Über die Jahre hat sich das Morning Glory zweifellos zum bekanntesten und meistgepriesenen JHS Pedal entwickelt. Er wurde ursprünglich in 2009 aus Bedarf an einem Overdrive Pedal entwickelt, das den Sound eines Amps nimmt und ihn aufs nächste Level katapultiert ohne Mitten und den Klangcharakter eines TS-Style Overdrives hinzuzufügen. Das Ziel war ein einfaches Pedal, verdammt transparent – nicht mehr nicht weniger. Egal ob du Strat oder Paula spielst, du wirst sofort feststellen wie gut das Morning Glory auf deine Spieldynamik anspricht und das Feel deines Instruments dabei 100 % intakt lässt.

Over the years the Morning Glory is undoubtedly JHS’ most known and praised overdrive pedal. It was created in 2009 out of a need for an overdrive pedal that simply took a guitar and amplifier’s tone to the next level without adding strong mid frequencies or any other characteristic that came along with the Tubescreamer style circuits on the market. Its goal was, and still is, to be incredibly easy to use and to be the most transparent overdrive out there. Whether you play a Stratocaster or a Les Paul, you will instantly recognize how the Morning Glory is touch sensitive and keeps 100% of your instrument’s feel in place.

Morning Glory v4

When most people hear the name "Tonebender," they think Vox. Even though Sola Sound released the Tonebender from London in 1965, it was, in fact, Vox who a year later mass-produced the circuit from Italy. VOX mass distributed this pedal worldwide alongside their iconic products like the AC30 amplifier and Wah pedal, making it a recognized product for guitarists everywhere. The earliest version of the Vox Tonebender circuit (1966-1968) is very similar to the 1.5 Tonebender and the Arbiter Fuzz Face, but it is much more aggressive and sharp in tone. This circuit lies nicely between the thick and wooly Arbiter and the bright and cutting Rangemaster boost. Many consider this the perfect middle of the road germanium fuzz that can give you a powerful yet articulate fuzz tone. This circuit has a lower output volume than many fuzzes, so it is normal to have the volume near maxed.I advise maxing out the Attack control as well and using your guitar's volume as a gain control! 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 Italy's 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 Italy 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. 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.

1966 Series Italy

Anfang 1984 veröffentlichte BOSS zwei seltsame neue Geräte unter dem Namen "The Pocket Series". Eines dieser Geräte war der FA-1 FET Preamp, der schnell seinen rechtmäßigen Platz unter den Klanglegenden fand, als The Edge of U2 ihn bei der Aufnahme von "Unforgettable Fire" verwendete und ihn in seine nachfolgenden Touring-Rigs stellte. Der Clover Preamp / Boost ist eine JHS Interpretation des FA-1, jedoch mit einigen zusätzlichen Funktionen, die diese erstaunliche Schaltung noch besser machen. Du wirst bei deinen Gigs  nicht auf diesen glücklichen Tonformer verzichten wollen! Der Clover ist eine End-All-Preamp / Boost für akustische und E-Gitarren und Bässe. Der EQ ist einfach, kraftvoll und lässt keinen schlechten Klang zu. Während der Clover sich als Vorstufe / Boost für Dirt-Pedale auszeichnet, liegt sein Zauber darin, deinen Tube-Amp in den natürlichen Overdrive zu treiben. Mit dem EQ kannst du deinen persönlichen Sweet Spot einstellen, an dem dein Verstärker nachgibt. Schiebe deinen kleinen Low-Watt Amp in natürlichen Overdrive und Distortion oder finde Sounds in stärkeren Amps, die du noch nie gehört hast. Strat- und Tele-Spieler können mit dem Clover mehr Schlagkraft, Tiefe und Dynamik erreichen, wie sie mit Single Coil Pickups normalerweise nicht möglich sind, während Les Pauls und Humbucker Klarheit, Biss und Definition in Hülle und Fülle erlangen! Von Country, Rock, Metal bis hin zu Akustik… Der Clover deckt alles  ab. Finde deinen unvergesslichen Tone mit dem Glück des Klees!

In early 1984 BOSS released two strange new devices under the name "The Pocket Series". One of those devices was the FA-1 FET Preamp and it quickly found its rightful place among the legends of tone when The Edge of U2 used it on the recording of "Unforgettable Fire" as well as placing it in his following touring rigs. The Clover Preamp/Boost is JHS' faithful interpretation of the FA-1 but with several additional features that they believe make this amazing circuit even better. You won't want to be without your lucky tone-shaper at any gig! The Clover is an end all preamplifier / boost circuit for any electric, acoustic, or bass player. The EQ is simple, powerful and doesn't allow a bad sound. While the Clover excels at being a preamp / boost for dirt pedals, the magic is in pushing your tube amplifier into natural overdrive. The EQ lets you hit the exact spot that your amp is naturally prone to give in at. Push your small wattage amp into natural rich overdrive and distortion or find sounds in your larger more powerful wattage amp that you have never heard before. Strat and Tele players can use the Clover to create extra punch, depth and dynamics that single coil pickups can't normally achieve, while Les Paul and humbucker players can find clarity, bite and definition galore! From country, rock, metal and even acoustic… The Clover covers every base. Find your unforgettable tone with the luck of the Clover!

In 2011, we released the Panther Analog Delay. Almost exactly two years later in 2013, we tried a nearly impossible feat of taking everything we love about the Panther Delay, making a few improvements, and packaging it into an enclosure half the size. Today in 2018 we're repeating the feat and making the Panther Cub V2 half the size once again!

What's New on the V2?

- Half the size of the Panther Cub V1 and Panther Cub V1.5
- Fully Wet Mix now available
- Gain Control to set overall volume
- Even smoother oscillation and run-away
- Active EQ, which functions at a Tilt style EQ

Panther Cub V2

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.
