The ’73 Ram’s Head Fuzz from JHS Pedals is designed to replicate the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff π sold in the mid-1970s, and is named for the logo that adorned the pedals of that time period. Used extensively by David Gilmour in the latter part of the 70s, as well as J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr., the Big Muff π has become a legendary tone-maker, and the ’73 Ram’s Head is an excellent modern take on a classic. With 3...

There are a lot of tremolo pedals floating around these days, and honestly, each of the ones I’ve played have sounded great, in one way or another. So, I suppose (like most pedals) it comes down to personal preference, and what fits with your other gear, as well as your style of playing. I gotta admit, I’m a bit of a sucker for pedal mods – I think they’re fun and exciting ways to make a so-so pedal into...

JHS has been making great drive pedals for a while now, and the Double Barrel keeps the tradition going strong. Their version of a low-to-medium gain overdrive, the Double Barrel features 2 independent sides, which can be used separately or together, making for some interesting and extremely useful combinations. The Right side of the pedal is the JHS 808, which is their standalone version of the classic Tubescreamer. Featuring that...

I love this fuzz, I gotta say. The Bun Runner from JHS Pedals is a sonic marvel, and one of the most versatile and useful fuzzes I have ever had the privilege of playing. With two quite different sides to this 2-in-1 pedal, many fuzzy tones are easily accessible, ranging from slightly overdriven to all-out crazy, gooey, fuzzy goodness. The left side of the (now-discontinued) Bun Runner is the (now discontinued) JHS Astro Mess Fuzz,...

The Angry Charlie Channel Drive is a simple pedal from JHS Pedals, with a very classic and boutique performance. It has 4 knobs, volume, drive, tone, and presence. The tone and presence knobs work in reverse like filter on Proco Rat. Before i bought this one, I sold my Suhr Riot because I’m looking for more classic Marshally tones like EVH. By watching some review on Youtube and read some articles, I decided JHS Angry Charlie...

Yet another overdrive based on the famous Klon, the Soul Food from Electro-Harmonix was created to bring great-sounding tone to musicians everywhere…at an VERY affordable price. As with all great Klone-type pedals, the Soul Food provides sweet, creamy, transparent overdrive, but can also go pretty balls out if need be. Volume, Tone and Drive controls are also typical, but like so many other pedals have come to find out, one trip...

The Mini Foot Fuzz from JHS Pedals is great because it packs the thick fuzz you want, by takes up very little space. With the volume knob and fuzz knob up all the way you can get an incredible amount of fuzz and distortion and by peeling back the fuzz the sound because much more spitty sounding. Sold at a relatively low price, this is a great grab. Users: Mutemath Submitted by Matt S, SoundCloud GET EXCLUSIVE UPDATES, CONTEST INFO,...

The BD-2 Blues Driver delivers the creamy, yet crunchy sound associated with great blues guitar. This popular pedal provides instant access to the kind of warm overdrive and emotive distortion usually reserved for 30-year-old tube amps. With the JHS Blu-Drive mod, however, the BD-2 becomes very transparent and extremely amp-like in its response and character. You will notice a huge range of gain that reaches from clean boost to all...
