Perfect by it's Japanese designers in the late 1970's, the tube screamer overdrive quickly became the heart and soul of many famous artists and recordings. Players ranging from The Edge, Trey Anastasio, Buddy Guy, Kirk Hammett, John Mayer, SRV, Carlos Santana and thousands more from every possible genre have utilized and depended on various versions of these classic iconic green boxes.

JHS Pedals have taken some of the best variations, combining nine of them into one suitably green overdrive pedal, the Bonsai.

Using the same unique digital runway system featured in JHS Pedals other multimode pedals, each mode replicates the corresponding pedal by activating specific components. This means when you choose one of the nine iconic modes, you are playing circuits that perfectly replicate that mode down to the aging components.

Modes:

  • OD-1 - 1977: Overall brighter and slightly higher gain mode that does not utilize the Tone knob. Also inverts signal and has asymmetrical clipping.
  • TS-808 - 1979: Classic low gain with that signature pronounced mid range.
  • TS-9 - 1982: Nearly identical to the TS-808 but with a slightly more pushed low-mid range.
  • MSL, POWER OR L SERIES - 1985: Higher gain sound with a more low end and an overall more gooey feel.
  • TS-10 - 1986: Made famous by John Mayer. Bluesy, crisp, more low end roll off and low gain.
  • EXAR OD-1 1989: Slightly different drive character with a little more gain than the classic screamers, slightly more transparent feel.
  • TS-7 (+MODE) - 1999: The hot mode on this version gives you the highest gain sound in the Bonsai. More low end and dirt.
  • KEELEY MOD PLUS - 2002: Robert Keeley’s classic mod tightens up the tone on the original giving you smoother mid range and high frequencies, and increased bass response.
  • JHS STRONG MOD - 2008: Much cleaner and overall more powerful. The mode has more pronounced higher and low end drop offs.

THIS PEDAL REQUIRES STANDARD 9V DC NEGATIVE POWER, CONSUMES 20 MA, AND MEASURES 2.6"X4.8"X1.6"
