[Vibrato, an unconventional effect brought back to life through technical craftsmanship] The VB-2, the most unique model in the Boss Compact series, debuted in 1982, ahead of its time. After several decades, the VB-2 is once again gaining attention. The advanced nature of the original VB-2, which was at the cutting edge at the time, included a new vibrato mode that gave unprecedented fluctuations, and a real-time control function that matched modern usage. I was reborn.
