If you are looking at this delay unit, you are probably aware of the great tone and flexibility that these Boss analog units have.  This pedal has been discontinued for many years and cannot be had new anymore, this one has been used and has a few small chips on the paint but it works perfectly and sounds great!!!

Good luck and happy bidding!  Here’s some additional info

 

 

VB-2 Vibrato

The VB-2 pitches the sound up and down to create a vibrato effect. In latch mode, the vibrato effect stays on. In unlatch mode the vibrato is on only when the pedal is pressed. Like the CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, the vibrato effect has its origin in the Roland Jazz Chorus JC-120 amp. It is based around the MN3207 BBD with accompanying MN3102 clock driver. For guitar players who apply finger vibrato without thinking about it, this effect can be difficult to use. Applying two sets of vibrato simultaneously doesn't always sound right. The VB-2 has become quite rare and is now a very sought after compact pedal.

Boss Pocket Dictionary vol.2 (1985):
The VB-2 Vibrato is the world's first and only effect pedal that can add a vibrato effect to any electric or electronic musical instrument, including guitars, keyboards, and bass guitars. In order to produce a true and natural vibrato effect, the compact VB-2 incorporates state-of-the-art circuitry, including a 1024-stage BBD, plus the same VCA and envelope circuits that are used in synthesizers. When used with a guitar, the VB-2 can produce a wide array of smooth and natural vibrato effects ranging from the vibrato sound produced by conventional fingering techniques, to a unique ultra-slow vibrato and deep, high-speed vibrato sounds. And with the unit's unlatch mode which activates the vibrato effect only while the pedal is pressed, the rise time allows the vibrato effect to come in gradually over a period of time (150 msec to 5 seconds) which is variable by means of the Rise Time Control.
