Mit dem JHS Pedals Summing Amp habst du die Möglichkeit, zwei Eingangssignale in einem Ausgangssignal zu mischen. Dies ist ideal, um Effekte parallel zu betreiben, so dass sie nicht voneinander beeinflusst werden. The Edge verwendete diese Technik beispielsweise in den 80er Jahren mit seinen Delays. Wenn du ein Viertel-Delay und ein Punktierte-Achtel Delay hast und beide gleichzeitig benutzen möchtest, kannst du sie mit dem Summing Amp zusammen führen und die Delays des einen Pedals werden nicht weiter vom anderen verzögert. Er kann auch mit Overdrives verwendet werden damit sich diese nicht gegenseitig pushen. Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, Fuzz und Kompressor parallel zu kombinieren, damit das Fuzz nicht durch die Kompression zerdrückt wird. Mit dem Summing Amp hast du die Möglichkeit, Effekte auf völlig neue Art und Weise zusammen zu nutzen, die du dir vielleicht nie vorgestellt hast. Und der JHS Summing Amp eröffnet dir mit deinen alten Effekten völlig neue und inspirierende Klänge.

The JHS Pedals Summing Amp gives you the ability to take two inputs and blend them into one output. This is perfect for putting effects in parallel so that they are not affected by one another. The Edge used this technique in the 80s with his delays. When you have a quarter note delay and a dotted eighth delay and you place them in parallel then sum them back together, the effect is that both delays come through more clearly and are not "delaying the delays". This can also be used with overdrives so that they are not pushing each other as in series, but sit atop one another in parallel. Another use is combining fuzz and compression in parallel so the fuzz isn't getting choked by the compression. The Summing Amp gives you the ability to use effects together in completely new ways that you may never have imagined and can open up new and inspiring sounds with your old effects.

Summing Amp

In 1962 the worlds first manufactured guitar pedal was introduced in the Maestro Fuzz-Tone. Three years later in 1965, it made its way across the pond from the USA to the hands of a British engineer named Gary Hurst in London. The legend has it that he was asked by a London session player to modify the circuit for more bass and better sustain. After some tweaking, the Tonebender was born. The Tonebender MKI was a three transistor circuit as was the following MKII that came later in 1966. Decades after the Tonebenders heyday of the 1960s, a collector named Dennis Johannsen realized that his 60's era Tonebeder had only two transistors, not three. This discovery caused a puzzling situation because all Tonebender circuits through MKIV are a three transistor design. Through further investigation, it came to light in an interview with Gary Hurst that he did make a very small batch of two transistor Tonebenders in February and March of 1966. Dennis Johannsen named his discovery the MK1.5, and it is one of the rarest pedals ever produced, a collectors dream. The Arbiter Fuzz face that came in late 1966 is an almost direct clone as well as various other two-transistor fuzz circuits of the era. The MK1.5 is a true legend of guitar that almost went unnoticed to history. The sound of this fuzz is very aggressive, full of low end, and sustain. You may also notice a slight velcro-ish type decay as notes decay off in extreme settings. As with most classic fuzz pedals, it loves a dirty amp or overdrive afterward in the signal path. Staying true to the original, I used high-grade carbon composition resistors, oversized capacitors, and two germanium transistors that I hand-matched to the circuit. 

Each small batch of Benders will use different transistors as it is challenging to find reliable sources of these devices in large quantities. The circuit uses vintage positive ground voltage, so do not daisy chain your power with other pedals. Inside the pedal is a battery snap or use any isolated power supply with a normal polarity power cable like your other pedals as I have wired it internally to work that way. The Bender is identical to the original except that I adjusted the taper of the pots to feel more intuitive. I also added a single power supply filter capacitor to help with noise and adjusted one resistor value for more volume. The switching is true-bypass. Each pedal in this batch is built-in identical form, but because of parts tolerances and the slight variance in the transistors, they will all be a bit different while still being the same. Be sure to always have this pedal first in your signal chain; the guitar must be plugged into its input due to the impedance it requires on its input, no exceptions.

Der JHS Spring Tank Reverb ist ein echter Amp-Style Spring Reverb im kompakten Gehäuse. Er ist ausgestattet mit zwei unabhängigen und schaltbaren Reverb Mix Reglern, Tank 1 als primärer und Tank 2 als sekundärer Reverb Mix, zu dem du mit dem Tank 2 Fußschalter umschalten kannst. So hast du zwei Reverb Mix Optionen jederzeit griff-/trittbereit. Die Regler für Depth (Größe des Hallraums), Length (Länge der Hallfahnen), Highs (Tone der Hallfahnen) und Boost (gesamt Tone des Reverb Sounds) lassen dich den perfekten Reverb Tone für deinen Sound kreieren. Dem noch nicht genug, verfügt der JHS Spring Tank Reverb über einen Effektloop, sodass du die Reverb Trails mit zusätzlichen Effekten versehen kannst!

The JHS Spring Tank Reverb is a true amp style spring reverb in a compact size pedal. It is equipped with 2 independent and switchable reverb mix controls, the Tank 1 as the main reverb mix and the Tank 2 as the secondary, engaged by the Tank 2 switch. So you have two reverb mix options on the fly! The controls for Depth (adjusts the size of the room), Length (controls how long the reverb reverberates), Highs (controls the tone of the reverb) and Boost (adjusts your overall tone) will let you create the perfect reverb tone for your sound, but if that is not enough for you, the JHS Spring Tank Reverb has an effects loop so you can put any effect on the reverb tails you desire!

Spring Tank

In 2017, Josh built his longtime friend and session / touring guitarist Mason Stoops a one-off Superbolt with a unique taco graphic. The taco icon was a reference to the jam sessions / taco nights they often attended together in LA.

The practice of giving a custom built pedal as a gift was normal in the JHS world, but something far less normal happened when Stoops plugged it in: he noticed a glitch. The internal bias trim pots had never been properly adjusted, resulting in a wildly unbiased sound that Stoops instantly adored. No longer an overdrive, and somewhere between a fuzz and a blown-out Tweed amp, the TacoBolt was the definition of a happy accident. Over the years this sound has become a staple of Stoops’s work and piqued the curiosity of his collaborators. In 2024, we have recreated this serendipitous circuit with the last remaining (now discontinued) Superbolt materials in the limited edition JHS TacoBolt.

Tacobolt

The Honey Comb Deluxe gives you true vintage analog tone and ease of operation that will open up a new palette of sounds reminiscent of early Fender blackface and vintage Vox tremolo circuits from years gone by. The only difference is that this one has those over the top options for the more demanding trem-o-holic. JHS start by giving you an extra LED for the rate speed that stays on even when the pedal is in bypass. This allows a constant monitor on your speed. The next thing we do is add a second footswitch that allows you to alternate between two independently controlled speed knobs! This is like having two tremolos in one enclosure.
