JHS Hard Drive White

JHS Hard Drive White is a full-blown and respectable modern distortion pedal that is not based on a previous circuit or classic topology.

This pedal goes harder and further than any gain or distortion JHS has released so far. A fresh approach to achieving high gain distortion in a pedal format, the pedal includes cascaded gain stages and a hard limiting circuit, followed by a class AB amplifier section that drives a “sweepable midrange” EQ and Baxandall bass and treble controls.

With its generous external controls, the distortion lets you dial in everything from grinding tube amp crunch to a bona fide wall of distortion that can easily cut through any stage or studio mix. The pedal is not a clone of anything in particular but rather an original iteration of tons of different inspirations and ideas.

The pedal needs power from a 9 volts power supply and draws around 78 milliamps. The power supply is not included. There is also a black version of this pedal.
