They've Arrived
A Morning Glory, a NOTAKLÖN and the best features you've ever seen, in one compact enclosure. The first pedal in JHS’ new vertical two-in-one format with top-mounted jacks and power. Individual input and output jacks for each circuit — put anything between them, or give each side its own loop on a switcher. Expansive configuration flexibility. Red Remote jack for each circuit. Four separate gain stages, instantly accessible for live and studio use in one pedal.
A Letter from Joshua Heath Scott (JHS)
Every board I've owned since 2009 has had the same two pedals on it.
A Morning Glory and something Klon-esque have been on my pedalboards for as long as i can remember. The Morning Glory because I designed it as my take on the Marshall Bluesbreaker, and it's the best-selling pedal they’ve ever made. The Klon circuit because in 1995 Bill Finnegan built an overdrive that did the version of high gain overdrive I had always wanted, and I've been collecting and modifying them ever since. My JHS modification of his KTR was called the Shamrock mod, a nod to the Boston Celtics logo, because Bill and the Klon are from Boston and Larry Bird is my hero. In 2023 that mod became featured in the JHS Pedals NOTAKLÖN, a solderless DIY kit you build yourself.
Those two pedals are all the dirt I need and they do everything I want. I could do a gig with this pair of drives and a delay pedal and be perfectly happy.
The problem with every two-in-one pedal JHS has ever made — and almost everyone else’s — is that the two circuits are connected. You can flip which one comes first, but you can't put anything between them, and you can't give each side its own loop on a switcher. People asked us for independent jacks about a thousand times and JHS did it.
Not a Double Barrel with a new circuit dropped in
The Wanderer has four jacks. Use the main input on the far right and the main output on the far left and it behaves just like every two-in-one they've ever built, with a center toggle that points at whichever circuit is first in the series.
Use all four individual I/O jacks instead and the two circuits become completely independent. Put a compressor between them. Put a fuzz between them. Put your whole pedalboard between them — even JHS doesn't know why you would, but you can. Or run each side into its own loop on a switcher and save them in presets like two separate pedals. That's what they are. They just share a case and a power supply.
Four gain stages from two footswitches
Each side has a toggle, and each toggle has a Red Remote jack that lets you use the JHS Red Remote switch to activate the onboard toggle. Most gain toggles on overdrive pedals just swap out the clipping diodes. Not here. Flip the Morning Glory Gain toggle and an entire additional gain stage comes into the circuit — the LED turns red, and the pedal comes alive with more gain, a slight volume boost and a fuller sound. Flip the NOTAKLÖN +/- toggle and you get the Shamrock mod: +4 dB of gain, more midrange, and an additional stage of hard clipping. Down is the original Klon voicing, exactly replicated. Up is the mod.
Plug a Red Remote into either jack and you flip that toggle with your foot. Any latching amp-style footswitch works, and if you run a switcher with amp-control outputs, it can flip both from a preset — no Red Remote needed. Morning Glory stock, Morning Glory high gain, NOTAKLÖN stock, NOTAKLÖN with the mod. Two rhythm sounds and two lead sounds without touching a knob. With these four tones and the ability to stack them, reorder them and add other pedals in-between — the options are staggering. This is the best two-in-one format on the market.
HOW TO USE IT
Morning Glory first, on all the time, at the edge of breakup with the tone controls flat. Stack the NOTAKLÖN on top for the rhythm sound. Red Remote on the Morning Glory for the bigger rhythm, Red Remote on the NOTAKLÖN for the lead boost. That's how Josh runs it.
If you like your heavier drive first, flip the order toggle. If you run a switcher, use the individual jacks and forget the order toggle exists — it's out of the circuit in that configuration.
The NOTAKLÖN side with Gain fully counterclockwise is a clean boost, up to +16dB with the Volume. Push an amp that's already breaking up.
Single coils and humbuckers both work. If your rig is already bright, the Bright Cut switch on the Morning Glory side pulls the top end down.
Who This Is For:
If you already run a Morning Glory and a Klon-style pedal as a pair, this is your drive section in one pedal in a space-saving format with both circuits benefitting from Red Remote functionality.
If you run a switcher and avoided the inseparability of two-in-one pedals, the individually isolated I/O jacks solves this for you.
