In the words of JHS Pedals:

In 2012, I had a crazy idea for a tone shaping device that had never been

done before in the world of guitar pedals. I wanted to create an effects

pedal that replicated the hard to achieve sounds of “direct-in”

electric guitar recordings that I loved.Bands like the Beatles, Spoon,

Wilco, and Steely Dan had used this technique for years, but it was

nearly impossible to recreate live.

I wanted this pedal to transform my guitar rig into the tonal equivalent

of a Neve studio console, and that was no small task. After lots of

trial and error, experimentation, and re-works, this concept evolved

into something far beyond what we had imagined.
