The JHS Pulp N Peel V4 is a compressor, preamp, and DI in one pedal.
These are the three functions that cover most of what a player needs at the end of a signal chain.
The compression circuit is paralle with a Blend control mixing the compressed and uncompressed signal. It does this to preserve the natural attack and dynamics of your playing while evening out the sustain underneath.
The Dirt mini toggle adds harmonic grit ranging from warm to gritty.
The V4 update has an improved detection circuit for smoother compression and significantly increases the headroom on the Volume control. it also refines the Dirt voicing.
For bass players a balanced XLR output makes it a useful for direct recording.

FAQs
Parallel compression mixes a compressed signal with an uncompressed dry signal. The Blend control on the Pulp N Peel does this. It matters because you can mix in the original signal to make it a bit more suble and keep the nature of the original guitar tone.
It adds harmonic grit to the signal, ranging from a subtle warm tone enhancement at one extreme to a more gritty, driven tonal foundation at the other. It’s not a heavy overdrive, it’s a preamp-style saturation control that adds character without dramatically changing the fundamental sound.
