Reviews

Happily compressed

Not just "good for the money", this is a really good no-nonsense pedal. I haven't found much use for the bright switch but not knocking it. Super sturdy build. A $ well spent as far as I'm concerned.

Music background: 40+ years making a living in the music business as a songwriter, musician, producer and touring artist/sideman.
JHS...What can you say!
Any of the 3 series is a great buy!
Compression For Everyone
I have one compression pedal, an inexpensive Behringer CS400 to let me learn how to use such a device properly. The CS400 is a nice pedal, but not durable, it was time to find a reasonably priced replacement. I tried several Compression pedals and the JHS Series 3 Compressor won the battle. Three knobs, volume attack sustain, and a toggle for brightness. Now that toggle switch is the key. Compressor pedals have a tendancy to darken the tone a little bit. The JHS gives you the option to brighten the signal or keep it au natural. This is very handy. The knobs easily tweak the compression parameters to suit your taste and playing style. As Josh says :It is a compressor. It compresses." I will add it does the job very well. I have four JHS Series 3 pedals now. The Delay, Overdrive, and Screamer are the others. I'm a huge fan of this pedal line. Well done Josh Scott and your team. You have made this guitar player happy at least.

Great Compressor for the Price!
This is a classic always on Compressor. Love the easiness of the controls. Sounds great. Compresses your tone just right. Does what it's set out to do!
Perfect Value
This compressor is exactly what I was looking for at exactly the right price range. Works as expected and the bright switch is a little something more than a basic compressor. Also feels very durable and well made for the price.
