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.

Preamp & DI Pedals

A preamp brings an instrument signal to a controlled level and shapes its impedance, gain and frequency balance before amplification or recording. A DI converts the signal for a balanced, low-impedance connection and may include ground lift, pad and transformer isolation. Combined units can add drive, cabinet filtering, effects loops and parallel outputs while keeping the direct path stable.

Compressor

Narrows dynamic range by reducing gain when the signal crosses a level threshold. Attack preserves or softens the initial pick transient, release shapes the recovery, ratio controls the strength of reduction, and blend restores uncompressed detail alongside sustain and level consistency.
