Frequently Asked Questions - VB-2W BOSS

How do I power the VB-2W?
Use a Boss PSA series AC adapter (9V DC, center negative) or a compatible 9V DC power supply. Current draw is 70 mA. Do not use batteries as the pedal does not have a battery compartment.
What is the difference between Vibrato and Rise mode?
In Vibrato mode, the effect is constant and modulated by the Rate and Depth controls. Rise mode adds a delayed vibrato effect: the modulation fades in from dry to fully modulated based on the Rise Time setting.
Is the VB-2W true bypass?
The VB-2W offers both true bypass and buffer bypass options. You can select the bypass mode using the internal DIP switch. True bypass completely disconnects the circuit when off; buffer bypass maintains signal integrity over long cable runs.
Can I use the VB-2W with bass guitar?
Yes, the VB-2W can be used with bass guitar. It has a wide frequency response and works well with bass signals. Adjust the Depth and Rate to taste for subtle or dramatic vibrato on bass.
What is the Rise Time control?
The Rise Time control adjusts the fade-in time of the vibrato effect in Rise mode. Ranging from slow to fast, it determines how quickly the vibrato reaches full intensity after you play a note.
Does the VB-2W have a stereo output?
No, the VB-2W is a mono pedal with a single input and single output. For stereo effects, consider using a second unit or a different Boss pedal.
How do I clean and maintain the VB-2W?
Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Avoid chemical cleaners or abrasives. Keep the jacks and power connector clean. Store in a dry environment away from extreme temperatures.
What replacement parts are available?
Common replacement parts include footswitches, knobs, and jacks. Contact Boss or authorized service centers for genuine parts. The pedal is designed to be repaired by trained technicians.
Can I run the VB-2W on batteries?
No, the VB-2W does not have a battery compartment. It must be powered via an external 9V DC power supply with center negative polarity.
What is the warranty for the VB-2W?
The VB-2W typically comes with a limited warranty (usually 5 years in some regions, but varies by country). Check the included warranty card or Boss website for details specific to your region.

  • 除了VB-2原有的声音,还可以使用由BOSS工程师充分调校的定制音色。

面板说明

DC IN插孔

用于连接电源适配器(PSA系列;另售)。使用电源适配器后,您可以尽情演奏而无需担心电池电量。
* 请仅使用指定的电源适配器(获得CCC认证并满足标准要求的PSA系列,另售),并连接到电压正确的交流插座。切勿使用任何其他电源适配器,否则可能导致故障。
* 如果在装有电池的情况下连接电源适配器,则电源由电源适配器提供。 * 即使您是使用电源适配器供电,但我们仍建议您将电池安装在设备中。这样,即使电源适配器的电源线意外断开,仍可以继续演奏。
