The JHS Pedals Angry Charlie is an overdrive pedal that creates that classic British Marshall tone.
The Angry Charlie has become a staple of the JHS line over the years. It is a force to be reckoned with in the high-gain pedal territory. Its ability to convincingly and accurately breathe JCM800 tones into any rig has made it a popular choice.
Unlike many other British amp-in-a-box pedals, the Angry Charlie V3 sports a 3-band tone stack. This is just like Marshall’s amps, helping nail those warm yet searing tones and boundless sustain. If you are a glutton for British high-gain overdrive/distortion, the Angry Charlie V3 will change your life. Well, your gear life.
British “Amp in a Box”
Turn the Drive control down, and you might be surprised how bluesy and vintage-like this pedal sounds. The Angry Charlie distortion has always been one of the more aggressive British amp-in-a-box pedals out there. Either way, you’ll be injecting your amp with the grit and attitude of the UK amplifier heads that gave rock ‘n’ roll its teeth.
- Turns any amp into a screaming Marshall stack
- Go from bluesy Hendrix-like breakup to high-gain Brit tones with a twist of the Drive knob
- Drive and Volume control interact the same as a master volume amp head
- Back off your guitar’s volume to control your gain levels without losing clarity
Marshall Style Tone Stack
After a couple of extremely well-received versions of the Angry Charlie, JHS realised that to really nail the ultimate Marshall-style tone, they had to add Marshall-style control, so they gave you a finely tuned Marshall-style 3-band EQ. Enjoy!
- Fine-tune your tone with controls for Bass, Middle, and Treble
- Active controls boost and cut their selected frequencies
