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 Distortion gives players a responsive, hands-on experience to craft tones that range from bright and boosted to heavy and abrasive. The Gain toggle will boost the distortion further and higher for fuller, broken-up voice. The faceless stompbox might not look like much, but the powerful voices under the footswitch are well worth the price of admission.
