Charlie Brown V4
The JHS Pedals Charlie Brown V4 is an "amp-in-a-box" overdrive and distortion pedal engineered to capture the quintessential sound and feel of the legendary Marshall JTM45 amplifier. This pedal delivers thick, chewy, old-school rock tone and vintage British crunch, effectively transforming any clean amp into a gritty JTM45 stack. The V4 is defined by its comprehensive Marshall-style 3-band tone stack, featuring active Bass, Mids, and Treble controls that allow for precise tone sculpting, from classic Clapton-esque sounds to the cranked roar of Hendrix or Gary Moore’s higher-gain tones. The pedal's Volume and Drive controls interact dynamically, much like a master volume amp head, letting players go from warm cleans and edge-of-breakup grit to saturated, liquid rock overdrive. Its tube-amp-like response and powerful EQ also make the Charlie Brown V4 an exceptional pedal for stacking with other dirt boxes for complex, harmonically rich lead or rhythm sounds. It operates on standard 9V DC power.
