The JHS Violet Distortion ? A New Voice for Your Guitar

A Versatile Distortion from JHS and Lari Basilio

The JHS Violet Distortion, created in collaboration with Brazilian guitarist Lari Basilio, brings a fresh take on distortion and overdrive. With its unique three-band EQ and midrange pre-distortion shaping, the Violet Distortion transforms your clean amplifier into a flexible and powerful distortion channel. Whether you're after subtle overdrive or full-on modern distortion, this pedal offers a wide array of tones and easily integrates into any setup. It's designed for guitarists who want to give their instrument a new voice.

Ultra-Flexible Tone Shaping

One of the standout features of the Violet Distortion is its innovative EQ design. The Midrange control is placed before the distortion circuit, giving you powerful control over the pre-distortion tone. This allows for precise tonal shaping, from scooped mids to boosted frequencies that cut through any mix. The Treble and Bass controls are placed after the distortion circuit, offering familiar post-distortion tone shaping for further refinement of your sound. This combination of pre- and post-distortion EQ makes the Violet Distortion one of the most versatile pedals in its class.

Perfect for Stacking

The Violet Distortion excels when stacked with other pedals, including overdrives, distortions, and fuzzes, making it an excellent addition to any pedalboard. Whether used as a primary distortion or a secondary boost, the Violet easily fits into any rig and delivers a range of tones that will inspire your playing.

Intuitive Controls for Maximum Flexibility

The Violet Distortion offers six intuitive controls for shaping your sound:

• Volume: Controls the overall output level of the pedal.
• Mid Sweep: Adjusts the frequency range that the Mid control affects, giving you the power to boost or scoop specific mid frequencies.
• Drive: Sets the amount of distortion, from subtle overdrive to full-blown distortion.
• Low: Adjusts the level of bass frequencies, perfect for adding depth or tightening up the low end.
• Mid: Controls the mid frequencies, with the range set by the Mid Sweep control.
• High: Adjusts the treble frequencies, allowing you to brighten or darken your tone as needed.
