The BOSS VB-2w WAZA Craft Vibrato Pedal is currently retailing at £209 and it is in stock. Available to be delivered to you by post direct (some charge may apply).The team at Just Pedals think that Boss nailed it with the BOSS VB-2w WAZA Craft Vibrato Pedal.
Boss have been making an incredible pedals for a few decades now. The downside of having such a long career as a pedal builder is that some pedals have come and gone with no sign of coming back. Now with the Waza all analogue series of pedals a lot of your favourite Boss pedals now have a way of coming. That is exactly what has happened with the VB-2W Vibrato which was originally available back in the 1980's!
100% Analogue
The VB-2W is an interesting pedal as the original used a BBD-driven circuit which gave your whole sound this warm undertone that sounded amazing. Now pedals have moved on to the point where transparency is key. With this pedal BOSS wanted to give you both of those sounds so inside there are two modes, Standard and Custom.
In standard mode you are replicating that warm tone that the orignal was known for. Chuck it in to Custom mode and you open the pedal up with a low pass filter that moves with the effect and wider controls that let you dial in more extreme settings.
A Rare Replica
When we say the original VB-2 is rare we really do mean it. It was produced for just 4 years between 1982 and 1986 never to be seen again. This means that these are worth a tonne on the used market if you can ever find one that is. At the time of writing we can find ones going for upwards of £350! So when we say rare we really mean it.
Here's what BOSS say about the VB-2w
True Vibrato Expression, Reborn With Waza Innovation
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.

Pedal
A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.
This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.
Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.
Once you buy one, you can’t stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.
Vibrato
Vibrato is an effect commonly used in music, particularly in guitar playing, that involves modulating the pitch of a note to create a wavering or trembling sound. It adds a dynamic and expressive quality to the music, enhancing the richness and depth of individual notes or chords. Here’s how vibrato works and some common features of vibrato effects:
1. **Pitch Modulation**: Vibrato effect pedals modulate the pitch of the guitar signal, causing it to oscillate above and below the original pitch at a controlled rate and depth. This creates a shimmering or undulating effect similar to the natural vibrato produced by a vocalist or instrumentalist.
2. **Controls**: Vibrato pedals typically offer controls for adjusting the rate (speed) and depth (intensity) of the pitch modulation. The rate control determines how quickly the pitch oscillates, while the depth control determines the extent of the pitch modulation.
3. **Waveform Options**: Some vibrato pedals provide options for selecting different waveform shapes, such as sine wave, triangle wave, or square wave. Each waveform shape produces a different character of vibrato, ranging from smooth and subtle to choppy and pronounced.
4. **Expression Pedal Compatibility**: Many vibrato pedals are compatible with expression pedals, allowing players to control the rate or depth of the vibrato effect in real-time using their foot. This adds a dynamic and expressive element to the performance, allowing for greater control over the vibrato effect.
5. **True Bypass**: Like many other effects pedals, vibrato pedals may feature true bypass circuitry to ensure that the pedal does not color or degrade the guitar signal when it’s not in use. True bypass preserves the tone and integrity of the instrument’s sound when the pedal is bypassed.
6. **Blend Control**: Some vibrato pedals include a blend control that allows players to mix the wet (effected) and dry (unaffected) signals. This enables subtle blending of the vibrato effect with the original guitar signal, preserving clarity and definition while adding depth and texture.
7. **Vintage vs. Modern Voicing**: Vibrato pedals may offer different voicing options to emulate the characteristics of vintage vibrato effects or provide more modern and versatile tones. Vintage-style vibrato pedals often replicate the sound of classic amplifier vibrato circuits, while modern pedals may offer enhanced features and flexibility.
Overall, vibrato pedals are versatile tools for adding movement, texture, and expression to guitar tones. Whether used subtly to add warmth and depth to clean passages or dialed in for dramatic pitch modulation effects, vibrato pedals offer guitarists a wide range of creative possibilities for shaping their sound.
