JHS PEDALS

JHS Hard Drive Distortion Pedal

The JHS Hard Drive is a high-gain distortion pedal built from the ground up to deliver the aggressive tones of '90s and 2000s alternative rock, post-grunge, hard rock, and modern high-gain music. Unlike many distortion pedals inspired by classic circuits, the Hard Drive is a completely original design that offers a massive range of gain and powerful EQ shaping capabilities.

Using multiple cascaded gain stages and a hard-limiting circuit, the Hard Drive can produce everything from crunchy amp-like overdrive to saturated, wall-of-sound distortion. A highly flexible EQ section featuring sweepable mids, along with active bass and treble controls, allows you to precisely tailor your sound for any guitar, amp, or musical style.
