Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
BOSS and JHS combine the BD-2 Blues Driver and Angry Charlie in one compact overdrive pedal. Separate drive, tone, and level controls let you set up each side independently, while the six-position selector changes the working relationship between them. Use either drive alone, stack them in series, or run them in parallel for a different combined response. A REMOTE jack also lets an external footswitch or pedal switcher take over control when the pedal is part of a larger setup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Building low-gain, medium-high-gain, and distortion-capable drive choices into one compact pedal position.
- Changing between individual, series, and parallel drive arrangements during a pedalboard-based rig.
