The JHS The Violet is a Lari Basillo signature distortion pedal featuring a 3-way pre-distortion EQ with sweepable parametric mids. This allows for the creation of both mid-scooped and mid-heavy tones, although the pre-gain placement in the circuit delivers subtler changes.
The Treble and Bass EQ controls are instead placed after the distortion, a more traditional configuration.
Lari Basillo is an influential and in demand Brazilian guitarist who, in recent past, has also released also a signature guitar with Ibanez – also purple.
