JHS 3 Series Overdrive Pedal

Our Take:

Part of their 3 Series, the new 3 Series Overdrive pedal from JHS is the epitome of bang for your buck: simple, and affordable - but by no means cheap! In a sleek white stompbox, the 3 Series overdrive has just 4 controls - 3 knobs and a toggle - that allow access to a range of beautiful overdrive tones, varying from transparent boost to massive pushed-tube glory. Plus, the gain toggle allows you to go from compressed OD to dynamic, wide-open crunch that responds incredibly well to your playing. An excellent overdrive choice for beginners and professionals alike.
