BOSS VB-2W Vibrato Pedal

Our Take:

The original BOSS VB-2 Vibrato is a very sought-after pedal that features expressive, one-of-a-kind sound. The tonal spirit of the iconic VB-2 has been recreated within the Waza Craft VB-2W using all-analog circuitry. The VB-2W reproduces the  vibrato tone of the original VB-2, with a brand new mode and real-time controls for enhanced expression. The controls include: Standard/Custom switch, Rate, Depth, Rise Time, and Mode knobs for a full range of customizability. In Japan, “Waza” is the term for art and technique, and these special edition pedals proudly carry the Waza symbol to represent the pinnacle of BOSS design and craftsmanship. Being made in Japan, the Waza Craft series brings you exceptional tone and touch response through carefully-selected analog components, refined circuitry, and meticulous attention to detail.

BOSS's Take:

Ahead of its time when it debuted in 1982, the VB-2 Vibrato has been rediscovered by modern players looking to create unique guitar textures with stompbox effects. Thanks to its expressive, one-of-a-kind sound, this rare pedal has gone on to become one of the most valuable BOSS effects in the vintage market. Now, the progressive spirit of the VB-2 has been reborn as the Waza Craft VB-2W. Using all-analog circuitry, the VB-2W authentically reproduces the true pitch-shifted vibrato of the original pedal, and also adds an innovative new vibrato mode and real-time control function for enhanced expression.
