The JHS Pedals Morning Glory V4 is the overdrive that put JHS on the map. It’s a transparent, touch sensitive drive inspired by the Marshall Bluesbreaker.
It adds grit and richness without the characteristic mid-hump of a Tubescreamer.
Your guitar and amp character stays front and centre. The pedal works with them rather than adding its own voicing.
The V4 update doubles the headroom of earlier versions and replaces the front-mounted bright-cut switch with a Gain toggle that adds a more powerful, low-end enhanced boost character.
The JHS Red Remote (sold separately) lets you switch the Gain toggle mid song with a tap of your foot, effectively giving you two Morning Glorys in one pedal.
