JHS Pedals JHS AT+ Andy Timmons Signature Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal

Quick highlights:- the amount of configurability is insane. For example, there’s a center switch meant to replicate high end tube amps at different wattage- Does the work of multiple other pedal and then some. It’s not just an overdrive pedal, it also acts a tube screamer with its boost button- Matches the sound from the pros b/c it was designed for a pro Andy Timmons who shreds blues & rock- May not be for someone who wants a more metal sound but then I’d just put a metal effects pedal in front of the AT+ b/c it will only enhance your existing sound with its versatilityI found this pedal being reviewed next to other high end Marshall in a Box type of pedals & I was blown away at how smooth and warm it made every note.And I was not disappointed when I finally got one myself.Every pedalboard should have this pedal (or something similar). It made the mid to lower range amps I tried it out on sound like amps 10 to 20 times more expensive.I’ve heard it played on even better equipment and it just sounds that much better.So regardless of whether you have a low end or high end amp, have the JHS AT+ plugged into it.It’s solidly built. Worth every penny and then some.

Very wide range of distortion and tone. Takes extra time to understand the eq/air knobs. The boost is usable on its own and pushes the distortion in a pleasing way. Don’t be afraid to turn the gain down, it stays warm and plays nice with other pedals.

Best OD and Distortion with tone! I wish I bought this in the 80's!

Context: I am an “amp and guitar” kind of guy. I love the tone of a cranked vintage Marshall and its dynamics. I get my clean tones by rolling back the guitar volume. I play Strats, Les Pauls and p90 equipped guitars. I was looking for an easy way to get that kind of creamy, beautifully dynamic and expressive distortion in a pedal, to make my life easier and save a few ear drums..First impressions: i have never tried anything that comes as close to the real thing as this pedal. It is a joy to play. You will hear its sound on the many youtube reviews, but the key seller is how this thing feels under your fingers. I literally cannot put down my guitar. Josh nailed it. I particularly love the 100w headroom-y setting. Smooth, dynamic and assertive distortion that cleans up beautifully as you roll your guitar volume off (a must for me). Give it a go folks, you won’t regret it. Rock on!!!

I love it for playing lead. Very nice overdrive sounds that sing and very nice sustain. The drawback is chords sound muffled when playing rhythm because the pedal is midrange heavy. Also, did not like the sound out of the boost switch.

I cannot praise this pedal enough. Many years ago, I had a sweet JCM 800 which sadly died and was beyond repair. This pedal captures that old magic, but in a pedal. I only use it on the "100watt" mode because I really like and want that headroom. It works well with single coil and humbuckers and responds well to dynamics and volume adjustments on my guitars - clean up is sweet and you actually get that Marshall "bloom" that you can't get without an actual good Marshall. Get it now.

I'm a fender clean stratocaster tone guy. This thing is very different than my preferred tone but in a good way. To me this is really a pedal for heavy lead tone that sounds great with delay. This is a lot of distortion. This is not a overdrive or something to play rhythm with. My favorite part about the pedal is actually the boost without the distortion. It pushes my Fender amp just perfect and sounds amazing. Obviously there are probably cheaper ways to have a boost pedal but I thought I would share that anyway. Overall this is a wonderfull pedal.

It's amazing and there's not a bad sound in this Red box! Watch the video and it sounds better.
