SKU: JHS3DISTORTION

Product Description

JHS Pedals are renowned for tonal excellence. Their premium stompboxes are packed full of gizmos galore and options aplenty - but they've taken a very different approach with the 3 Series Distortion. These affordable effects have been stripped back for pure, unadulterated JHS tone suited to both beginners and pros alike.

Raw JHS Pedals tone

Gone are the array of dials found throughout the standard JHS pedal line-up. What you're getting here is a refined, quality sound thanks to high-end electronic components and meticulous attention to detail from the Kansas City company. This is the ultimate plug-and-play pedal.

Sound

Distortion and drive are firmly in JHS' wheelhouse - the 3 Series Distortion being no exception. Crammed into the analogue pedal are a host of medium gain crunch tones, thick overdrive, distortion, and even some fuzzy goodness. You get a lot out of the three volume, filter and distort controls. Filter is like a one-knob EQ, setting the treble attack when turned up or darker character reduced.

Unique to the Series 3 Distortion is a gain voicing toggle, which changes how the effect reacts to your playing.

I'm a long-time Rat user and to my ears, this is definitely an upgrade to what was already arguably the greatest and most flexible distortion pedal of all time. Everything from clean/treble boost (actually my most used Rat setting) to crunch and fuzz. I haven't really touched the toggle-down setting so far! Vs. my 2008ish Rat feels a tiny bit more "amp-like" in response and harmonics but also I prefer the build quality and pedalboard-friendly size. This one's a keeper!

Always promised myself a JHS pedal and the new 3 series range has made that possible so well pleased. Great pedal with a wide range of distortion settings so very versatile. Also very well made casing and controls. Which pedals next though?!!
