Great for Mild OD

A combo of the JHS Morning Glory and the Tubescreamer, this pedal's a beast. I mostly use the Morning Glory side for a light, mildly crunchy overdrive.

JHS Double Barrel

Low to Mid gain heaven.

The morning glory side is just perfect to beef up your tone, and the ts 808 side, well, its 808 sound with plus stuff.

Both turned on creates quite a lot of magic.

albertaco

The best dual channel overdrive of the last 5 years.

rips and cuts through at high volumes. it is great for any blasting your amp and sounding like a totally natural drive
