That Pedal Show – Boss JB-2 Angry Driver, BD-2 Blues Driver, JHS Angry Charlie & Marshall Guv'nor

In this week’s episode we take a listen to the overdrive pedal that’s a collaboration between the Boss Corporation and JHS Pedals. It’s the first pedal collaboration that Boss has ever done.
As it’s a mix of the JHS Angry Charlie and the Boss BD-2, we use the show to compare the new stomper with standalone versions of those pedals, before adding some context with two generations of Marshall Guv’nor (the pedal that chiefly inspired the Angry Charlie).
Thank you for watching… Please enjoy the video.
