All American Distortion
The JHS Pedals All American Distortion is a modern take on a revered classic, the venerable RAT distortion pedal. Beloved by icons like David Gilmour and Jeff Beck, the RAT's gritty, versatile tones have become the stuff of legend. With the All American, JHS has crafted a pedal that pays homage to this legendary circuit while expanding on its sonic potential. Where the original RAT had a somewhat harsh, spiky high-end, the All American smooths out the treble response, allowing you to crank the tone control without the sound becoming brittle or piercing. The bass and midrange frequencies have been expertly sculpted, creating a rich, enveloping distortion that can fatten up even a modest amplifier. But the real magic lies in the pedal's gain structure. The "sweep" knob gives you seamless control over the amount of gain, letting you dial in everything from a touch of grit to full-on, compressed distortion. And the three-way "clipping" switch allows you to choose between LED, silicon, or "open" clipping, each with its own unique character and feel. Whether you're chasing vintage rock tones or modern high-gain mayhem, the All American Distortion has the versatility to be the centerpiece of your pedalboard. It's a thoroughly modern take on a true classic, delivering uncompromising performance and sonic flexibility.
