In den 1990er Jahren machte ein Effektpedal-Hersteller aus England auf sich aufmerksam - mit Ideen abseits des Mainstreams und Sounds, die noch heute als 'legendär' bezeichnet werden. Innerhalb kürzester Zeit fanden sich die Pedale in den Setups von The Edge (U2), Jimmy Page, Radiohead, Kevin Sheilds (My Bloody Valentine), Jeff Tweedy (Wilco), Gary Moore und vielen anderen und die Preise auf dem Gebrauchtmarkt steigen heute teilweise über 800 $. Mit dem Cheese Ball bietet JHS Pedals jetzt eine akkurate Nachbildung der legendären Lovetone Big Cheese Schaltung und das Pedal hält was der Name verspricht! Neben den klassischen Reglern für Volume, Gain und Tone kommt das Effektpedal mit einem 4-Wege Mode-Schalter, der zwischen verschiedenen Tone- und Gain-Settings wählt. In der 'Off' Position wird der Tone-Regler deaktiviert und das Pedal erzeugt einen hellen, bissigen Fuzz / Distortion Sound. In der '1' Position liefert der Cheese Ball einen Sound mit Mid-Scoop, der an satte Big Muff Verzerrung erinnert. Position '2' bietet einen Mid-Boost der sich durch jeden Mix schneidet und Position '3' kommt mit einem aggressiven Gated Fuzz Sound, der spuckt, beißt und schreit!

Long ago in a mysterious time that we call the 1990's, a new pedal company was created in England. Its ideas were off the beaten path, and its sounds were otherworldly. Despite existing only a few short years, these creations became the things of legend and one product in particular cast the biggest shadow. With such artists as The Edge (U2), Jimmy Page, Radiohead, Kevin Sheilds (My Bloody Valentine), Jeff Tweedy (Wilco), Gary Moore, and many others using the out-of-production units, their Used market prices have begun to rise more and more, sometimes into the $800 range. The Cheese Ball is JHS Pedals faithful and extremely accurate recreation of the original circuit, it is a tribute to one of the most fascinating brands and circuits of all time! The Cheese Ball has your standard Volume, Gain, and Tone knobs found on most distortion fuzz boxes, but comes with an extra mode selector knob that gives you four different overall tone and gain selections. In the 'off' position, the Tone knob is disengaged, giving you a bright and trashy fuzz / distortion sound. In the '1' position you have a mid-scooped sound that will give you a Big Muff style buzz for a rounded sound reminiscent of fine mozzarella that sits just right on your pizza but doesn’t get in the way. The '2' position is a mid-boost sound that will cut through a mix like a hot knife through Velveeta. Finally, the '3' position gives you a biting, gated fuzz tone that, when cranked, spits, spats, and bites like gorgonzola naturale.

Das JHS Artificial Blonde Madison Cunningham Signature Pedal ist im Grunde eine unkomplizierte Annäherung an Madisons Signature-Sound: ein immer eingeschalteter, leicht dreidimensionaler Vibrato-Sound. Der zweite Fußschalter schaltet zwischen den beiden Speed/Depth Preset-Sektionen um. Dies ist ein echtes Pitch-Vibrato-Modulationspedal mit zwei leicht zugänglichen Modi für den Live-Einsatz. Dieses flexible und charakteristische Vibrato Pedal bietet neben dem globalen Volume Regler einen aktiven Tilt-EQ. Durch Drehen nach links werden die Tiefen angehoben und die Höhen abgesenkt, während durch Drehen nach rechts die Höhen angehoben und die Tiefen abgesenkt werden. Mit dem linken Fußschalter kann der Effekt eingeschaltet werden und mit dem rechten schaltet man das Preset A oder B. Jedes Preset hat die gleiche Speed/Depth Range und ermöglicht zwei verschiedene schaltbare Einstellungen.

The JHS Artificial Blonde Madison Cunningham Signature Pedal is basically a simple approach to Madison's signature sound: an always-on, slightly three-dimensional vibrato sound. The secondary footswitch switches between the two speed/depth preset sections. It is a true pitch vibrato modulation pedal with two easy to access modes for live use. This flexible and distinctive vibrato pedal features an active tilt EQ in addition to the global volume control. Turning it to the left boosts the lows and cuts the highs, while turning it to the right boosts the highs and cuts the lows. The left footswitch turns the effect on and the right one switches preset A or B. Each preset has the same speed/depth range and allows two different switchable settings.

Artificial Blonde

The JHS Hard Drive is the first attempt in our company’s fifteen-year history at a full-blown and respectable modern distortion pedal that is not based on a previous circuit or classic topology. In 2016, Josh had the idea to develop a circuit that covered the best high-gain distortion tones of the ’90s and 2000s, a sound that embodied the post-grunge alternative rock movement. We started by looking at pedals, then amps, and after exploring the typical paths of circuitry, we took a sharp turn and started from scratch. Eight years later, the pedal is finished and ready to take you to the next level. The Hard Drive goes harder and further than any gain or distortion we’ve released so far.

Das JHS Pedals 3 Series Reverb bietet Musikern einen vielseitigen Effekt, der genau das richtige Maß an Raum für die Gitarre bietet. Von einem kleinen, natürlichen Room Hall bis zu beinahe endlosen Ambient-Washes lassen sich alle denkbaren Reverberation-Effekte erzeugen. Der EQ-Regler verändert die Klangtextur des Reverbs und bietet so hellere, klare oder dunklere, wärmere Voicings. Der Decay-Regler bestimmt die Länge der Hallfahne und mit dem Pre-Delay-Schalter lässt sich eine kurze Verzögerung vor dem Einsetzen des Effekts aktivieren um selbst kurze, Slap-ähnliche Echos oder Spring-ähnliche Sounds zu erzeugen. Jedes Pedal der 3 Series wird von JHS Pedals in Kansas City, MO, hergestellt. Wie man es von JHS Pedals kennt, überzeugen auch hier hochwertige Teile, eine zuverlässige Qualitätskontrolle und die Liebe zum Detail. Jedes Pedal kommt mit drei einfachen Regelmöglichkeiten und einem Schalter, die eine breite Palette an möglichen Sounds bieten und sowohl für Anfänger als auch für Profis geeignet sind.

The JHS Pedals 3 Series Reverb is an extremely versatile unit that allows you to create the perfect amount of space for your guitar. You can achieve any reverberation effect, all the way from small room sounds to nearly endless washes of ambiance.

3 Series Reverb

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.
