Life too short for long CZcams videos? Please see the timings in the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below to help you navigate the video.
In this week’s episode we take a listen to the overdrive pedal that’s a collaboration between the Boss Corporation and JHS Pedals. It’s the first pedal collaboration that Boss has ever done.
As it’s a mix of the JHS Angry Charlie and the Boss BD-2, we use the show to compare the new stomper with standalone versions of those pedals, before adding some context with two generations of Marshall Guv’nor (the pedal that chiefly inspired the Angry Charlie).
Thank you for watching… Please enjoy the video.

I'm gonna suggest a show on the blues driver itself. If the tubescreamer can get its own show, the blues driver is also worthy. You can talk about the various popular mods, the stock version, waza craft version, its various uses like the great near clean playing from mick at the beginning of this video, and you can honk for Andy Timmons throughout the episode.
BD-2 has been my favorite drive pedal for a while. Never had any of the mods. Would like to see a comparison.
BD-2 , BD-2W ...OD-3 and Modded OD-3 ,( Pedal Mods UK ) , Modded SD-1 ( Pedal Mods UK) and SD-1W
you probably dont give a shit but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Xzavier Dariel instablaster :)
@Colin Ashton Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Day off work, pizza, beer and That Pedal Show. What could be better?
Keep the horn.
+Martin Perry Cheers!
13 hour day. Fight with wife. Now I'm watching this with a bottle of wine, and a crap load of sushi😉
I found out about Andy Timmons through your use of the horn. It's doing valuable service, keep it in guys.
Micky 2112 me too. Was listening to one of his albums only yesterday thanks to the horn. May not have tickets to see Steven Wilson at the RAH next march if it wasn’t for the horn too...
+Piplodocus We’re so glad to be of help!
By the way I love how this video is an in-depth review of a pedal, with comparisons and has a bit of a tutorial feel to it! The longer format of your show really works with an in-depth review like this! Love it!
+Pat Flanigan Thank you Pat - glad you find it useful!
Geez, Mick just killing it during the intro. And I love how Dan totally is memorized. So cool to see how you guys mutually are fans of one another. Great video as always guys!
+BasementShopGuy cheers B, yep, Mick is in fine fine form st the moment :)
Yes! Glad you're doing a video on the pedal and comparing them! Super pumped about the angry driver!
Holy crap that JB-2 sounds awesome to me! After hearing that thing in parallel mode my jaw dropped, the sound.. I.. no words!
That pedal sounds massive and combines two immense pedals together!! Genuinely shocking how good it actually sounds and very excited to purchase one myself!! Only just got into the blues driver and it is immense as a solo boost, but this is just a killer combination!!
Dan, I was the fanboy that came up to you and asked you about the JB-2 when I saw you in Anderton's the week before last. Apologies!
+Matt Stanley please, no apologies Matt, was great to meet you :)
Did anybody look inside or get some confirmation from Boss that this pedal is still two analogue drives in one? I fear boss made more than the switching of pedal order to be digital based on the current draw of the pedal.
This seems to be asked in every video posted on the JB2 -- and the replies from both Boss and JHS allege that isn't the case.
+MetObsessed What are you on about? 50mA is entirely believable for two analog drive circuits being run into an analog summing circuit (e.g. the standard BD-2 draws 20mA by itself, and the LS-2 draws 25mA by itself).
Haters gonna hate
Well done guys, now I know EXACTLY what the Boss Angry Driver pedal sounds like, cheers
First of all, definitely keep the horn.
Second, just want to thank you guys for such great and informative videos that also keep things fun. Took the plunge last week and got my first pedal board along with a Blues Cube Hot and have been really enjoying it. Went with a Mini Wah>Electric Mistress>Soul Food>OD Glove>Canyon Delay>Hall of Fame Mini to start with for pedals and it's been a blast experimenting with different combinations. I've definitely got the bug now and the Angry Driver looks amazing as a possible addition at some point.
Thanks so much for this show. I added the Angry Driver to my wishlist when it was announced a few weeks back. This video convinced me to move it up higher on that list. Cheers!
Do NOT get rid of the horn... It's one of your best bits. Sell copies of the horn in your store. LOL!
