The JHS Moonshine V2 is anything but a transparent overdrive. This pedal is designed for the player who wants their gear to have a distinct personality and plenty of attitude. A heavily modified take on the most legendary "green" overdrive circuit in history, the Moonshine V2 delivers a thick, mid-heavy punch that is equally at home in blues, rock, or even high-gain metal rigs.
Enhanced Control & Massive Headroom
The V2 update introduces a Clean blend knob, allowing you to mix your unaffected signal back in for improved note clarity and low-end retention—a feature that makes this pedal just as effective on bass as it is on guitar. To ensure maximum impact, an internal charge pump converts your standard 9V power to 18V internally. This provides an enormous amount of headroom, a sturdier low-end, and a tactile "punch" that standard overdrives simply can't match.
The Proof Toggle: Two Distant Flavors
The heart of the Moonshine's versatility lies in the 2-position Proof toggle:
Down Position: Delivers high-gain saturation with maximum sustain and "mid-range goo." This is where you'll find the most compression and grit.
Up Position: Opens up the headroom for a more forceful, crunchy response. This setting offers more overall volume and a "cranked amp" feel that works perfectly as a colored boost.
Specs:
Controls: Volume, Tone, Drive, and Clean (Blend)
Toggle Switch: 2-Position "Proof" (Gain/Headroom selection)
Circuit Type: Highly modified classic overdrive with internal 18V charge pump
Power Requirements: 9V DC Negative (Standard)
Current Draw: Less than 100mA
I/O: 1/4" Input and Output
