Description

Power and Versatility In a Very Compact Footprint In response to the need for many guitarists to add a second, smaller pedal board to their rig, we developed the JangleBox JB Nano. Here’s the approach we took to the specific requirements of our customers:

You want the foot-switch access to the treble boost of a JangleBox, Byrds 50th, or JBX, but don't need the EQ or other stuff? (And don't want to spend the extra $$$). The JB Nano is your pedal.

You want to keep the JangleBox sound in your rig, but real estate space on your pedal board is getting tight. Swap your regular JangleBox for a JB Nano on your pedal board and leave the JB in your studio.

You've been curious to try the legendary "double compression" recording technique used by Roger McGuinn in the Byrds, but don't want two, full-sized compressors. Here's your chance to do it with a small footprint.

You're a musician who uses only a JangleBox and a maybe second pedal — overdrive or delay, for instance. If that's your set-up, then forget about a pedal board altogether and just throw a JB Nano in your guitar case.

This is one pocket rocket that delivers well above its weight class. The JB Nano with dynamic treble boost is an indispensable compressor you don't want to be without.

Dimensions: 4.39” x 2.34” x 1.06” (112mm x 60mm x 27mm) Power adapter: 9V, 100mA, 2.1mm x 5.5mm barrel, pin-negative (not included).
