal
The JB-2 brings together two iconic drive circuits, each with its own character and flavor. Use the Blues Driver for dynamic low-to-mid gain tones, or switch to the Angry Charlie for rich, amp-like distortion. For even more tonal possibilities, blend or stack the two in series or parallel to create layered textures that cut through any mix.
Precision Tone Control
With three dual-concentric knobs, you can independently adjust drive, tone, and level for each overdrive engine. The six-position mode selector makes it easy to toggle between individual sounds, stack them for added punch, or run them in parallel for a wide, harmonically complex tone. Multi-color LED indicators show which mode is active—blue for Boss, red for JHS, and purple for both.
Built for the Stage and Studio
Rugged, reliable, and performance-ready, the JB-2 includes a remote switch jack for external control from your footswitch or effects system. Its compact size and versatile layout make it ideal for pedalboards where tonal flexibility is key. Backed by a five-year Boss warranty, it’s built to perform night after night.
