Two Stackable, Sought-after Overdrives in One
Tone stacking for low-to-medium gain settings doesn't get any better. The JHS Double Barrel V4 features the latest versions of two of JHS's most popular drive circuits: the Morning Glory V4 and Moonshine V2. The Morning Glory side is based on a popular purple-and-gold overdrive known for its transparent gain and touch dynamics. This works well as a clean boost and to add subtle dirt and sparkle to amp breakup. On the Moonshine side, you get classic shades of green midrange-forward overdrive for glassy solos and thick chordal crunch. A top toggle switch lets you stack and re-order the Double Barrel V4 on the fly, while independent Drive, Tone, and Vol controls let you dial in each tone to taste.

Stack these drives however you like
While each section on the Double Barrel V4 sounds sweet enough on its own, the real magic happens when you combine them. Looking for a juicier crunch tone? Run the Moonshine into the Morning Glory for added gain. Want a throaty solo boost? Toggle the Morning Glory into the Moonshine, then dial in to taste. Since both pedals are contained within the same housing, there are no cables to swap and no footwork to master.
Morning Glory V4: transparent tone and touch sensitivity
The JHS Morning Glory overdrive pedal adds dirt to your guitar tone without changing its fundamental character. Dialing in your sound with the Morning Glory is a piece of cake, thanks to its straightforward layout. Simply crank the Drive control until you reach your desired level of overdrive, twist the Tone knob to hit the sweet spot, then set your master output level with the Volume knob. A Gain toggle activates a boost mode that yields more power, more low end, and more high-gain sizzle. Sweetwater reviewers loved the tone and touch sensitivity this pedal imparted when placed in front of our favorite tube amps.
Moonshine V2: tubelike saturation with an added kick
Transparency was never the calling card of a certain legendary green overdrive. And it's that same mid-forward crunch that inspires the JHS Moonshine. Whether you're dialing in a little clean boost or you've got the Drive control dimed, Moonshine remains responsive to your touch and your guitar's volume control. And thanks to the V2's addition of a blend control, you command how much note clarity your tone contains.
