BOSS AND JHS TEAM UP WITH
THE ANGRY DRIVER
Boss and JHS have teamed up to deliver
one of each company’s most iconic dirt
boxes with a slew of routing options. The
Angry Driver takes the low-gain crunch
of the Boss Blues Driver and the high-
gain tones of the JHS Angry Charlie and
lets you dial in each circuit just the way
you want, then route them in series and
parallel in either way you choose.
KEELEY EQUIPS THE SUPER PHAT
MOD WITH SOME NEW METAL
The Germanium Super Phat Mod takes
the original Boss Blues Driver circuit,
mods it to the same Keeley specs
that the man’s been making for years,
then swaps out some of the more
common silicon parts for two NOS
AC128 germanium transistors. The
resulting overdrive tone is a little more
compressed and undeniably more warm
and mojo-laden.
BANANANA DROPS THE BASS
WITH THE MATRYOSHKA
The Bananana Matroyshka gives you a
seemingly never-ending array of bass
synthesis, letting you unwrap layer after
layer in a tiny package. You start by
dialing in any one of eight modes that
lend a distinct quality to the synthesis,
but then you can adjust everything from
the clean mix, synth volume, octave mix
and a mode-specific knob that expands
the functions.
