JHS Bonsai 9-Way Screamer Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal
In the late 1970’s the overdrive pedal was arguably perfected when Japanese engineers designed the sound that we now know as the heart and soul of so many of our favorite artists, recordings and sounds. Players ranging from The Edge, Trey Anastasia, Buddy Guy, Kirk Hammett, John Mayer, SRV, Carlos Santana and thousands more from every possible genre have utilized and depended on this classic iconic green box. If a single effect pedal was chosen to board a Voyager 3 mission and be solely responsible for showing the universe the sound of overdrive, it would undoubtable be Tube Screamer. It is probably the most produced and sold pedal in the history of guitar pedals! The Bonsai is our tribute to one of the greatest pedals ever created.

Great Pedal
excellent overdrive/distortion pedal The old adage you get what you pay for definitely applies here. With a stomp of a button I can turn my Fender deluxe reverb amp into a scooped metal machine then dull it down to a gritty blues rock box with slight break up and chewy sustain and everything in between. If you have a valve amp and are looking to step up the quality your distortion or overdrive, this is a great choice. You can operate this pedal at either 9V or 18V with the latter giving yiu a bit more headroom. The buffered…
