JHS - The Clover - Preamp

JHS The Clover is JHS' interpretation of the infamous Boss FA-1 FET Preamp, which was used by The Edge to record "The Unforgettable Fire". The pedal is particularly suitable as a boost / preamp for overdrive pedals or to let your tube amp overdrive nicely. With the EQ on the pedal you can then emphasize exactly the frequencies you want. If you have a Strat or Tele guitar then this pedal will provide extra punch, depth and dynamics. People with a Les Paul or a guitar with humbuckers will mainly get more clarity, bite and definition with this pedal. And whether you play country, rock, metal or even acoustic, this pedal is a welcome addition. The Clover has four knobs that allow you to adjust it to your taste. The Bass, Middle, Treble knobs control the low, middle and high of your sound respectively. The Volume knob speaks for itself. With the three-position switch you choose between Full EQ, No Mid and No EQ. In the No Mid mode, this pedal functions as an exact replica of the FA-1. In the No EQ position, the pedal becomes a clean (FET) boost. Besides the standard jack inputs and outputs this pedal also has an XLR output so you can use it as an acoustic or bass guitar preamp. Furthermore there is also a ground elevator switch in case you have problems with hum caused by an unwanted ground loop.
