JHS Pedals JHS Colour Box V2 Preamp Pedal - 5 Stage Gain & Ultra Clean Headroom

The JHS Colour Box V2 Preamp Pedal gives you studio-grade tone shaping in a compact pedal format. Its three-section gain block-master volume, pre-vol, and step control-lets you stack up to five gain stages, so you can move from subtle warmth to full-on distortion with a single turn. The master volume sets overall output, while the pre-vol acts as a drive knob, adding grit and character as you increase gain. A built-in output transformer preserves the richness of your signal, delivering a warm, dynamic response even at high gain levels. Designed for reliability, the Colour Box V2 safely passes 48 V phantom power, making it compatible with powered mixers and audio interfaces without extra adapters. Precision EQ shift knobs provide surgical tonal control, letting you shape mids, highs, and lows to match any guitar or playing style. The Hi/Lo switch unlocks ultra clean headroom, guaranteeing a 100% clean signal-ideal for acoustic guitars or pristine clean passages. Whether you need a versatile preamp for live gigs or studio tracking, the Colour Box V2 offers intuitive controls, robust construction, and tonal flexibility that adapts to every musical situation.
