JHS Little Black Amp Box

The JHS Little Black Amp Box: Cranked Tube Tone at Whisper-Quiet Volumes

Control Your Amp’s Volume Without Sacrificing Tone

The JHS Little Black Amp Box offers a simple and effective way to tame the volume of your screaming-loud tube amp without compromising its tone. Designed to work seamlessly with amplifiers that have a series effects loop, this compact utility pedal lets you push your amp’s front end for that sought-after natural overdrive and dynamic response while keeping the overall volume at manageable levels.

Easy Integration and Passive Operation

Running the Little Black Amp Box through your amp’s effects loop gives you precise control over the signal sent to your amp’s power section. Its passive design requires no power source, ensuring your tone remains pure and uncolored. With high-grade components, this utility pedal maintains the integrity of your amp’s sweet spot at lower volumes, delivering clear and consistent performance every time.

Compact and Rugged Design

The Little Black Amp Box is as practical as it is effective. Its low-profile, compact design saves valuable space on your pedalboard or can be easily mounted under it. Rugged construction and a sleek black powder-coated finish ensure it will stand up to the rigors of gigs and rehearsals while staying out of sight when you’re on stage.
