JHS 3 Series Screamer Overdrive Pedal.

Description

JHS founder and ownerJosh Scott, started out modifying pedals. One of his most popular pedal mods was to the classic Tube Screamer. Undoubtedly a legendary sound, but not without its idiosyncrasies. The Tube Screamer can be someone limited in its usage – Josh’s “Strong Mod” made it a far more versatile pedal without sacrificing its essence.

With the 3 Series Screamer, he has applied his years of experience to bring the “Strong Mod” to the masses in an affordable package. The 3 Series Screamer retains that iconic mid-hump that is the foundation of the Tube Screamer’s tone, but it rolls of less bass and treble to give a fat tone with more balance. It is also less compressed than a stock Tube Screamer, giving it more clean headroom and a more usable gain range, so it works even better as a boost or a full-bore overdrive!

The +/- toggle switch changes the clipping. Up is asymmetrical clipping (which is the strong mod clipping) anddown is symmetrical clipping (stock TS9 TS808 style).
