Solid deals for new JHS USA made pedals at used prices. You can sit around and debate if they've ever had a better sale on any of these and hope to save another couple of bucks someday OR you can buy now and use them while someone else sits around hoping a better deal stumbles their way. ;-)

Thank you for playing!

I disagree, good pedals, reliable, and made in St. Louis. They are not expensive for American made pedals.

As far as the designs go, 95% of pedals designs are clones or near clones of prior pedal designs. So if the Double Barrel is just a stacked Morning Glory followed by a Tube Screamer, that's exactly what it is, and we know this because Josh Scott says that's what it is. They don't hide the design history of their pedals. JHS would be the first to acknowledge that a $19 Behrenger or Amoon/Mooer/Nux/AmazonBasics pedal does the same thing as many JHS pedals, but sometimes with compromised component choices, especially in the housing, switches and quality control.

And while I love the DS1, my first pedal which I've been using off an on since the 1980s, it isn't even remotely accurate to say that the DS1 an asymmetrical hard clipping pre-amp/op-amp distortion is the same or 'better' than the Paul Gilbert FET based distortion with a midrange shaping preamp. They are both distortions, but there are drawbacks to the DS1, too little midrange, noise with high gain, and it isn't the best voice for some amps. The DS1 does sound good at low-mid gain in front of an all tube Marshall half stack, though.

JHS is founded and run by some real pedal nerds and has all of this undeserved hate. Are they popular with the praise and worship world? Yes, but so are PRS, Fender, Wampler, Boss Wazacraft, Analogman and Line6 Helix. They have good gear because they have money for good gear. Praise and Worship players tend to have day jobs and don't spend very much on booze.

…. And for the record I own one JHS pedal what I got yesterday, that Neve clone ColorBox. I was disappointed for 30 minutes, then I read the manual. It sounds spectacular, once you figure out how to tame the insane amount of gain.

Does anyone have any experience with these pedals? I've heard of them but never had a chance to play around.

Josh is a well respected pedal czar. May know more pedal history and own more pedals than any other in the whole wide world. Buy with confidence!

bonsai is sick as hell because if you don't actually know which tube screamer style you want, well, this has them all. muffaletta works similarly on the fuzz end, with a pile of different muff vibes.

in reality, i like the uniqueness of the morning glory more than any and don't actually want 9 different sounds, i want 1 that i use all the time. it's super transparent and sounds great as a boost, dial in a little grit and it's smooth as can be. easily a great deal at $170.

I have the 3 series Overdrive. I use it as my clean boost. The Fuzz pedal is nice as well. If you want something super versatile that sounds great, the Morning Glory is the real deal.

In for a Color Box V2. $339 sounds like a bunch, but for a Neve preamp on a pedalboard, it is already a bargain at the full price. And I can always resell it for that much on Reverb.com right?

I ordered the 3 Series Fuzz and Overdrive, having heard both and seeing the circuits they were derived from which only shored up my decision to get them.

Grabbed a Morning Glory v4 as a Father's Day gift from my wife to me. Thanks, Honey! (she's the best!) ;-)

JHS, for the most part, take other people's pedal designs and repackage them with solid color paint jobs and mid-80s Clipart graphics, calling them "handmade" and boutique."

They are average pedals, in both build quality, and audio quality.

They are not made with high end audio parts, by ANY stretch.

They are very popular with the "Praise&Worship" rock/metal bands as well as teenagers who have bands who play at churches.

They said OK, but not great, just OK.

The Neve preamp is meh, and its hard to find a real use for.

Josh Scott is more of a marketing guy, than a guy people in the pedal community "respect." He's really big on slapping someone's name on a pedal "Ryan Adam's, Paul Gilbert etc." To sell you on it, until you get it and find out your old DS-1 did the same thing, only better, for 29 bucks.

I don't think these pedals are worth 85 bucks personally, but to each their own.

Anyone looking to find out more about JHS and Josh Scott could Google "JHS Devi Ever" or "JHS Clones Pedals" or a million other things and find out what his company is about. Not good stuff.

Also, the resale value is basically, nothing, so if you buy these, expect to own it forever.

Fascinating. You've basically tried to reduce JHS to that of Behringer. ??

I do NOT work for JHS, and I'm in NO way affiliated with them. I play guitar. I like gear. I really like high quality gear and vintage sounds. Mike Fuller (fulltone), Brian Wampler (wampler pedals), Josh Scott (jhs pedals), they all make great stuff and they -- and many others like them -- respect each other's work, support each other, and speak highly of one another. And, they ALL make pedals based on classic circuits with their own tweaks/mods. They, and many other pedal makers and professional musicians seem to be at odds with your manufactured narrative. Why is that?

Sorry, had to point that out for those that might otherwise buy into the hate-hype.

Peace!

Yeah, I'm not sure I understand the criticisms. How does just because a certain manufacturer become popular in "church bands" somehow make it inherently bad?? I get it church isn't for everyone, but to have it automatically rule out a certain product?? And as you point out, ALL pedals manufacturers "stand on the shoulders of others" and add infinite tweaks and mods to what came before. Of the zillions of pedals out there, there are VERY few that are a totally new, never before seen/heard item (especially if it's a pleasant sounding pedal other than some off-the-wall gimmick). And the criticism that you can't resell these pedals doesn't seem accurate at all.

Also, re Behringer, while I have used a fair amount of their gear that's way better than the "trend chasers" would tell you (their mixers are quite nice and some of their Bugera amps sounds really good even though they get no love), I do have a couple of Behringer pedals that I bought for my kids to try out when they were something like 8 years old and I do have to report that they are inferior quality in many ways -- cheap construction, noisy, clipping in an effects loop where every other pedal is fine, etc. So I think JHS is in a different league than Behringer -- I know both of the previous commenters would agree with that -- I just wanted to add some clarification. :-)

I echo the peace. :-) Just sharing my experience and what I have heard. :-)

EDIT: In fairness, some of the Behringer pedals could be fine... I think it was the delay I really didn't like and I'm not sure I tried the others (I bought I 3 or 4 pack super cheap on sale). And again, I think a lot of Behringer stuff is much better than people give them credit for, but they do make some that are duds.

Josh Scott made a great video about Behrenger Pedals. He's of the opinion that they are pretty accurate clones of a lot of the Boss pedals. I love the Super Fuzz SF300, which is a spectacular sounding pedal and absolutely insane if set exactly half way between Fuzz 1 and 2. I hate the Analog Delay VD 400, it sounds like a wet noodle. I put a Tung Sol 5751 preamp tube into the Vintage Tube Monster pedal, and it's a real banger. I also like the Vintage Phaser and the June60 pedal, which is their take Stereo Guitar Pedal take on the Roland Juno Synth's Chorus buttons. The June 60 is a particularly attractive pedal in a nice metal housing with wooden end panels, like their Deepmind12 and Model D synths (also real bangers in the synth category).

LOL, guess we found out who Josh bullied in high school

Most pedal company sell pedal styles people are familiar with. All sell a mid boosted green od pedal, etc. You just have to add a knob and then you have the most transparent mid humped scooped tube like marshallesqe pedal ever
