JHS Pedals is a guitar effects pedals manufacturer with headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri.[1]
History
JHS Pedals was founded by Joshua Heath Scott in Jackson, Mississippi. He began by repairing and modifying his own pedals,[2] and then sold modified pedals at the local guitar shop before designing his own. Among his early models were the Morning Glory overdrive and the Pulp N Peel compressor.[3][4] In 2009 Scott moved the company to Kansas City, Missouri, eventually expanding to 10 employees.[3] JHS released the Panther analog delay in 2011 and also the SuperBolt overdrive and Prestige booster/buffer/enhancer in 2012.[5]
In 2015 JHS collaborated with Keeley Electronics to produce a combined compressor and overdrive pedal, the Steak and Eggs.[6]
In 2018, Scott and Nick Loux released the first episode of the JHS Show-- a video blog about guitar pedal history, products and inventors that has been described as "Bill Nye the Science Guy" meets "Mister Rogers".[7]
Pedals: The Musical
On 13 an 14 March 2021, JHS Pedals debuted Pedals: The Musical, a musical comedy about guitar (starring Josh Scott, Rhett Shull and Nick Loux) as a live YouTube JHS Show event.[8] The production was sponsored by Sweetwater[9] Sound Inc. and BOSS Pedals.[10] The production specifically focused on the first seven guitar pedals, invented between 1960 and 1970. Peter Kirn of CDM said that the production was "not quite Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat so much as its own Red, White and Blaine. But it is historically accurate."[11]
Josh Scott has announced plans for follow-up productions in the vein of "Pedals: The Musical," including performances focusing on the 70s, the 80s, the 90s, the 2000s, and the 2010s. Says Josh, "We want to do a prequel about the invention of the electric guitar from roughly 1931 through 1960. We want to do some straight plays – meaning just acting, no singing – about the lives of inventors like Les Paul, Leo Fender, George Beauchamp. All these people that have amazing narratives and stories, I could see us doing this for a long time; I’m pretty committed to it because I think it’s a fantastic avenue for teaching."[12]
Products
JHS manufactures and sells pedals with a variety of effects, including the "Colour Box"[13] overdrive.[14][15]
Artist collaborations and associated artists
JHS Pedals is known for developing custom pedals for artists including Andy Timmons, Butch Walker, The Edge,[16][unreliable source?] Mike Campbell, Ryan Adams, Stu G and most recently Paul Gilbert.[17]
Guitarists such as John Mayer[18], Madison Cunningham[19], Andy Timmons[20], Paul Gilbert[21], Jessica Dobson[22] of Deep Sea Diver[23], Roy Mitchell-Cardenas[24] of Mutemath, and Drew Shirley[25] and Jon Foreman[26] of Switchfoot[27] use JHS Pedals. A complete list of JHS Pedals artists can be found at the JHS website.
In 2019, JHS severed ties with Ryan Adams and stopped production of his signature pedal, the VCR, after Adams was accused of sexual misconduct. JHS announced they would be rebranding the remaining pedals to the Space Commander and using the proceeds to support work against sexual abuse and assault.[28][29]
JHS also collaborated with BOSS for their 40th anniversary and together they created the BOSS JB-2 Angry Driver.[30]
