Oats and Molasses – VB-2 Black
Blacked out inside and out. Send and return jacks to put an effect between the two boost stages.
The VB-2 is a two stage boost/overdrive/fuzz which can be used to add texture and grit to just about any instrument. It excels at handling large bassy signals like drum machines, synths, overdriven guitar, and bass. It will add some nice warmth and fuzziness to whatever you put through it.
This special edition pedal contains all black components, a black circuit board, black engraved enclosure, and black knobs.
The send and return jacks are only active when a plug is inserted. Normal operation is exactly the same as the original VB-2 when using only the Input and Output jacks on the top of the enclosure.
Stereo operation is possible by sending the signal as follows: Left signal into the Input jack, and out the Send jack (controlled by Volume and Bias 1). Right signal into the Return jack, and out the Output jack (controlled by Volume and Bias 2). This configuration only works when the pedal is on, and will not pass your stereo dry signal when the pedal is off.
Any effect can be put into the send/return loop and will be turned on/off in conjunction with the VB-2. Volume and Bias 1 will control the gain into the effect, and Volume and Bias 2 will control the gain after the effect.
Controls for Volume and Bias of two gain stages.
