Cascaded gain stages At the heart of the Hard Drive’s exceptional performance are its cascaded gain stages which provide an intricate layering of gain that mimics the complexity and responsiveness of a high-end tube amplifier. This setup allows for a nuanced expression in sound from subtle overdriven textures to aggressive saturated distortion. The ability to precisely control the level of distortion through these stages makes the pedal highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of musical styles.

Distortion is a guitar effect that alters the signal’s waveform, creating a gritty, aggressive sound characterized by a high level of harmonic content and sustain. It’s achieved by amplifying the input signal to the point where the amplifier or pedal’s circuitry begins to clip, causing the waveform to become squared off and jagged. This clipping produces harmonics that weren’t present in the original signal, resulting in the characteristic “gritty” or “dirty” tone associated with distortion. Distortion pedals typically feature controls for adjusting the amount of gain or distortion applied, as well as tone-shaping knobs to tailor the sound’s frequency response. Distortion is widely used in rock, metal, and punk music to add power, aggression, and sustain to guitar solos, riffs, and rhythm parts, creating a bold and intense sonic impact in the mix. Popular distortion pedals include the Boss DS-1, Pro Co Rat, and Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi.

In 2009 Scott moved the company to Kansas City, Missouri, eventually expanding to 10 employees.JHS released the Panther analogue delay in 2011 and the SuperBolt overdrive and Prestige booster/buffer/enhancer in 2012.
JHS manufactures and sells pedals with a variety of effects, including the Morning Glory V4, the Muffuletta, the 3 Series, the Pulp’N’Peel V4, the Andy Timmons AT+, the Paul Gilbert PG-14, the Legends of Fuzz series, the Unicorn Univibe, the Lucky Cat, the Double Barrel V4, the 1966 Series and the Colour Box preamp.
