The Crayon
The JHS Pedals The Crayon is a versatile and captivating dirt box that pays homage to one of the most iconic guitar tones of the 20th century. Inspired by the piercing, compressed distortion heard on the Beatles' "Revolution 1," The Crayon replicates the magic of plugging a guitar straight into a British-style preamp, delivering a unique and inspiring tone. At its core, The Crayon is a harmonically-rich overdrive/fuzz hybrid that responds dynamically to your playing. The "Pre" control acts as a drive or fuzz knob, allowing you to dial in everything from subtle tube-like overdrive to snarling, gated fuzz as you increase the gain. The "Tilt" control provides an active tone shaping function, boosting bass and cutting treble or vice versa for endless tonal flexibility. But The Crayon goes beyond simple distortion. The "Hi-Pass" toggle switch lets you select between two different high-pass filter frequencies, enabling you to fine-tune the pedal's frequency response to perfectly complement your rig. This level of control is a game-changer, allowing you to sculpt your tone with surgical precision. Whether you're chasing that iconic "Revolution 1" tone or seeking a versatile dirt box that can cover everything from classic rock to modern high-gain, The Crayon is a must-try pedal. Its responsive, harmonically-complex character and wealth of tone-shaping options make it a powerful creative tool for guitarists of all styles. Add this Crayon to your palette and let your unique voice shine through.