In other words, That Pedal Show is better when horny... Just saying, mates.
You guys has been my teachers for quite a while... such a good taste of tones, techniques and sense of humor. Playing guitar is my hobbie, but you guys made me a better player for the last year just by watching your show! Cheers! :)
+Rafael Cimino Wonderful Rafael. That makes us feel sooooo good! Stoked to be helping you in any way we can. :0)
I concur - the horn has to stay. Way too much fun watching and learning from you two!
The Angry Charlie is just about all of those tones in a single enclosure. This pedal is in my top 5 drives. I really enjoy it.
I just bought the Angry Driver! Excited to play it through my electric violin and Harmonicas!
That's the show that I'm looking for all week!!! Can't wait all week, as always and then chill with a beer at home on friday with You chaps. Cheers!!!
+Tomasz Mikinka Skol!
That Pedal Show in Poland we’re saying „na zdrowie!”
You guys were killing it man! Nice!
So many great tones! KEEP THE HORN!
Mick, your playing is particularly stellar today....well done indeed.
+Nicko30able Thank you kindly Nicko. :0)
I've been trying to think of how to phrase it without sounding like a back handed compliment, but your playing lately has been extra tasting. Like you've found a new level and are stretching your proverbial wings into a cloudless sky.
+Mick&Dan - really happy to see the original Guvnor getting a run out. For my 16th birthday I strode into a shop and bought my first effect pedal - It was a Guvnor, and it I was in Anderton's. I still get goose bumps remembering that first pedal love!
+David Keane ah, that's great! Cheers D :)
I'm watching this while changing strings to my Strat...Mick, you always sound great, but I have to say...you must be in a really good shape here, because you sound amazing! Thank you both for your amazing work!
Keep the horn fellas! Have to say that you guys are the only pedal show I recommend to our students at Passion Academy. Thank you and keep up the good work.
+Daniel Johannesson ah, thanks so much Daniel :)
Another great show! Thanks guys :)
That one lick at 1:21, Mick does so well. ..Awesome Mick!
You guys always does a great work! Thank you very much guys!
+Ryu Yamakawa you're very welcome :)
Mind blown at 14:58. I didn't know a Blues Driver had that tone inside. Gain up, level down. Even more versatility.
Wow this is just what I was looking for. Hope you guys are having a great time with crazy HP here in Germany.
+Gummmibaer Wr has w wonderful time. Massive kudos to Henning Pauly, Mr Wilfer and everyone at Warwick for the fantastic hosting... and indeed the vision for doing something different. :0)
+ 1 vote for keeping the horn.
The only good reason to get rid of the horn would be for a bigger horn.
YES!!!
Or for Cowbell....
+Alan Angel Ooh. Maybe with a girthier tone. Now we’re thinking,
Perhaps a horn with humbuckers... (Hornbuckers?)
Plug the horn into the Angry Driver
The horn has become one of your signature pieces. To get rid of it would be like getting rid of a brand.
you should make a pedal that makes that sound. Good episode idea =)
Name-drop Horn T-shirt!!!
northof50now I
Hi, I'm Frank, and I'm a pedal addict... thanks to Dan and Mick!
Jeez, I've just gotten past the seed planted on Joey Landreth's last visit- by ordering both a Jesse Davey "Duellist" and "Vintage Fuzz"... and now you bring this little beast on the show!
Gotta say, this "Angry Driver" has some very cool tones in it!
Also, really enjoyed some of the panel discussions from GuitCon this past week. You gentleman represented the pedal community proudly
+Francis Gori Thank you Francis. GuitCon was truly awesome. We made some great new friends. :0)
This is such a great pedal for my nano board. Lots of sound in one pedal. Plus having the Jack for a switch to go between the models is awesome. ❤
The upper mids and compression on the Guv'nor, especially with any chord or multi-tone thing, is so impressive and valve like. They really nailed that combination of sag/compression/harmonics
On that note - I just picked up an analogman KOT (finally, wait was up) and courtesy of this shows information, and that pedal does that too. It really splits difference between pedals that work for a sound and pedals that work for YOUR sound
I think both of You guys played really really well on this episode. You seem fresh and inspired. JB-2 sounds great. And that old Guv'nor.....amazing....
