JHS Pedals / mixwave Loud Is More Good Plugin Collection

Our second foray into the World of Plugins this week brings us a group of pedals that are well-known and great-sounding, and are a natural choice to transfer to the digital realm. JHS Pedals and mixwave have teamed up to create the Loud Is More Good Plugin Collection, bringing you 5 glorious effects and a rare amplifier right to your desktop. Compression, Boost/Overdrive, Distortion, Delay and Reverb effects make up a near-perfect signal chain, letting you transform your recordings in any way you see fit…

Known for innovative sound, quality craftsmanship and user-friendly features, JHS pedals have become immensely popular for their blend of vintage character and modern versatility. This collection captures the essence of their pedal-friendly amplifier and its seamless synergy with a curated selection of JHS’s most celebrated pedals, offering everything from transparent overdrive to immersive ambience:

A studio-quality compressor and preamp emulation designed for smooth, natural dynamics. With parallel compression for balance and an optional grit toggle for added warmth, the JHS Pulp N Peel enhances tone with clarity and control—perfect for guitar, bass, and beyond.

A precise digital recreation of JHS’s most celebrated overdrive, the JHS Morning Glory delivers transparent, amp-like breakup with clarity and touch sensitivity. From subtle edge to dynamic saturation, it preserves the character of your playing while adding warmth and harmonic richness.

A modern high-gain distortion emulation capturing the best tones of the ’90s and 2000s alternative rock era. With a hard-limiting circuit and powerful EQ, it delivers everything from tube-like crunch to massive walls of distortion. The JHS Hard Drive is the most aggressive distortion JHS has ever made—now faithfully recreated in digital form.

A detailed emulation of JHS’s discontinued Panther Cub V2, delivering lush analog-style bucket brigade delay. With up to 1,000ms of delay time, tap tempo, and expressive modulation, the JHS Panther Cub creates deep, evolving echoes that blend seamlessly into any mix.

Digitally developed in collaboration with JHS, the JHS NÖTASPRING reimagines classic spring reverb with a modern touch. Designed for mono and stereo sources, it offers everything from subtle ambience to cavernous textures with intuitive reverb length, EQ, and mix controls.

In the demo below, we run through these 5 effects, showing how they sound both individually and in a gorgeous signal path.
