JHS Pedals - Morning Glory Clean

The JHS Pedals Morning Glory Clean takes the concept of transparent overdrive a step further by combining the bluesy character of the Morning Glory with a genuine parallel mixing circuit. This allows you to retain the harmonics and subtle compression that make the overdrive so musical, whilst reintroducing the bass and dynamics of your original signal. The result remains open and precise, with an attack that retains all its expressiveness, even as you increase the Drive.

The four controls allow you to quickly find your ideal sound balance: Volume adjusts the overall level, Drive controls the amount of saturation, Tone brightens or warms the saturated sound, and Clean blends the direct signal with the overdrive signal. The Clean control works progressively with the Drive to avoid sudden changes in volume and maintain a consistent sound across different settings. Set Clean to maximum for a completely clean boost, or blend the two signals to add bite without sacrificing your guitar’s body.

This pedal is particularly effective at the start of your signal chain, to give your other effects more depth or to drive a distortion pedal with greater dynamics. Bassists will also appreciate the ability to recover the low-end frequencies that classic overdrive tends to attenuate, whilst users of amp simulators can enrich their sound without losing the precision of their attack. Its dual internal ±9 V power supply provides a wide dynamic range, and its top-mounted jacks and silent buffered bypass make it easy to integrate into your pedalboard.
