JHS Pedals

JHS Pedals grew from Josh Scott’s pedal-modification work in 2007 into a Kansas City effects maker. Scott’s first original designs followed in 2008; the Morning Glory began as his reinvention of the Marshall Bluesbreaker. The JustPedals catalogue carries the Morning Glory V4 and Muffuletta, along with practical tools such as the Little Black Buffer, Buffered Splitter and Little Black Amp Box. JHS describes its guitar pedals as made in Kansas City, USA. The range mixes original drive and fuzz designs with utility pedals, so the current listings show more than a single “boutique overdrive” identity.

Octave Pedals

An octave effect generates notes one or more octaves above or below the input. Analogue circuits often create raw monophonic sub-octaves, while digital pitch tracking can follow chords and provide several intervals with cleaner separation. Tracking speed, polyphonic accuracy, latency and the balance of dry, upper and lower voices determine whether the result feels tight, organ-like, synthetic or deliberately unstable.
