JHS Pedals 3 Series

JHS Pedals just unveiled a budget line of $99 compact stompboxes called 3 Series, comprising seven 3-knob + one toggle effects tackling all the basics: dirt (overdrive, distortion and fuzz), time (delay and reverb), compression and chorus.

According to Mr. JHS, the 3 Series pedals, although affordable, are not clones and they are sturdier than most budget pedals out there.

Here’s a gallery linking to the section dedicated to each pedal:

JHS 3 Series Chorus
$99 - It offers classic chorus and vibrato modulation sounds, with straightforward controls and enough versatility. Delivers from subtle doubling to utterly seasick waves. The Vibe toggle removes the dry signal so that you will have a simple true pitch vibrato.

JHS 3 Series Delay
$99 - A simple 80ms to 800ms delay for everything from slapback to long ambient washes of pad-like echo. The Type toggle allows you to select between a clearer digital-voiced delay and darker analog-voiced delay. It delivers classic bucket brigade runaway when you max out the Repeats knob in the analog-voiced mode.

JHS 3 Series Fuzz
$99 - A versatile fuzz that cleans up well. It straddles the line between vintage and modern with soaring sustain and clear articulation. The Bias knob gives it a more gated sound as you turn it up. The fuzz knob is usable across 100% of the sweep for many different flavors. The Fat toggle engages a bass boost for a more powerful sound.
