The JHS Morning Glory Clean is a reimagined, ultra-transparent version of the classic Bluesbreaker-style circuit, specifically designed as a first-stage boost for players who prioritize pick attack and dynamics. Unlike the standard V4, this model is built from the ground up to incorporate a studio-grade parallel clean blend. This allows you to mix your dry, unaffected signal with the overdrive, ensuring that even at higher drive settings, your guitar’s fundamental clarity, punch, and low-end remain perfectly preserved. The control layout features a unique dual-gang "Clean" knob that proportionally tracks the relationship between your clean and overdriven signals, eliminating the phase or volume issues often found in simpler blend circuits. While the Drive and Tone knobs handle the overdriven path, the Volume knob acts as a post-blend active boost, offering significant output to push your amplifier. This design was famously inspired by jazz guitarist Julian Lage, who sought a version of the Morning Glory that could provide harmonic shimmer and grit without sacrificing the "wattage" and feel of a clean amp. Internally, the pedal utilizes a high-headroom, dual-supply power section derived from JHS’s V4 designs, making it equally effective for tube amps, modelers, and even electric bass. It is engineered for immediate usability, focusing on "always-on" refinement rather than aggressive distortion. By balancing the familiar Bluesbreaker chime with a dedicated clean path, the Morning Glory Clean serves as the definitive tool for players who feel traditional transparent overdrives still color their tone too much.
