Bypass Layout: High-grade True Bypass Switching
Power Requirements: 9VDC Negative Center Only (Do Not Exceed)

The JHS 3 Series Octave Reverb is an innovative, streamlined take on the legendary "shimmer" reverb effect originally pioneered by ambient masterminds Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois in the early 1980s. By embedding pitch-shifted overtones directly into the reverb’s feedback pathway, this pedal allows musicians to paint massive, synthesizer-like pads and cinematic textures that elegantly fill open ambient space. The Verb control governs the overall volume level of the wet reverb signal, while the Decay knob easily adjusts the size of the virtual acoustic space from a subtle hall reflection to a nearly infinite trailing wash.
The definitive feature of this circuit lies in the interplay between the Octave blend knob and the heavy-duty Up/Down toggle switch. The Octave control allows you to blend the precise amount of pitch-shifted intensity into your reverberated trails without touching your core dry signal. Flipping the toggle to the Up position yields majestic, symphonic shimmer overtones (+1 octave) that elevate guitar, keys, or vocal tracks into celestial soundscapes. Flicking the toggle to the Down position layers a haunting, sub-bass undertone (-1 octave) into the reverb decay, perfect for crafting deep, brooding shadows and dark shoegaze soundscapes.
Housed in the standard, highly road-ready all-white 3 Series chassis, this utility stompbox is engineered to deliver pristine tone with a minimal footprint. Featuring standard 1/4-inch side jacks and an ultra-reliable true bypass footswitch, the pedal guarantees your signal path remains uncolored when bypassed. The internal digital processing runs on industry-standard 9VDC negative center power and draws a lean 65 mA. To protect the internal components, never run the device at a higher voltage, as doing so will void your factory warranty.
