Product Rating Product Review I love that you can control how clean your drive will sound along with the tone of the guitar. I play in a worship team but it has lots of use for the classic sounds outside a church setting. Other than when i don't want any drive sound, i always have it on and I can see how this could also help out a when in a budget as you can use the boost sound and make it sound like you have a couple pedals instead of just one. I got it since 2023 and can see myself using it for years to come!

This has a fantastic transparent sound to it. Just enough grit to enhance your "clean" sound

Product Review This pedal is a staple on my pedalboard. It keeps my overall tone while giving it a dirty boost. I really like the Gain setting toggle to pair with the footswitch. It can act like a solo boost or as a more gain stage than the other. I've had it for a short time but once I played it I knew it was gonna be a part of my sound. It met my expectation and then some. It's simple Volume, Tone, and Drive knob are so easy to use just move til you like what you're hearing.

Product Review This thing is great! Adds harmonic content to already driven amps or sends a clean “edge of break up” amp right into that sparkly sweet spot. Highly recommend for all applications! And build like a tank. Love JHS and AMS!

Product Review Superb transparent/bluesbreaker style overdrive. This guy is on all the time. It’s great for adding some girth to clean tones and bumping up the gain on the dirty channel of my amp (Orange Rocker).

Product Review Great overdrive. Very open sounding, without that tubescreamer mid-frequency bump. Great little dirt box!

Love This Pedal

Product Review I use the Morning Glory with the Red Remote and the JHS AT Plus. This combination gives me all the sounds I need. Both pedals are very versatile. With the Morning Glory, I can get a great 60's tone, just on the edge of breakup. I step on the Red Remote and get another level of overdrive that is very useful. The Morning Glory is dynamically sensitive which I don't find in all pedals. I generally use various Fender amps from a Blues Jr. to a re-issue Twin, and the Morning Glory sounds great through all of them.

Product Review The JHS Morning Glory V4 in my opinion is one of the best transparent overdrive out there. Really gets you your amp tone with a light overdrive. Does it very well and also plays great with other drives for stacking options. Thank you American Musical for your great selection of gear and easy payment plans! Always my first place to check when buying my gear! -Kelvin Villacorta

Product Review This is my first JHS pedal and while fitting to buy their flagship pedal and was a bit of a Christmas present to myself and I'm glad I indulged. Its a great Low-Mid gain overdrive pedal, that retains your amp & guitar's tone. This pedal could be a one-stop shop for distortion if you're looking to keep the tone of your guitar and add a little grit. The Hi-cut switch is a huge help when I change out guitars, and the gain toggle also helps to beef-up the sound. This pedal does exactly what it set out to do when I first bought it and should be a staple on all pedal boards.

Excellent transparent Overdrive

Product Review Excellent transparent Overdrive. I have literally purchased over 50 overdrive pedals trying to find the “just right“ sound. Crystalline, transparent, but still with a little bit of mid range girth and “Voxey-ness.” This pedal does that. I find most overdrive petals to have way too big of a mid range bump that ends up sounding quite muddy to me. Not so with this one. It’s a keeper!

Product Review I have always wanted a morning glory from jhs. So, I finally called and bought one. The salesperson was extremely wonderful and helped me being my first purchase from this company. The sounds are everything from a light tone color to full on zeppelin sounds! It also works well with other pedals too. I stack mine with a Klon clone and the tonal overdrive/distortion tones are almost limited less. I also like this version, due to the ability to switch between blue/red modes with a foot switch!

MY FAVORITE PEDAL OF ALL TIME!!!

Product Review I CANT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS PEDAL. ITS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL BLUESBREAKER PEDAL AND BETTER THAN THE SNOUSE BLACK BOX OR ANY OTHER BLUES BREAKER CLONE IVE EVER TRIED. AND WHEN YOU BUY IT GO AHEAD AND GET THE LITTLE RED FOOTSWITCH AS WELL, IT TURNS THIS THING IN TO A DUAL OVERDRIVE PEDAL. I TYPICALLY PLAY WITH IT ON ALL THE TIME SET AT A MILD OVERDRIVE AND THEN KICK IN THE RED FOOTSWITCH FOR THE SECOND GAIN STAGE WHEN NEEDED. BUY THIS PEDAL YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!!

Product Review This pedal adds depth and richness to my guitar tone without coloring it. Plenty of headroom and responsive controls. Very transparent and responsive, allows your dry signal to get through to make your overdriven tone truly yours and dependent on your fingers.

Product Review I've owned the older version of this pedal & wasn't really satisfied, but thought I give this new vs 4 a go. I'm totally blown away, great headroom & clarity! The gain toggle switch is nice for that extra punch! You got to add the red remote for complete control. This was my first purchase with AMS and definitely won't be my last, very prompt delivery & great customer service. Thanks!

Product Review I'm always on the hunt for good overdrives and I've heard many things about the Morning Glory, but never tried one. Well, I can see what all the fuss is about. This thing is really nice with great clarity and great dynamics. I love the high end on this, it never gets harsh like some pedals when you raise the tone/treble. Built like a tank and cosmetically beautiful. Excellent investment.

Product Review I’ve been looking for an overdrive pedal that fits for me, and I’ll tell you right now that this pedal is the best versatile pedal I’ve ever owned. It’s transparent and mixes well with any other pedal or amp I’m truly impressed. And if you’ve never tried it I suggest it anytime.

Product Review One of the better looking pedals on my board. I picked this up to use as a clean boost, but engaging the boost with the JHS Red Remote (AMS doesn't carry it) kicks it into higher gain for leads
