BOSS VB-2W Waza Vibrato

What we say:

BOSS’s colourful stomp boxes are the most recognisable pedal range in existence. For over 40 years, guitarists from bedrooms to stadiums have put their boot down on a BOSS effect to transform their sound. Several models have passed into guitar legend and early examples can fetch extremely high prices. Happily, BOSS have maintained their stellar reputation for world-class effects in bomb-proof casing with their current range and have fended off the imitators for decades to remain the pre-eminent single pedal effects manufacturer in the business. If there’s an effect for guitar (or bass, vocals, keys…be creative!) then you can bet BOSS have a pedal of it in their range or even invented it outright! Every guitar player should get to experience the joy of selecting a pedal from BOSS’s exhaustive roster, plugging it in and unleashing their wildest sonic dreams.

Boss's Waza Craft line is an exclusive group of the most popular Boss pedals, taken by Boss Japan's engineers and developed further to provide the 'ultimate' version of that particular pedal. Waza in English translates as either "art", "deed", "performance" or "technique" depending on it's usage and context but any of these make sense when applied here!

The Waza Vibrato pedal gives us all of the charm and tone of the original and adds a couple of cool features. Now, you can switch between the pedal acting in a 'latched' mode, i.e. normal, and 'momentary' so the effect is only on for as long as you hold down the footswitch. This lets you add little touches of vibrato effect without annoying amounts of tap-dancing!

There is also a Custom mode which gives you a completely new version of the sound, freshly designed and offering a unique, filtered sound. AND you can also attach an external pedal to control the depth of the effect in real-time.
