NotesGreat at on-the-edge blues to full-on scooped metal, the JD10 2.3 pedal is a re-created version of the famous direct recording preamp/pedal first introduced in 1995, but has been specially enhanced for LIVE use into a typical guitar amplifier. Named after Jerry Donahue of the Hellecasters, these pedals are truly pro sounding machines. 110% class in a small package! The distortion character has grunt and is fizz free just like a low powered class A or AB1 boutique combo. The blues tone? Think Eric Clapton 'Me And Mr Johnson' or 'From The Cradle'!! But it's no slouch either. In high gain modes it can provide that classy big 4x12" tone too! Just plug JD10 into the input of your guitar amp, like any ordinary stomp box. It works just like a high class preamp from many upmarket amps. All the controls operate exceptionally smoothly and have greater that average range, from jangly cut to full throated bass drive. The footswitchable TruTone bypass circuit prevents tone losses when in by pass mode. It will even drive a cable up to 100 metres long without tone loss! It stops those cheap chorus, flanger and delay pedal from squashing your guitars tone when they are ALL set in their bypass mode. Thanks TruTone! These fab pedals are British Made and have many never seen before features. The ‘two-tone’ black cases are made from special ‘sand’ grain and black powder coated 16swg steel, making them exceptionally rugged and able to withstand the hard life they might get on the road.
