Short Description:

A Powerful Overdrive/Distortion Pedal by JHS!

What We Think:

The JHS Angry Charlie V3 is a bold, amp-like overdrive and distortion pedal built to capture the roar and response of a classic British stack. Its JCM800-inspired voicing delivers tight low end, cutting mids, and harmonically rich gain that feels immediate and touch-responsive. The active three-band EQ makes shaping your sound intuitive and powerful, while the master-volume-style drive interaction lets you move easily from crunchy rhythm to soaring lead. Exceptionally responsive to your guitar’s volume control and capable of higher headroom when run at 18V, the Angry Charlie V3 is a versatile, professional tool and a smart long-term investment for players who want authoritative drive with real feel.

Manufacturer Description:

The Angry Charlie has become a staple of the JHS line over the years, and it’s a force to be reckoned with in the high-gain pedal territory. Its ability to convincingly and accurately breathe JCM800 tones into any rig has made it a popular choice for guitarists of all genres. And unlike many other British amp-in-a-box pedals, the Angry Charlie V3 sports a 3-band tone stack, just like the Marshalls, helping nail those warm yet searing tones and boundless sustain. If you are a glutton for high-gain overdrive/distortion that has a British flavor, the Angry Charlie V3 will change your life. Well, your gear life.

FURIOUS-SOUNDING AMP IN A BOX

Turn the Drive control down, and you might be surprised how bluesy and vintage-like this pedal sounds. But through its different versions, our Angry Charlie distortion has always been one of the more aggressive British amp-in-a-box pedals out there. Either way, you’ll be injecting your amp with the grit and attitude of the UK amplifier heads that gave rock ‘n’ roll its teeth.

- Turns any amp into a screaming Marshall stack

- Go from bluesy Hendrix-like breakup to high-gain Brit tones with a twist of the Drive knob

- Drive and Volume control interact the same as a master volume amp head

- Back off your guitar’s volume to control your gain levels without losing clarity

MARSHALL-STYLE TONE STACK

After a couple of extremely well-received versions of the Angry Charlie, we realized that to really nail the ultimate Marshall-style tone, we had to add Marshall-style control, so we gave you a finely tuned Marshall-style 3-band EQ. Enjoy!

- Fine-tune your tone with controls for Bass, Middle, and Treble

- Active controls boost and cut their selected frequencies