+wolfhorsky cheers Mr Wolf ;)
Yup. Sounds really good. I like the AC into BD best!
That was some awesome playing by both of you guys but especially Mick. The JB-2 is an awesome pedal, I want one :)
Thanks guys! Very helpful!
I love that modded Blues Driver, we need an episode on it!
excellent video and great inclusion of the extra pedals. extremely upset about going to have to miss Minnesota.
Man that opening solo that Mick did sounded really good. Really nice straight up guitar tone. Best sound I have heard him use. Good playing too. I agree, "fine form".
Mick - you have become a Really Incredible Guitar Player ( since the earlier episodes of TPS ). Really Tasty Guitar Playing. You 2 are so Amazing together. I Hope & Pray - This Show Never Ends. Love you guys & Enjoy every Informative episode. Keep the Horn ( be True to what made you this Successful, & so well liked ) . - Michael Caz - NYC -
Boss Angry Driver seems like a steal. And yes PLEASE keep the horn! love it!
Definitely don't see enough of the Lester these days! Great to see and hear it back
Another GREAT vid! I know you've already done a video for the Electron Analog Drive, but I think another one to see if it could come close to your all-time favorite boosts/drives/distortions pedals would be awesome. And....KEEP THE HORN!!!
Only recently came across the Blues Driver, and have to say,- something you confirm here,- I prefer it over all the MANY boutiques I've tried in the past decade.The only thing I've been equally impressed with are the Bondi Sick As(gold AND blue versions)and more recent Breakers.
Not sure which will ultimately win out, but ,- sort of ironically here,- it's a rather pricey JHS that they'll be bumping.Interesting enough, I find my board condensing and becoming less dear, the more I learn and experience.
Mick!!!! What a opening lick man!! Killer
+Carmen Rago Thank you Carmen, much appreciated.
I love parallel drive, especially for bass distortion. On my rig, I have a mid-pushed fuzz and a slightly mid-scooped overdrive in parallel, and the sound is huge
I spent years thinking the only overdrives for me were various incarnations of a tube screamer but on the recommendation of this channel I bought a blues driver this week and I am never looking back!
+Chris Wills Mick and Dan have long espoused the Blues Driver: check out their three-part “Ultimate Overdrives” series, which they made in collaboration with Guitarist Magazine (you can find it in my “That Pedal Show” playlist).
+Chris Wills Cheers Chris, and Rob. One of the main inspirations for the D&M Drive was to have both styles in one box. Not exact clones - far from it - but both ballparks. They’re so complimentary.
That intro called me back after all these months!
Dan complains about the sound of a parallel drive with the gain up, followed by one of the greatest overdrive sounds I've heard on a demo.
Dan: "Never mind what I said. That sounds awesome!"
I agree!! Great pedal!
Local store just ordered one of these bad boys. Can't wait to check it out myself!
put the horn on a t-shirt?
With what (I hope) they got paid to endorse that BOSS JHS POS... Hopefully they've removed the rubber bit and are snorting copious amounts of peruvian pink through it.
@@007Elvisofnazareth it sounds pretty good to me .... and they probably only got a few free pedals out of it (which they obviously need, for wallpaper!)
Nice impression of Andy's style and arrangement Mick, it sounded very good.
In case this helps anyone watching: I have a JB-2 and a non-modded regular blues driver as well as a Waza blues driver. In my opinion, the two blues drivers sound almost identical except the Waza one has an extra mode and a better buffer, which makes it sound slightly clearer when on, and invisible, to my ears anyway, when off. I think the blues driver side of the JB-2 perfectly nails the sound of the blues drivers, but I think the JB-2 has the better buffer. I can't comment on the accuracy of the angry charlie side, because I don't own an angry charlie, but I really like that side of the JB-2 and the two sides compliment each other well. :-)
The Xoctic BB plus also allows A into B or B into A and separate controls for hard or soft compression on each side also and that's been out for a long while
Awesome show guys \m/
Oh yes! That’s been my main distortion for years so I just picked up an Angry Driver to compare! I love my BB Plus, but it tends to be pretty noisy so I’m hoping to get the same tone with this but cleaner.
