Description

Unleash the celestial sounds of the JHS Space Commander. This versatile guitar pedal serves as your ticket to the retro era, delivering the iconic chorus and reverb sounds of the 80s, coupled with a potent clean boost. With its straightforward controls and capability to use each effect separately or collectively, this pedal is your cosmic compass, guiding you through your sonic adventures.

The Space Commander comprises three key effects, each controlled by a dedicated knob—Boost, Chorus, and Reverb. Each effect can be independently activated by a toggle positioned beneath the knob. The master on/off is managed by the footswitch. The Boost is a robust transistor boost designed to elevate your rig's volume or drive your amp into natural breakup, an ideal feature for tube amplifiers.

The Chorus embodies a classic swirling 80s style chorus. Adjusting the Chorus control influences the speed and depth to create your desired sound. The Reverb is a hall reverb, perfect for injecting that 80s style decay into your sound. The Reverb knob controls your reverb mix, capable of transitioning from fully dry to fully wet.

Key Features:

  • Classic 80s style effects
  • Individual bypass toggles for each effect
  • Simple controls for easy tweaking of your sound
  • Master bypass footswitch for engaging all effects simultaneously
  • Powerful transistor boost for volume enhancement or natural tube amp breakup
  • Chorus and Reverb effects with adjustable controls for creating a variety of sounds
  • Reverb mix control for transitioning from dry to wet sounds.
