JHS Pedals · pedal

The JHS Colour Box V2 10-Year Anniversary Edition is a limited-run colorway of the standard Colour Box V2, distinguished by a deep navy blue chassis as a nod to classic British studio gear, marking JHS Pedals' tenth anniversary. The underlying circuit is identical to the standard V2: dual gain stages with over 39dB of gain, wide-ranging Treble/Middle/Bass Shift EQ knobs, the Hi/Lo clean-headroom switch, and phantom power support for condenser microphones. The edition exists as a collectible finish rather than a functional or tonal upgrade.
