The Original!
Copyright 2007 b.y.o.c., LLC
The BOSS VB-2 is one of the most
sought after true pitch vibratos in the
world of vintage guitar effects. With its
true sine wave LFO and "unlatching"
depth ramp feature, the VB-2 is also one
of the most unique and organic sounding
vibratos out there.
The BYOC vibrato kit is a faithful replica
of this famous circuit with one major
upgrade...true bypass! Because the
BYOC vibrato kit has a dedicated bypass
switch AND a dedicated depth ramp
switch, the 3-way rotary knob on the
original (latch, unlatch, bypass) has been
replaced with a depth ramp on/off toggle
switch.

The BYOC vibrato kit features a Carling Technologies heavy
duty non-latching momentary switch for smooth depth ramp
operation and Neutrik heavy duty nylon board mounted jacks to
save space and reduce the difficulty of this very complex build
Since BYOC is the first to offer a commercially available clone of
the VB-2 (and perhaps the first to ever successfully clone it at
all) there was a huge amount of time and effort spent on getting
this pedal right. It was quite an undertaking to acquire the
proper parts. The pedal also went through several prototype
incarnations until a kit was created that not only nailed the
VB-2's unique tone, but had a layout that was both highly
functional (all the jacks are on the top! A first for BYOC) and
was easy enough for a first timer to build despite it's complexity.
