1978 wurde in Kalamazoo, MI, eines der vielseitigsten und einflussreichsten Distortion-Pedale aller Zeiten erfunden. Die JHS Pedals PackRat ist die ultimative Hommage an die über 40-jährige Entwicklung der Proco RAT und deren Einfluss auf den Klang der Gitarre. Künstler aller Genres haben die ikonischen Klänge in dieser bescheidenen Blackbox verwendet, um ihre Sounds zu kreieren, darunter Nirvana, John Scofield, Pink Floyd, Metallica, REM, die Eagles, Jeff Beck und Radiohead. Das JHS Pedals PackRat verwendet das gleiche einzigartige digitale Switching-System wie das Muffuletta und das Bonsai, um den Signalweg über 40 einzelne Schalter durch insgesamt 261 Komponenten zu lenken. Das bedeutet, dass in jedem der insgesamt neun wählbaren legendären oder extrem seltenen Modi (OG V1, White Face V3, Turbo V5, BRAT V6, Dirty V7, LA, Landgraff MO'D, Caroline, JHS Mode) vollständig analoge Schaltungen genutzt werden, die die Original-Vorlage bis hin zu den alternden Komponenten perfekt replizieren. 

In 1978, one of the most versatile and influential distortion pedals of all time was invented in Kalamazoo, MI. The JHS Pedals PackRat is the ultimate tribute to the 40+ years of rodent evolution of the Proco RAT and its impact on the guitar's sound. Artists from every genre have used the iconic tones in this unassuming black box to create their sounds, including Nirvana, John Scofield, Pink Floyd, Metallica, REM, the Eagles, Jeff Beck and Radiohead. The JHS Pedals PackRat uses the same unique digital runway system as the Muffuletta and the Bonsai to direct the paths of 261 components through 40 individual switches. This means that when you choose one of the nine legendary or rare modes (OG V1, White Face V3, Turbo V5, BRAT V6, Dirty V7, LA, Landgraff MO'D, Caroline, JHS Mode), you are playing fully analog circuits that perfectly replicate that mode, even down to the aging components (also known as component drift). The operation of the PackRat is about as simple as it gets.

The JHS Alpine Reverb Pedal﻿ was designed as a simple and straightforward reverb pedal, but one that is also extremely powerful and doesn't take much to maximize its potential. Modeled with two footswitches for further control, the one on the left is simply the on/off switch. The other is called the Shift control - essentially allowing you to switch between two settings on the fly without having to tweak any knobs mid-show.

It has five controls: Reverb, Depth, Highs, Length, and Shift. Reverb is a wet/dry mix control so you can adjust the saturation of your signal. Depth adjusts the size and space of the effect - essentially the size of the room (or canyon) in which you're playing. Highs acts as a high-pass filter and adjusts the tonality of the reverb. Length adjusts the decay time of the effect. And Shift works in conjunction with the right footswitch, acting as a second Reverb control. Loaded with killer features and great effects, the ﻿JHS Alpine Reverb Pedal makes for one helluva versatile effect pedal. Requires a standard 9V DC power adapter.

The world’s first dedicated guitar boost circuit was an unassuming grey box that sat on your amp. As easy as it was to overlook the enclosure, the sound was impossible to ignore. 

The Dallas Rangemaster turned your tube amp into a raging force of saturated, mid-heavy distortion overdrive, so it’s no surprise that this circuit was the secret weapon for Rory Gallagher, Brian May and so many more guitar heroes. Original units sell for as much as $4,000 on today’s used market. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

The Germanium Boost is our faithful recreation of the rare and sought after Rangemaster. We’ve included modern updates like a bypass footswitch and a two-way toggle for choosing the frequency of the boost, either classic or a thicker modern tone. Inside each Germanium Boost is a vintage Black Glass OC71 germanium transistor-- sourced from a private stash in England — delivering you blistering, sustaining guitar in the same vein as “We Will Rock You.”

Der JHS Pedals Switchback ist eine kleine unscheinbare Box mit umfangreichen Features. Er begann als ein Routing Kästchen, das JHS nur für sich selbst entwickelt hatten, um Pedale in der JHS-Werkstatt zu testen und zu vergleichen, aber schnell wurde ihnen klar, dass es für jedermann auf der Bühne oder im Studio äußerst nützlich sein kann. Der Switchback verfügt über einen Eingang, einen Ausgang und zwei separate auswählbare Effekt-Loops (Send / Return) sowie einen A / B-Schalter, der von JHS Red Remote Schalter ferngesteuert werden kann. Es gibt Millionen von Möglichkeiten, den Switchback zu verwenden. (Naja, vielleicht nicht eine Million, aber ... du weißt was gemeint ist.) Dank dem Red Remote kannst du den Switchback und alle Effekte in seinen Loops völlig außer Sichtweite unter deinem Board verstauen, während nur der winzige Red Remote für jederzeitigen Fernzugriff griffbereit brauchst!!! Der Switchback kann zu einem unverzichtbaren Werkzeug in deinem Touring-Rig oder im Studio werden und hilft dir dabei, viele Schaltdebakel deinem Setup zu lösen. Hol dir also deinen Switchback und lege los!

The JHS Pedals Switchback is a small unassuming box with a massive feature set. It began its life as a device that JHS designed just for themselves to test and compare pedals in the JHS workshop but they soon realized that it was extremely useful for everyone's guitar rig on stage or in the studio. The Switchback has one input, one output and two separate selectable effects loops (Send/Return), plus an A/B toggle that is controllable by the JHS Red Remote switching system. There are millions of ways to use the Switchback. (Maybe not a million but… You get the idea.) Because of the red remote function you can place the Switchback and any effects in its loops completely out of sight under your pedal board or in a rack while only having the small 1x1" Red Remote accessible!!! The Switchback could become an essential utility in your touring rig or studio, helping you solve many switching puzzles with your rig. So grab a Switchback and get to climbing!
