Kilt V2 Overdrive / Fuzz / Distortion Pedal

From subtle grit to full-on sonic carnage — all in one compact stompbox.

Plug in and prepare to unleash tonal chaos — the Kilt V2 is a dirt box with serious pedigree. Born out of a collaboration with Stu G (legendary guitarist, producer, and founding member of Delirious), this pedal was designed to handle everything from studio subtlety to arena-level attack.

Why You’ll Want It

Versatility on steroids

This is no one‑trick pony. The Kilt V2 leverages a modified Expandora‑style circuit that lets you stretch from smooth drive to full fuzz carnage.

Tweakability for days

With three toggles (Cut/Flat, G1, G2), you can sculpt your sound:

Cut / Flat lets you reduce low end when you need to sit in the mix (or leave it flat for heavy low-end grit).

G1 & G2 select different clipping schemes (not your typical diode selector) to change how aggressive or smooth the distortion is.

Combined settings push you into fuzzy, gated, or near‑destructive territory.

Compact, roadworthy design

This V2 version shrinks the footprint: it features 3 knobs, 3 toggles, and integrates JHS’s Red Remote system (for remote control) while still packing serious tone.
