Product Review That’s exactly what this pedal is. Awesome pedal and I use it all the time. It took the place of my nano attack which is a awesome od as well. The thing that sucks about this pedal is that all the od models sound good hard to stick with one. Get and enjoy

Love The Bonsai

Product Review I love this pedal. It can be a bit daunting with so many variations but I stick with the TS10 mostly. Gain dialed down and volume dialed all the way up. Tone knob about 2 o'clock. Audible differences between some of the variations are subtle. The JHS and Keeley settings aren't to be ignored though. I run this through Fender Pro Jr and Blues Jr amps. By itself it's a delight. With a little bit of delay, it's superb - but that's my preference.

5 stars not enough for this pedal!

Product Review I purchased this pedal a few weeks ago with the intention of mainly utilizing the 808 setting but still having the ability to change to another setting if I desired to. I should have purchased this pedal years ago! Wow! The 808 is not even my favorite on this pedal... honestly they are all killer sounding depending on how you use it. I mainly plays blues/rock and the "XR" setting has been giving me joy. The TS7 setting, paired with my Les Paul gives me some very tasty, nasty overdrive perfect for Joe Bonamassa style rocking! The "JHS" selection is LOUD but incredible sounding! This pedal is a new toy to be discovered every single time I play it. The configurations seem endless when pairing with different guitars and amplifiers. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this pedal. If you are looking for a rock solid overdrive, this is the pedal for you! I'd give it 10 stars if I could!

Product Review For now, I really love the TS9 setting after my light distortion. I normally do OD > DIST but the Bonsai after my distortion gave me something pleasantly different. I'm digging it.

Product Review This really is an all in 1 answer to getting so many varied rock and metal tones in just 1 pedal. Super versatile, and sounds amazing. The 808 is so close to the vintage pedal its amazing. All around amazing pedal. JHS went above and beyond with this one for sure.

Product Review 9 tube screamers in 1. I absolutely love this little green pedal. I’ve used it in front of my Marshall JCM 800 and my Hughes & Kettner tubemeister. The boost sounded amazing on both of them. I highly recommend picking one up.

Product Review There are so many great sounds in this pedal. Each TS setting truly gives you a different variation. If you're considering the pedal I'd pull the trigger.

Product Review This pedal is awesome. Has so many great usable sounds and stacks really well. The only issue I have found is that the last couple pedal modes are a little louder than the others.

Product Review Only having this for a short time I can tell I will no longer be in need of any other tubescreamer. This Pedal literally has any kind of overdrive (screamer style anyway) a person could really need in life. JHS has been one of my favorite brands for sometime but this just shows how innovative and high quality their stuff really is.

Which Tubescreamer should I buy? This one covers it.

Product Review This little green monster is a tube screamer museum in a box. From the classic sound of the original all the way through the TS history up to the modern JHS Take on the genre is nine easy steps. The only negative thing I have to say is that they could have made it a little plainer that you need the power supply but I should have checked. It works amazingly well with Single coil and humbuckers and can go from rich fat tone through to a high bright scream. Love it!

Product Review This is a fantastic pedal. Get get tones from 8 classics and one JHS preference for the price of just one of any of these pedals super good deal. Been using non stop and it turns out that the JHS setting is my favorite!

OD Heaven

Product Review I had seen this OD pedal on the JHS YouTube page and really liked what it can do. I was looking to get the 808 or TS9 OD pedal but why get one when you get 9 ODs in one pedal? The best part is these are not emulations but rather the actual circuitry in the pedal. I use it for playing blues, classic rock, rock, and metal. Really happy with it, and it will make the other guitar player in your band jealous that he doesn't have one.

Product Review I didnt have high hopes for this unit but it actually sounds like the models it is trying to replicate. It allowed me to sell all my tube screamers except for 1 sound tank model that was never popular. I highly recommend this unit it allows you to fine tune your sound to exactly the timbre you hear in your head. It is a little pricey, but like me it let me sell multiple units so....I really like this unit. highly recommended.,

Product Review Great concept, works well. When using, you realize the subtle differences between the different models. It allowed me to sell 3 tube screamers. There are 2 models it doesnt cover. The mini and the TS-5 soundtank which is plastic but sounds really good.
