A combination of the Boss BS-2 Blues Driver and a JHS Angry Charlie, a circuit that began life as a modded Marshall Guv’nor distortion.
With clever dual-function pots for drive, level and tone on both circuits, there’s a plethora of high and low-gain drive sounds in this distortion pedal.
Among the myriad routing options, there’s a parallel configuration that allows you to blend both sounds at once (like running two amps simultaneously), and one for adding a remote footswitch for individual control of each circuit.
Celebrating 40 years of Boss pedals, the company’s foray into boutique collaborations is interesting and well-timed.
