The New JangleBox JB2
We were preparing a January launch, but due to website delays and a tremendous holiday backorder of JangleBoxes (which we're still scrambling to fill), we're delaying until later this month.
But, as the cat is now out of the bag, I'll fill you in a bit about our new product—
For those familiar with the original JangleBox, we kept the same solid, die-cast aluminum construction, and our basic approach to expanding the compression “sweet spot.” You'll get the same beautiful bright, ringing chime and clean, even tone. And, most importantly, the JangleBox commitment to quality build and premium components.
Other specs:
- • True bypass, like the original JangleBox.
• Pin negative polarity so it’s compatible with the vast majority of power supplies. NOT like the JangleBox’s pin-positive polarity.
• Separate EQ controls for treble and bass.
• The JangleBoost (same as the “Bright” toggle setting on the original JangleBox). It’s now a separate, preset override on/off foot switch.
• The Level knob controls the JangleBoost gain. We purposely didn’t label it as a second “Gain” so as to avoid confusion.
• Two different-colored LEDs to indicate when the JangleBoost is activated.
• The same chip as used in the JangleBox so you get the identical voicing and compression “squish”.
These features were added to the JB2 with a mind toward enhancing live performance. Use it as a straight compressor, a clean boost, a treble boost, or a “boost-on-boost.”
Rather than follow the current trend of increasingly small and cramped pedals, JB2 is a box with ample “real estate” (6.8" long x 4.7" wide x 2.2" deep) so performers can clearly check all knob settings, and make adjustments on the fly while on stage.
Opening retail will be $275. We hope to begin taking orders in the next few weeks.
