Introducing the JHS Colour Box V2, a sonic chameleon that brings the legendary sound of vintage recording consoles to your musical setup. Whether you're a guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, or vocalist, this versatile pedal enhances your tone with its fully analog, transformer-based design.

The JHS Colour Box V2 is more than just a pedal - it's a tone-shaping wizard capable of recreating classic tones or helping you produce unique signature sounds. Its harmonically rich character, thanks to the Lundahl transformers, can be subtly sweet or wildly overdriven, depending on your taste. At the heart of its design are two gain stages that provide everything from a gentle dusting of tonal sweetening to a full-on, gritty distortion.

The Colour Box V2 isn't just for live performances. It's an impressive studio tool, favored by engineers and acclaimed bands alike for adding personality and character to any recording. From vocals and bass to acoustic guitars and synths, this pedal can handle it all.

With expanded EQ controls, a Hi/Lo switch for clean headroom, and the ability to pass 48-volt phantom power to condenser mics, the JHS Colour Box V2 offers supreme flexibility. All these features are encased in a handcrafted, durable metal housing, a testament to the care that JHS invests in its products.