Sounds epic. Really good with both guitars.
Love your show guys keep up the great work
Some nice licks all round tonight gents. Much enjoyed
The quality of product you guys put out every week is phenomenal! I look forward to Friday now in a new way. Keep up the shwang. Cheers!
As soon as I got cell data back, you guys were the first channel I went for. You made me crack up for the first time in a week after Hurricane Maria destroyed half of my house up in the mountains of Puerto Rico. Thanks for all you gentlemen do. The world is a better place.
+Ramón Gómez Aponte OMG! Thanks Ramon, so sorry to hear about your house, I trust you and yours are all ok?
Thanks for asking. Yes, family and friends all ok. On Tuesday, I shuttered my place and moved to my mom's so that I could help her out and take refuge from the storm. Good thing I did because the winds were so strong in the highlands that a narrow wall of the house was hinged open. From that moment on, the force of the winds blew open the roof structure as if an explosive charge had been placed in the living room. Miraculously, the other half of the house held and 99% of my belongings were in perfect shape. I am one of the very few fortunate ones.
On Friday 22nd, I heard over the only AM radio station that was left standing that Road 156 was "open". So I decided to head up on Saturday. The farm looked as if it had been bombed, but as the initial shock faded a bit and I walked into my house by the collapsed wall I noticed something remarkable. My grandfather's classical guitar that hung on that same wall, had been gently placed on the ground and was in perfect shape. Did not even break a string. I took that as a very good omen. As I write this, it has been 10 days since the hurricane, and I just noticed that all the trees that I can see from here, have little green shoots coming out of the branches that survived. So the takeaway from all of this is that as long as we are alive, everything can be rebuilt. Perhaps we should repurpose that oft quoted saying: keep calm and pedal on.
Ramón Gómez Aponte That is touching and please don't think I meant this sarcastic in any way. I sincerely hope you can rebuild your home to a satisfying level. I can't do anything for you and Puerto Rico, since I am on the other side of the pond. Thoughts go out to you, your family and those in need. Thoughts and some coins I have.
My, you two are on fire today!!
The JB-2 is a superb pedal which has it all. You need the remote switch to fully utilize it.
Awesome jam with Phil X at GuitCon, you guys sounded ace. Great vocals as well Mick
Can't wait to watch this!
Love me my gov'nor. so versatile. Sometimes I have it early in the chain as an overdrive, or after a drive pedal and crank the gain as a distortion. Currently gov ----> rat clone ----->firefly fuzz. Just. Phreekin. Killer.
The bit when you had both running into each other with high gain was the best sound
I love that strat so so so much
+Luca Ldf Me too. Thank you!
Cool, I love the Blues driver because it can be really clear and is great to be used as a boost to cut thru the mix. The Blues driver is also my secret weapon on my Acoustic board. I just took my TS off my electric board and replaced it with a Blues driver. Did that because Dan in one vid said he still had it on his board. It just works. I stack it with an OCD if I need more. Really interested in this video of combining a couple of your favorite pedals into one.
I just snagged one of these this past weekend. Looking forward to messing around with it after work today or tomorrow at band practice. That parallel mode sounds great. Just what I'm looking for
Yep I thought I'd like the parallel mode. It sounds the best. Now I need one.
The JB-2 is absolutely brilliant, that parallel mode sounds incredible (great playing from both of you helps quite a bit make it shine btw) ! Interesting how Rabea's demo showed another (equally good side) of the pedal. And the Guv'nor...well, it's all over Still Got The Blues. Which in itself is reason enough to consider it a legendary piece of item. Still the best Marshall-in-a-box pedal ever produced, IMO.
I'm stunned by the sheer range of playable sounds the JB-2 can conjure. With both the Blues Driver and Angry Charlie sides on, plus the AC side dimed, you're getting into real Smashing Pumpkins territory. Modern pedals like this (along with the D&M drive) exhibit an immediacy yet functional flexibility that allow a player to construct very idiosyncratic sounds without diving into endless menus. Stomps that combine two distinct but interactive elements like this could sit at the very heart of a guitarists board and change the wider game in a subtle but profound way. Magic stuff.
