Classic Tone with Modern Playability
The JHS Twin Twelve Channel Drive is the guitar effects pedal you need to get those classic tones of the past. The Twin Twelve has been hand-tuned to give you the tube tone of the classic 1963 Silvertone 1484 guitar amp. But JHS made the right tweaks to pull all of that great tube-saturated sound out of this pedal. Guitar players here at Sweetwater love when a piece of gear not only sounds great, but is as versatile as the JHS Twin Twelve - you can use this pedal to get great overdriven amp tones, as a solo boost, or even as your "before-anything-else" toneful guitar preamp.

To give the Twin Twelve its amp-like playability but keep it pedalboard-friendly, JHS employs discrete transistor stages that give you the tube tone and responsiveness you'd experience from the old 1484 amps. But JHS didn't stop at perfectly emulating that Silvertone voice. They give you the EQ and Volume controls of the old amp and added Drive control. There was no drive control on the original amp design, making it impossible to really pull the tone from the tubes at lower volumes. The Twin Twelve takes care of that, letting you overdrive with the Drive control and using your volume to control levels - it's that easy to get that great classic tone the big-name players are all after these days. The Bass and Treble EQ controls use a replica of the 1484's Baxandall tone circuit with slight improvements that are move effective and give you even more tone-shaping control. The Twin Twelve's internal charge pump boosts the 9-volt power supply up to a beefy 18-volts to give you playability and tone so superb you'll swear it was the real thing!
