JHS Clover Preamp/Boost Guitar Effects Pedal
In early 1984 BOSS released two strange new devices under the name “The Pocket Series”. One of those devices was the FA-1 FET Preamp and it quickly found its rightful place among the legends of tone when The Edge of U2 used it on the recording of “Unforgettable Fire” as well as placing it in his following touring rigs. The Clover Preamp/Boost is our faithful interpretation of the FA-1 but with several additional features that we believe make this amazing circuit even better. You won’t want to be without your lucky tone-shaper at any gig!

Despite being significantly less flexible, the Prestige sounds better than the preamp pedal ever did, and I believe ever could. The sound is full, and it is as if any loss that the cable runs caused has vanished. JHS uses buffers in their pedals, with this being…
Great Pedal! This is probably my favorite pedal on my board right now. Super feature packed. Great compressor but also a fantastic sounding buffer. I run this first in chain and it sweetens up my tone nicely. Sounds the same as JHS’s Little Black Buffer (which also sounds killer). Being able to switch the buffer on and off with the switch on the side is a great addition being that certain dirt pedals don’t cooperate with a buffer very well. I think the dirt mode on this pedal sounds good. Really…
