JHS 3 Series Overdrive

The JHS 3 Series Overdrive – Simple, Flexible, and Built to Inspire

Transparent overdrive tone that plays well with any rig

Designed to do more with less, the JHS 3 Series Overdrive brings clarity and punch to your signal chain without crowding your board or your ears. This is an overdrive pedal that thrives in the in-between, balancing dynamic breakup and articulate tone with a no-nonsense control layout that delivers results fast. Whether you’re pushing a clean amp into gritty territory or stacking into another drive, this one stays out of the way in all the right ways.

Streamlined controls for real-world performance

Volume, Body, and Drive. The only controls you’ll need to shape your sound. The Volume control lets you match or boost your output, while Drive sets the level of gain. The Body knob is where things get interesting: it subtly tweaks the EQ character to help you fine-tune your presence in a mix. Flip the Gain toggle to go from tight and crisp to a slightly looser, more saturated drive. Refreshingly intuitive, and surprisingly versatile.

Pedalboard-friendly and sonically consistent

The 3 Series Overdrive is as consistent as it is compact. It plays nice with other pedals, stays quiet when it should, and delivers dependable tone at any volume. Built with quality components and housed in a minimalist white enclosure, it’s equally at home in a living room practice session or a professional studio setup. Plug it in and you’ll find yourself forgetting it’s even there.

From subtle breakup to full-bodied crunch

Whether you want just a hint of hair on your clean tone or a thick, harmonically rich lead sound, the 3 Series Overdrive can get you there without coloring your original tone. It's your rig's secret ingredient, enhancing what you’re already doing, helping your amp and guitar do what they do best. It works across genres, pickups, and amp styles, making it a dependable go-to no matter where the gig takes you.

Built in Kansas City, made for everywhere

Like the rest of the 3 Series, this overdrive is built by hand in Kansas City, Missouri. It's made to last and made to sound great, without the boutique price tag. If you’re looking for a versatile, workhorse drive that doesn’t need a learning curve, this is it.
