JHS 3 Series Distortion Pedal

Our Take:

Part of their 3 Series, the new 3 Series Distortion pedal from JHS is the epitome of bang for your buck: simple, and affordable - but by no means cheap! With the ability to produce the whole gamut of distortion via only three control knobs and a gain toggle, the 3 Series Distortion proves to be a veritable swiss army knife of dirty tones - ranging from compressed, speed metal distortion to huge, dynamic crunch with a flick of a switch or the turn of a knob. Housed in a sleek, sturdy white stompbox and at only $99, this Distortion pedal is truly a working musician's pedal.

The JHS Pedals 3 Series Distortion is a massively versatile distortion pedal with the ability to achieve medium gain crunch, heavy overdrive, distortion, and even fuzz tones. The controls on the Distortion are Volume, Filter (or Tone), and Distort knobs that give you a wide range of usable sounds in any position. The Gain toggle gives you a choice between more saturated and compressed or a more open and crunchy distortion. This switch plays a big part in how the pedal responds to your playing and touch dynamics. The JHS Pedals 3 Series Distortion runs on 9V DC Negative Center power and consumes 9mA.
