JHS Pedals Double Barrel V4 Overdrive Pedal

Ok. So I’ve spent a fair chunk of time with the JHS Double Barrel V4 over the past few days, and I remain absolutely blown away.

This pedal is one of the very few that gives me goosebumps. Paired with a latching remote (JHS sell their Red Remote, but they also encourage you to build your own, which is what I did), there is a ton of flexibility easily on tap - 5 different levels of gain at your feet.

I recently sold an Analogman KOT that I’d owned for a while, regretted it, and placed an order for a new one.

Then I got this.

To my ears, the Double Barrel v4 sounds better than the KOT by a long way, so much so that I’ll be cancelling the KOT order. The DB does everything I want it to do and more.

Tip. If you don’t already use your guitar’s volume pot/s, you should with the DBv4. Doing so makes it a game-changing pedal.

This is a stunning pedal. Simple to use and easy to coax some great sounds out of. Expensive? Yes. No doubt about it, but worth every penny.
