Legendary Tone with a Modern Twist
A faithful interpretation of a tonal icon. The JHS Pedals Clover Preamp is your key to an unforgettable sound. Based on the circuitry from a highly-regarded unit that has found its way into the hands of guitar legends, the Clover gives you a plethora of tonal options whilst a selection of added features give you complete sonic flexibility.
This lucky tone shaper features four standard controls - Volume, Bass, Middle, and Treble. There's also a handy little 3-position rotary switch for selecting between Full EQ, No Mids, or No EQ. The Volume control lets you set your volume at unity gain, or you can turn it up and boost your signal. Perfect for pushing your amp or other dirt pedals for that extra edge and bite. The Bass, Middle and Treble controls let you cut or boost frequency bands for shaping your tone in a variety of ways.
Then there's the rotary switch. With three settings to choose from, you can adapt the EQ to suit your needs in a matter of seconds. The No Mid setting replicates the original circuitry, removing the ability to control the mid band. Instead the mids remain in a fixed setting whilst allowing you to shape your treble and mids. The No EQ setting removes any EQ adjustability completely, instead the Clover becomes a straight FET boost for pushing your amp or other pedals. The Full EQ setting lets you adjust every EQ control for precise sculpting of your sound. And if your tone feels too muddy? Simply flip the Low-Cut dip switch on the side of the pedal to remove some of the low-frequency content so you can cut through any mix.
Perfect for Electric, Acoustic, and Bass Guitars
When it comes to diversity, the Clover delivers. Whether you're blasting out searing leads from your guitar, punching out a tight bassline, or picking away on your acoustic, the Clover gives you that extra bit of magic to pump up your tone. Standard 1/4'' inputs and outputs let you connect your instrument to your amp in the traditional way, whilst a handy XLR output opens up even more connectivity options. This XLR connection has been designed specifically with acoustic and bass players in mind, giving you a perfect way to send your signal to an interface, sound desk, or more. And with a built-in ground lift, you can get rid of ground-related hum in an instant. With its simple design, premium construction, and phenomenal sound, the JHS Clover lets you express yourself exactly the way you want to no matter what style of music you play.
