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. When we demo'd the JHS Morning Glory overdrive pedal here at Sweetwater, we loved the tone and touch sensitivity it imparted when we put it in front of our favorite tube amps.

For Transparent Overdrive, Nothing Tops the JHS Morning Glory





Winning more awards than any other pedal in JHS's extensive pedal library, the JHS Morning Glory is a modern standard in transparent overdrives ? famed for its ability to ramp up an input signal with tasteful touches of bite, color, and tubelike touch and saturation. The Morning Glory pedal belongs to the BB/KOT family of transparent overdrives adored by guitar greats like John Mayer and John Petrucci. So whether you're searching for bluesy grit or silky-smooth leads, the Morning Glory delivers. The Version 4 Morning Glory pedal (featured here) gives players twice the headroom of previous generations, along with the fan-favorite Gain toggle and Red Remote support, the latter effectively turning the JHS Morning Glory V4 into a powerful always-on pedal with the ability to call up a massive boost whenever needed.
