General

The BOSS JHS JB-2 Angry Driver is a compact overdrive pedal that's essentially a combination of BOSS' legendary BD-2 Blues Driver and JHS Pedals' popular Angry Charlie. The JB-2 is a dual-mode overdrive pedal meaning it has two different types of overdrive in one pedal. That not only gives you a massive tonal range to work with, it means you can go from a little gain to lots of gain effortlessly.

JB-2 Angry Driver: extremely versatile

BOSS' and JHS Pedals' lovechild actually has no fewer than six different modes. The BOSS or JHS overdrives can be used independently or in a mode that makes it possible to change between them using the built-in pedal switch. The overdrives can also be used in series with the BOSS before the JHS or vice versa. They can also be used together in parallel. There's a 3-colour LED indicator to help you keep track of which overdrive is activated. You can also connect an optional BOSS footswitch for controlling pedal modes.

BD-2 Blues Driver & Angry Charlie

The BOSS BD-2 Blues Overdrive probably needs little introduction. It's been popular ever since it first saw the light of day in 1995. It's not just a favourite with Blues guitarists, however. Thanks to its relatively subtle overdrive, it's also perfect for pushing overdriven tube amps further over the edge. By contrast, the JHS Angry Charlie has a rawer sound with lots of gain. That makes it an excellent choice for shredding through a clean amplifier.

Anger for everyone!

The combination of the more sensitive Blues Driver and the more prominent Angry Charlie are exactly what makes the JB-2 Angry Driver such a versatile overdrive pedal. It doesn't matter what style of music you play or what equipment you use, the JB-2 really is suitable for everyone. As you'd expect from any pedal that BOSS puts its name to, the JB-2 is extremely robust and sure to last for years to come.

Boss JHS JB-2 Angry Driver effects pedal

Wrote the following about Boss JHS JB-2 Angry Driver effects pedal
Dit is het ultieme pedaal voor "tone tweakers". Alle combinaties zijn mogelijk: Blues Driver eerst, Angry Charlie eerst, in parallel, tone van de ene hoog en van de andere laag, drive van de ene hoog en de andere laag, etc. Oneindig veel combinaties om uit te proberen. Een extra footswitch (zoals de Boss FS-6) is essentieel om alles er uit te halen. Mijn favoriete instelling is JHS -> Boss.

Daarbij is het Boss gedeelte een exacte kopie van een van de populairste Boss drive pedalen. Het JHS Angry Charlie deel mist wel de uitgebreide 3 band EQ opties van het origineel; die zijn vervangen door een enkele tone knob. Het geluid van de Angry Charlie kant lijkt overigens behoorlijk op de RAT.

Thuis, solo, viel het me op dat de bass response van het pedaal best laag is (dus klinkt het niet erg "heavy" in combinatie met een cleane versterker), en dat het weinig compressie heeft, dus klinkt het wat "crackly" (vooral de Boss kant). Samen met band, luider, paste dat geluid een stuk beter: het pedaal past goed in de mix en is dynamisch. Het is ook wel logisch dat de bass response wat lager is, om dat beide kanten van het pedaal geschikt moeten zijn als "boost" (in de combinaties JHS -> Boss en Boss -> JHS), waarbij bas frequenties snel in de weg zitten. Dit pedaal is dus ook erg geschikt als boost voor andere overdrive/distortion pedalen of buizen versterkers.

Uiteindelijk denk ik dat bijna iedereen hier wel een geluid in kan vinden waar hij blij van wordt, tenzij je op zoek bent naar een pedaal dat op zichzelf heel heavy klinkt in combinatie met een cleane versterker.

De mogelijkheden zijn eindeloos. Van een randje en een push van je versterker met de Blues Driver kant tot JCM 800 tones met de JHS en de combinaties tussen de twee geven een regenboog aan crunchy goodies tot los erover screaming lead tones!

Is het een overdrive? Is het een distortion? Ik weet het niet, maar het is een beest van een pedaal. De combi van de blues driver van boss met de angrie charlie van jhs is een geweldige sound met oneindig veel mogelijkheden. Voor het stacking vn beide pedalen (bd-2 in jhs of andersom) of los van elkaar, maar de parallel mode is de beste in mijn oren. Dan komt het beest helemaal tot leven, zoals geen ander pedaal dit kan.

Excellente pédale, le meilleur des 2 mondes, celui de la "classique" Blues Driver de Boss et la "musclée" Angry Charlie de JHS.

En plus la possibilité de faire fonctionner les 2 circuits en parallèle et surtout en série permet d'obtenir une variété énorme de sons allant de l'overdrive léger à la plus méchante des saturations. La compatibilité de ces 2 circuits est telle que cela va bien au delà d'un simple chainage d'effets car l'un "module" l'autre faisant accéder à des couleurs de son et des réactions au jeu qu'on n'aurait pas individuellement.

Je ne mets "que" 4 étoiles en raison de la relative complexité des réglages, contrepartie de la richesse des combinaisons possibles. A noter qu'un footswitch externe n'est pas inutile pour passer d'un mode à l'autre.

Rapport qualité/prix exceptionnel compte-tenu du fait qu'on a 2 pédales pour le prix d'une (voire un peu moins même, cf tarif de l'Angry Charlie seule).
