JHS Pedals
Kansas City boutique and popular YouTube channel. Known for transparent overdrives and honest amp-in-a-box tones.
About the brand
JHS Pedals was founded in Kansas City, Missouri, in 2007 by Josh Scott. Scott started the company modifying popular pedals before moving to original designs. His YouTube channel — 'JHS Show' — has become one of the most-watched guitar effect video series in the world, reaching audiences far beyond his customer base.
The Morning Glory is the JHS signature overdrive — a transparent, touch-sensitive low-to-medium gain overdrive inspired by the Marshall Bluesbreaker. The Muffuletta packs six different Big Muff variants into a single pedal. The Pedal Palette 3 Series offers affordable versions of their most popular circuits.
JHS's ability to communicate clearly about what pedals actually do, through both their products and their media content, has made them one of the most trusted voices in the effects world. Scott's willingness to be honest about the industry — including his own company — has built extraordinary brand loyalty.
