Gear Description & Specs


The JHS Overdrive Preamp is designed to replicate the tonal behavior of classic amplifier preamp sections. It adds harmonic saturation and warmth while providing enough gain to function as both a boost and a primary drive pedal. The circuit emphasizes dynamic response, allowing players to control the amount of breakup through picking intensity. Its balanced EQ response makes it easy to integrate with a wide variety of guitars and amplifiers. The Overdrive Preamp works particularly well when used to push a clean amplifier into natural breakup.
