BOSS VB-2W Vibrato Waza Craft Pedal
True vibrato expression, reimagined with Waza Craft innovation
First released in 1982, the original VB-2 Vibrato was ahead of its time. Although it slipped under the radar back then, its bold, pitch-shifted sound has since become a favourite among modern players looking to craft unique textures with their effects. Now one of the most sought-after BOSS pedals on the vintage market, the VB-2 has been beautifully revived in the VB-2W – a Waza Craft edition that stays true to the original while offering exciting new features.
Using an all-analogue circuit and classic BBD (bucket brigade) technology, the VB-2W delivers the rich, expressive pitch modulation that made the original so special. In addition to the faithful Standard mode, a brand-new Custom mode introduces a fresh vibrato voice with a distinctive filter wave, adding even more creative potential.
Real-time control is also on offer, with options like expression pedal support, a Rise Time knob to shape how the effect fades in, and an Unlatch mode for momentary vibrato bursts. Whether you're adding subtle shimmer or bold warble, the VB-2W offers unmatched vibrato depth and versatility in a premium, compact format.
