Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.65% — moderately similar

The JHS Kilt V2 is a distortion pedal taking after the sound of British amplifiers of the 1960s and 70s, covering low-crunch through to high-gain territory in one circuit. The V2 revision is the standard production version sold alongside the limited 10th Anniversary edition. It suits classic and hard rock players wanting British amp-style distortion from a pedal rather than a transparent overdrive.
The JHS Kilt 10th Anniversary is a limited edition of the Kilt marking ten years of the pedal, described by JHS as an overdrive, fuzz and distortion in one — a wider remit than the standard V2, which is voiced around British amp distortion alone. Anniversary editions of this kind typically add circuit options as well as cosmetics. Buyers comparing it with the V2 should confirm which additional voices are included.
