Product description
[Vibrato, an unconventional effect revived with craftsmanship]
The VB-2, one of the most unique models in the Boss compact series, debuted in 1982, ahead of its time. After several decades, the VB-2 is once again gaining attention. The advanced nature of the original VB-2, which was at the cutting edge at the time, has been reborn as the ``WAZA CRAFT'' VB-2W, equipped with a new vibrato mode that provides unprecedented fluctuation, and a real-time control function tailored to modern usage. ○Features
■Specially designed compact pedal “WAZA CRAFT” series that creates the ultimate tone
■Equipped with a custom mode that allows you to obtain more characteristic fluctuations using a filter.
■Complete reproduction of vintage VB-2 sound in standard mode
■High-quality full analog circuit design using BBD vibrato circuit
■Real-time depth control using expression pedal
