Description

Spread the love

JHS are well-known pedal fanatics. They often take their designs and improve them until they are the absolute best they can be. The Moonshine V2 is a result of that ethos. With the charm of the original Moonshine intact, the V2 has been refined for increased versatility and a more powerful drive tone!

Sounds

The Moonshine is loved for its gnarly, gritty tone, essentially producing a highly modified version of the famous Tubescreamer mids push we all know and love. With many pedal manufacturers going down the “transparent” overdrive route these days, the Moonshine is an unapologetically different beast with its own character and voice.

The V2 largely retains its unique TS on steroids sound, capable of delivering low-gain breakup to searing high-gain, thanks to its “Proof” toggle switch. The down position provides a mid-boosted tone with plenty of saturation and distortion on tap. Flick the switch up for a broader, more open crunch that is great for classic rock or blues.

Typical Drive, Tone and Volume controls give you enough flexibility to dial in your ideal overdrive tone, and with a pedal that sounds this good it should be easy!

What’s New for V2

The clean dial is the biggest improvement to the Moonshine. Allowing you to blend your clean, unaffected tone and the pedal’s distorted flavour, this control can let you achieve those timeless SRV-style characteristics.

Distortion

Distortion pedals take your clean guitar signal and transform it into something bigger, bolder, and full of attitude. By clipping the waveform, they add sustain, bite, and aggression, creating that thick, compressed tone that’s powered rock music for decades. From the growling crunch of classic hard rock to the tight, saturated roar of modern metal, distortion is all about energy and presence. It gives every note weight and authority, pushing your amp to its limits and beyond.

There are countless flavours of distortion, each with its own texture and edge. Some sound smooth and creamy, others raw and gnarly like tearing fabric. It’s the sonic equivalent of turning up the heat until the sound cooks — rich, sizzling, and perfectly seasoned to taste. Whether used for rhythm muscle or soaring leads, a good distortion pedal doesn’t just add volume; it adds personality, grit, and that unmistakable sense of power under your fingers.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

Overdrive

Like a golden layer of melted cheese — warm, gooey, and just put it all over. It adds just the right amount of richness and grit, turning a clean signal into something smooth and savoury. Designed to mimic the natural breakup of a tube amp pushed to its sweet spot, overdrive delivers the flavour of classic rock and blues in every bite. From creamy mid-gain warmth to crisp edge-of-breakup sparkle, it’s the comfort food of guitar tone — simple, satisfying, and endlessly versatile. Whether it’s a mild crunch or a full-bodied roar, overdrive is where good taste begins.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
