JHS 3 Series - Overdrive
Quick Specifications
Pedal Type: Transparent to Medium-Gain Overdrive
Controls: Volume, Body, Drive, Gain Toggle
Bypass Layout: High-grade True Bypass Switching
Power Requirements: 9VDC Negative Center Only (Do Not Exceed)
Current Draw: 12 mA
Dimensions: 4.42” × 2.38” × 1.22” (112 mm x 60 mm x 31 mm)
Performance & Tonal Control
Transparent Grit & Dynamic Gain Structure
The JHS 3 Series Overdrive delivers an incredibly wide spectrum of dirt textures inside an intuitive, straightforward layout. Engineered to respect the natural voice of your guitar and amplifier, this circuit spans from subtle, touch-sensitive edge-of-breakup grit to rich, saturated medium-gain drive. The Volume control sets your overall output level, offering plenty of clean headroom to push the front end of a tube amp. The Drive knob manages the amount of internal distortion, smoothly transitioning from a transparent clean boost to a singing, sustaining lead tone.
Intuitive EQ Shaping & Clipping Profiles
Unlike a standard tone control that simply rolls off treble, the specialized Body knob acts as an active bass and low-mid contour. Turning it clockwise fattens up single-coil pickups with a thick, robust punch, while rolling it back tightens up muddy humbuckers for a focused, mix-cutting bite. To expand your sonic options, a heavy-duty Gain toggle alters the circuit's compression and clipping threshold. Flipped down, the pedal delivers wide-open, dynamic boost textures. Flicking the switch up introduces a more compressed, high-gain saturated clipping profile that sings with rich harmonic overtones.
Hardware & Rig Integration
Power Profile & Footprint
Housed in the standard, highly durable all-white 3 Series chassis, this pedal optimizes valuable space on your pedalboard. Built with rugged side-mounted 1/4-inch jacks and a reliable true bypass footswitch, your audio pathway remains completely uncolored when the effect is disengaged. The analog circuit runs on standard 9VDC negative center power and draws an exceptionally lean 12 mA, making it highly friendly on multi-output power blocks or daisy chains. Do not exceed 9VDC, as doing so will void your factory warranty.
