JHS Morning Glory V4 Transparent Overdrive Pedal

Brand: JHS Pedals

The JHS Pedals Morning Glory V4 is one of our favorite dirt pedals. The Bright Cut switch on the side of the pedal and the manual Boost toggle switch on top make this great sounding overdrive very versatile. The Boost switch can be made foot-switchable using the red jack, also on the right side. A two color LED indicates when you are in Boost mode.

Theres a lot of hype out there these days with overdrive pedals and the last thing we want to do is to add to the noise. As you may already know, almost every boutique overdrive on the market is a modified Tubescreamer of some sort; JHS have decided to take a different approach.

The Morning Glory is a very transparent tone-shaping tool that is the result of several years of building, gigging, tweaking and improving on the original Marshal Bluesbreaker design. JHS improved vastly on the BB while maintaining what made it a great pedal in the first place. It now has around 4X more headroom, 2X the available gain, and a more useful tone control. The Bright Cut toggle allows the perfect level of EQ for your rig. You will notice immediately how touch sensitive and dynamic the feel of this pedal is. The frequencies are perfectly balanced and the tone knob reacts as a high frequency roll off. The drive allows you a huge range of tones from little wing-ish chime to classic rock era bite.

If youre a Strat player, this pedal will bring you sounds that you may have thought impossible. If you like the Les Paul, get ready to discover a new pallet of sounds that you wont be able to live without. With enough clean headroom to be used as a boost as well as a hefty amount of drive, this may be your go-to pedal for good.
