The JHS PG-14 is a signature distortion pedal created in collaboration with Paul Gilbert, the virtuoso rock guitarist known for his high-speed technique and complex riff-based playing with Mr. Big and Racer X. The PG-14 delivers the saturated, harmonically rich distortion character associated with Gilbert's tonal approach, providing enough gain and sustain for his demanding technical playing while retaining note definition and articulation at high speeds. Suited to hard rock and metal lead playing where technique and clarity are primary concerns.
The Revv G3 is a pedal version of the Purple channel distortion from Revv Amplification's acclaimed amplifiers, delivering high-gain, harmonically complex distortion with the clarity and dynamic response of Revv's tube amplifier circuits. The G3 Purple channel is known for its aggressive yet articulate high-gain character.
