Danelectro unveils "Billionaire" line of pedals

Danelectro has unveiled a new series of pedals, the "Billionaire" line. The four pedals feature an overdrive, a rotary speaker simulator, a tremolo (possibly a rehoused Tuna Melt) and a boost pedal (probably a Boss FA-1 FET Amplifier clone.) Also among the new products is a power supply powered by a 9v battery, which may be of interest to those prefer using batteries for their dirt pedals. For more information, visit Danelectro's Billionaire Tone site.

BOSS and JHS unveil JB-2 Angry Driver

In completely unexpected news, BOSS and JHS Pedals announced a collaboration between the two companies, the JB-2 Angry Driver. The first time BOSS decides to collaborate with another pedal company and it's JHS. Seriously. Fucking JHS.

The JB-2 Angry Driver is basically BOSS's BD-2 Blues Driver and JHS's Angry Charlie combined into one, though unlike most dual overdrives, it doesn't have separate footswitches for each channel. Rather, options for running each channel individually, or together in either series or parallel, is controlled with a mode knob. For more information for this new pedal, visit the BOSS website.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of BOSS compact pedals, BOSS and JHS Pedals have come together in a historic creative collaboration between the two industry leaders. Housed in the classic BOSS compact design, the JB-2 Angry Driver pairs the tones of the iconic BOSS BD-2 Blues Driver with JHS Pedals’ popular Angry Charlie. Working closely together, the two pedal innovators have developed an all-new combined circuit with refined sound and performance perfectly tuned for dual-mode drive operation.

The JB-2 Angry Driver features three dual-concentric knobs that provide independent drive, tone, and level control for each overdrive type. Via a six-position mode selector, you can use each overdrive independently, or combine them together in series and parallel configurations. With the ability to blend the Blues Driver’s famously expressive low-to-mid gain tones with the Angry Charlie’s aggressive rock voice in any combination, the JB-2 Angry Driver delivers unmatched range and versatility from a single overdrive pedal.

GC Daily Pick - Tech 21 Bass Boost

Guitar Center has a daily deal for the Tech 21 Bass Boost effects pedal. It's on sale for $89, which is $60 off its usual price.

Distortion, dirt, grit, grind, overdrive, fuzz, chunk — it goes by many names, comes in many flavors and they’re all good. Unfortunately, finding that sweet spot isn’t so easy with vintage pedals. You need to deal with noise, signal loss, tones that can change with battery life and even the temperature on stage. Some of those old Germanium-powered effects are more sensitive than a train-car of nitro.

Tech 21’s all-analog circuitry squeezes righteous, vintage tones out of every Boost Series pedal with modern dependability. Designed and built from the ground up utilizing the best individually-selected, hand-biased discreet components, each unit delivers optimized performance with studio-quiet operation. And we call them Boost pedals for a reason. Alongside a wealth of hot driven tones, there is a powerful boost function that delivers up to an incredible 21dB of clean boost, which can be used independently from the effect. It is a true post-boost, punching up the tone you dialed in, not smothering it in unwanted distortion. From the high-impedance input to the sweepable low-pass filter in the tone control, your tone will be open and controllable in every setting.

When you need a huge, 360-degree, room-filling bass tone, step up to the Bass Boost Fuzz. From the fat, gritty sounds of the ‘60s fuzz bass, to the subterranean growl of industrial metal, the Bass Boost Fuzz puts musical rage in your low-end. When you need more focus and edge, dial in the +CLEAN control to add just the right amount of direct tone to your mix.
