JHS Morning Glory Clean Overdrive V4

The Morning Glory Clean is not a new pedal. It is the same Bluesbreaker-style overdrive JHS has been building for years, but with one significant architectural change: a parallel clean blend integrated at the circuit level rather than tacked on as an afterthought. Most clean blends are simple mix knobs.…... Click for more

Updated Pedal: JHS NOTADÜMBLË V2 Pedal Kit

The original JHS NOTADÜMBLË was a beautiful disaster. JHS accidentally loaded the John Mayer BBC-1 preamp into the clean side instead of the intended "Box It Later" buffer.

JHS Fumble JFET Preamp

New Pedal: JHS Coyote Fuzz

New Pedal: Electro-Harmonix by JHS Big Muff 2

Archaeology in the analog domain rarely yields such a consequential artifact. Unearthed from a trove of personal archives during research for the forthcoming Electro-Harmonix tome, the Big Muff 2 is not a revision but a resurrected parallel evolution—a spectral blueprint from the mind of original inventor Bob Myer, finally realized…...

JHS Flight Delay

With the new Flight modulated delay, the folks at JHS make a little step closer to complexity, perhaps pointing to a future less dominated by their extremely successful "less is more" approach to stompboxes. Its digital and reverse mode also indicate an attempt to expand the brand's appeal to a…... Click for more

JHS Morning Glory Overdrive

The pedal that put the Kansas City builder on the map, the JHS Morning Glory has probably become more famous than the pedal it's inspired by: the Marshall Blues Breaker - maybe even more popular than the legendary Analogman King of Tone, another Blues Breaker variant. This type of overdrive…... Click for more
