Expecting the RRP to be ridiculous, Matt?

Looking at sweetwaters pricing, US $299 RRP, their price $199, the BD-2W is US $209 RRP, their price US $149 and it's NZ $269 here so I figure the JB-2 will therefore be about $349 here? ouch.

Well an Angry Charlie is NZ$329, and a BD-2W is NZ$269. So $349 beats $598 right?

For sure, it's good value, but when I think boss I think more affordable alternative.

I don't have a horse in this race but the remote switching options put a bit more value back into it too. We get treated to Midi switching for a lot of DSP but rarely for analog drive/boost pedals

60s England. Maybe they stole it.
Or it was "just in the studio".
