The JHS 3 Series represents an evolution in bargain-priced effect pedals. With each of the seven pedals specializing in one effect, the 3 Series does not sacrifice quality for simplicity. Three knobs and one toggle allow players to dial into an effect that is reliable, responsive, and across the board expressive. Every essential effect a player would need is present in the series for a collection of quality bargain-priced pedals.

The JHS 3 Series Compressor uses its three knobs to let players precisely tune in on a bright and articulate compressed tone. Further brightness can be found with the Bright toggle engaged to fill in some of the high end that can be lost during compression. The no-frills stompbox design matches the straightforward nature of the effect - quick and effective.
