JHS Violet Lari Basilio Signature Overdrive

JHS Violet Lari Basilio Signature Overdrive is a new take on distortion/overdrive brought to you from the collaborative minds of Josh Scott and Lari Basilio.

Using this pedal is like adding a new and ultra-flexible distortion channel to your favorite clean amplifier. The unique three-band EQ sets the Violet apart from other popular JHS distortion pedals. JHS placed the Midrange control before the distortion circuit as a powerful pre-amp distortion shaping tool. This single design choice allows the Violet to achieve hundreds of tones, from overdrive to full-on modern distortion.

Treble and Bass controls are located in a more traditional position after the distortion circuit, offering familiar but extremely flexible post-distortion shaping you’re accustomed to.

The pedal also excels at stacking with other overdrives, distortions, and fuzzes, allowing it to fit perfectly into any rig as a second or new primary dirt device.
This pedal is for anyone looking to give their guitar a new voice. As Lari put it, “Why would I need words when my guitar can speak for me?”

The pedal needs power from a 9 volts power supply and draws around 55 milliamps. The power supply is not included. There is also a black version of this pedal.
