Jhs 424 Gain Stage Preamp / Disto / Overdrive

The JHS PEDALS 424 Gain Stage Preamp / Distortion / Overdrive is a singular saturation effect capable of reproducing the characteristic sounds obtained from the multi-track recorders of the 1980s and 1990s. These devices, at the origin of the "home-studio" phenomenon, enabled many artists, both anonymous and famous, to easily capture their inspirations. JHS has meticulously reproduced the circuitry of the legendary Tascam 424 MKI with its original UPC4570 and NJM4565 operational amplifiers.

The JHS Pedals 424 Gain Stage is more than just a saturation pedal, it's an authentic preamp stage that builds complex tones and enhances your playing. Its organic response, typical of analog circuits, gives access to realistic, natural sensations, respecting the nuances of your musical interpretation, with the possibility of covering multiple musical registers.
Thanks to two cascading gain circuits (corresponding to the Trim and Channel controls of a 424 MKI) and two-band EQ, you can adjust textures and intensities, from light boost through 80's Lo-Fi grain, mellow overdrive to fuzz distortion, retaining definition, dynamics, warmth and texture at all times.
Compatible with guitar, bass or synthesizer, the JHS Pedals 424 Gain Stage will appeal to fans of Blues, Rock, Stoner, Garage, Hard-Rock, or Indie...
