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

A fresh approach to achieving high gain distortion in a pedal format, the Hard Drive includes cascaded gain stages and a hard limiting circuit, followed by a class AB amplifier section that drives a “sweepable midrange” EQ and Baxandall bass and treble controls. With its generous external controls, the Hard Drive lets you dial in everything from grinding tube amp crunch to a bona fide wall of distortion that can easily cut through any stage or studio mix.

Kodiak Tremolo

Das Violet Distortion Pedal ist eine neue Interpretation eines Verzerrer/Overdrive Effekts, das von Josh Scott gemeinsam mit der extrem einflussreichen brasilianischen Gitarristin Lari Basilio entwickelt wurde! Dieses Pedal gibt Ihnen das Gefühl als hätten Sie Ihren besten Clean-Amp um einen neuen, ultraflexiblen Distortion-Kanal erweitert. Das Violet unterscheidet sich von anderen beliebten JHS Verzerrer-Pedals durch seine einzigartige Dreiband-EQ Regelung. JHS hat die Mittenbereichsregelung vor der Verzerrerschaltung positioniert, um den Charakter der Verzerrung bereits vor der Verstärkung formen zu können. Durch dieses Design kann das Violet hunderte von Sounds erzeugen, von Overdrive bis hin zu kräftiger, moderner Verzerrung. Höhen- und Bassregelung finden sich an der klassischen Position hinter der Verzerrungsschaltung und bieten die gewohnten, extrem flexiblen Klangformungsoptionen für den verzerrten Sound.
Das Violet lässt sich auch hervorragend mit anderen Overdrive, Distortion und Fuzz Effekten kombinieren, und eignet sich daher hervorragend als Haupt- oder zweiter Verzerrer in jedem Rig.
Dieses Pedal ist für alle gedacht, die Ihrer Gitarre eine neue Stimme verleihen möchten. Wie Lari es ausdrückt: "Warum sollte ich Worte verwenden, wenn meine Gitarre für mich sprechen kann?"

The Violet Distortion is a new take on distortion/overdrive brought to you from the collaborative minds of Josh Scott and highly influential Brazilian guitarist Lari Basilio! Using this pedal is like adding a new and ultra-flexible distortion channel to your favorite clean amplifier. The unique three-band EQ sets the Violet apart from other popular JHS distortion pedals. JHS placed the Midrange control before the distortion circuit as a powerful pre-amp distortion shaping tool. This single design choice allows the Violet to achieve hundreds of tones, from overdrive to full-on modern distortion. Treble and Bass controls are located in a more traditional position after the distortion circuit, offering familiar but extremely flexible post-distortion shaping you’re accustomed to.
The Violet also excels at stacking with other overdrives, distortions, and fuzzes, allowing it to fit perfectly into any rig as a second or new primary dirt device.
This pedal is for anyone looking to give their guitar a new voice. As Lari put it, “Why would I need words when my guitar can speak for me?”

Violet, Purple - Lari Basilio Sign.

 Inherently simple devices like fuzz circuits are extremely sensitive to the amount of voltage that they receive, thus any change in the voltage from your power supply will cause drastically different tones. Guitarists eventually caught on to this hack and began draining their batteries to try and find the sweet spot for their fuzz pedal. A good idea in theory, but who has time for that? Then, just a few years ago, a certain unnamed guitarist reached out to me for a practical solution for this technique– and the Volture was born.
