What a great look! I also though that it was a joke at first. Those pots are beautiful. Nice to see Boss trying new designs.

My understanding was that JHS had a bad reputation because they just cloned pedal schematics verbatim and resold them.

And this is from their site; https://www.jhspedals.com/jhs-supports-human-rights/ But thing is if I wanted to buy an OCD where I live it would be 3x the USA price, a JHS probably around 4x and this goes for many non US-EU countrys. Boss pedals go for around 2x, maybe a bit lower so I expect this to sell worldwide like crazy. So this pedal sort of targets pedals like mxr EVH or friedman BE-OD also Fulltone OCD which are huge gaps in Boss dist./OD range of pedals. I'll agree there are other companys Boss could have worked with but this also seems fine aside the fishy-ethical side of things. It will probably take some time before I could get my hands on one but I'm hopefull it won't be disappointing. PS; Also, I'd like to give credit to GMC'ers for being such gentleman's as no one made the pedals "B (low)-J (...) Mode" joke yet This post has been edited by Mertay: Sep 8 2017, 10:47 PM |

Theoretically pretty cool.
I'd like to know a price point. An Angry Charlie (current version) is around $175.00 US. Also, do you guys think that any Boss footswitch would work? Or any simple toggling off/on switch could work? -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

$199.00 at Sweetwater (MSRP at $299.00 - ridiculous IMO)
My guess is that very few folks will pay that price for - lets face it - a 'Boss' pedal. You can achieve pretty much all the same things with a stock BD2 and any of several other (dozens of) high gain pedals. A BD2 you can find for $50 or less and a brand new OCD is only about $116.00. For less than $175.00 you can do most of what that new Boss pedal will do. It's gonna have come way down in actual street price. You can find most of those 'Waza Craft' pedals for $150 or less and some (the drive) for a hundred bucks. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Well here's the thing with the Waza pedals ...
I've yet to see one in the wild. I don't know any guitar players that have one. None of the guitar players I know have ever even mentioned a Waza pedal to me. I don't care what Boss says about them - nobody (here) has or plays them. As I pointed out in my last post, Waza pedals are going for around a hundred bucks for the ODs and $149.00 for the delay and chorus. Used - even less. $74 for the drive models ('sold' ebay listings). This JB-2 thing is great idea. I would like one but I'm not throwing down more than $150.00. I'm patient. My prediction is after one year of production you'll start seeing used JB2s for $150 or less. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

But that's here in the states, like Mertay says, only the boss products are even remotely affordable in certain countries where boutique pedals cost up to 3 times list price. ouch. Boss has global distribution making them a bit easier to find. Yeah, I get that. But still, you need an external footswitch to access the switching features. So space wise, it's really the same as having two pedals. To that end, buying a nice crunchy OD and a stock Blues Driver, regardless of what country you're in, will be more cost effective. The list price of a Fulldrive III, from the fulltone website is $135.00. Yeah, different animal but come on, that's also a two function OD where you can change the order of the boost and drive. And that's a handmade, all analog pedal. $199 for a Boss pedal is a no go (IMO). This post has been edited by klasaine: Sep 10 2017, 11:15 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