Plus, what you do with your horn is your own business. :-)
+Simon Godfrey Eloquent and bang on the money Simon. Gain stacking is everything. :0)
Thanks a lot. Another damn pedal I'll probably buy.
The horn is awesome, never get rid of it.
Great show again...
Great upload and a TOP review
Btw Since my Angry Driver have sold off SD1 OD1w DN2 and BD2 -
I just have to say Mick! your guit-con hey joe rendition was brilliant! blew me away. well done. And Dan slapping the bass excellent seasoning! well done guys please pepper us more often with delicious live performances. cheers.
Killing it again, Mick!!!
And Dan, where did you pull those runs out from at 18:24?
Loaded up TPS with perfect timing! :D
Great playing & sounds gents (as always), the parallel mode on that JB-2 is something special for sure! Time to get onto Mr Keeley & see about a D&M Drive V2 with parallel ability 😉
Also, DO NOT GET RID OF THE HORN. Mount it! 📯
Mick your rifts have been extraordinary lately. I re-listened to the opening bit, such a nice bit of noise
+Angelo Sorce Thank you kindly sir. It was an inspiring sound today. Same old licks, but it’s okay. I’ve decided to just do what feels right. Cheers!
I have 4 different rig/pedal set ups with each board having betreen 5-12 pedals. After injuring my back I can't do the "pedal stoop" and its also a good way to ding your guitar. I placed the largest board on a 3 ft table in front of my confie chair and tweak away. No more top of the head shots and all that bending over. U guys should try it.
That parallel mode is killer! I could see running the JHS side a little hotter and the Blues Driver almost clean with more volume, to give you some edge without losing your fundamental! Also, when Mick picked up that Telecaster my brain exploded.
I steal a lot of riffs from this show lol. Keep them coming!
That original Guv'nor sounds amazing!
I built a DIY Gov’nor after seeing it on this show. This week I bought a Waza BD after watching enough of your vids. Now this. Guess I need to work out a small mixer so I can get that parallel tone happening.
I want this pedal!!
Mick, awesome job on the AT version of She's Leaving Home! I love that version!! Nice playing as always.
+Jim Valver Ah, when I’m awake I can make it sound half decent. Long time! Andy’s version though. Holy moly. Brings me to tears.
Very moving piece of music. Love the show, you guys are great. On the edge of my seat hoping for a Greg Koch episode. Cheers!
Those Eric Johnson arpeggios are getting faster! Nice work Mick.
dudes cheers from hawaii
you guys never disappoint me
+DUSTY THOMPSON Aloha Dusty! Mahalo.
If you guys get rid of the HORN, I'm jumping off a cliff...You guys are LIVING my DREAM. Please keep continuing on...
+Greg Doerr ah, easy tiger ;) horn is staying 👍
I thought that parallel mode was the only inspiring sound from that pedal and makes for a great rhythm sound. Otherwise I prefer the flexibility that the three band eq On the AC v 3 offers. Cheers guys, thanks for doing that.
Visual Sound / Truetone was doing their V3 dual pedals (which they helped popularize in the 90's in the first place) with the switchable order feature 5 years ago. No one noticed, because no one ever gives them a fair shake. Funny to see so much of what they already did "trending" so often.
Makes me want a Guv'nor
I have done some parallel(ing) before using a Boss LS-2. A great tone in my opinion. Will need to look very seriously at the Angry Driver.
The intro to every That Pedal Show:
Tasty licks, fiddles with the pedals a bit, "Gary Moore" face, playing ends, pause... chuffed nod at each other and a polite compliment.
"I was having a schwang with it before, sounds ace!" Haha good one Dan.
Ever since I got a 5E3 clone and loved the sound of the channels jumped, I've been going down this parallel pedal road. Finally got a Boss ES-5 which lets me do 1 parallel connection with 2 loops. Haven't been playing much lately but after watching you demo the Angry Driver parallel mode, I need to get to playing! When I finally get a D&M drive, I should be able to do this with the TRS jacks right?
