BOSS VB-2W

The BOSS Vibrato VB-2W from the Waza Craft edition is an extended version of the prized VB-2 vibrato effect produced by Boss since 1982. The pedal effect in a new coat, perfected by experienced Japanese experts, respects the musical development and offers wider sound possibilities compared to the original models.

The box with purely analog circuitry authentically captures the pitch-shift vibrato of the original VB-2 (in Standard mode), while in Custom mode it offers a completely new vibrato effect sound. The Mode knob allows you to choose between three operating modes - in Latch mode the box operates as standard, in Unlatch mode the vibrato effect is only active when the footswitch is pressed (Momentary function) and in Bypass mode the BBD circuit is immediately de-circuited when the pedal is turned off to eliminate any latency. The settings of the other three controls determine the speed, intensity and onset time of the effect modulation.

By connecting an external expression pedal, the intensity of the effect modulation can be changed in real time. The Vibrato VB-2W, like all current Boss pedals, operates in Buffered Bypass mode. Power is supplied by a 9V battery or 9V adapter (adapter not included).

The letter W at the end of the pedal name refers to the name of the edition - Waza Craft. It is a special series of effects that were developed under the strictest supervision of the most experienced sound experts of the entire Boss company in Japan. The term Waza means "art and technique" in Japanese. Simply a mastery that can only be gained through years of hard work.
