Description

THE VIOLET

The unique three-band EQ sets the Violet apart from our other popular distortion pedals. We 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?”

ABOUT JHS Pedals

JHS Pedals was founded by Joshua Heath Scott in Jackson, Mississippi.  He began by repairing and modifying his own pedals, and then sold modified pedals at the local guitar shop before designing his own.  Among his early models were the Morning Glory overdrive and the Pulp 'N' Peel compressor.  In 2009 Scott moved the company to Kansas City, Missouri, eventually expanding to 10 employees. JHS released the Panther analog delay in 2011 and also the SuperBolt overdrive and Prestige booster/buffer/enhancer in 2012.

In 2015 JHS collaborated with Keeley Electronics to produce a combined compressor and overdrive pedal, the Steak and Eggs.

2018 brings Scott and Nick Loux to release the first episode of The JHS Show, a video blog about guitar pedal history, products and inventors; Scott's screen persona has been described as "the Bill Nye the Science Guy meets Mister Rogers of guitar".
