Product Description

JHS SUPERBOLT  SUPRO AMP (Jimmy Page) replicator Clearing out stomp boxes & amps since I now use Kemper Profiler.

The JHS Superbolt is a handbuilt, touch-sensitive overdrive/boost pedal that emulates vintage Supro amps. That saggy tube rectifier color and character of those 50s and 60s Supro amps were made famous by Jimmy Page and plenty more players. Ever hear the solo on "Stairway to Heaven"? JHS crammed all that tonal goodness into this small box.
Get the Sound Youve Heard for Decades!There are certain sounds that left an indelible mark on modern music, and the JHS SuperBolt overdrive pedal re-creates that sound through your amp. Designed to replicate the sound of certain amplifiers heard on legendary recordings by Jimmy Page and Brian Setzer among others, the SuperBolt gives you the touch sensitivity and power amp sag that made the original amps so much fun to play through. Cranked up, the SuperBolt is mean and nasty, but without the brittleness that haunts so many other overdrives. At lower settings, you get a more subtle, darker tone suitable for jazz or less aggressive music. However you use it, the JHS SuperBolt will reinvigorate your pedalboard.JHS SuperBolt Overdrive Pedal at a Glance:•Classic amp and overdrive tones in a pedal•JHS pedals are handcrafted tone machinesClassic amp and overdrive tones in a pedalThe JHS SuperBolt controls are pretty basic: Volume, Tone, and Drive. They work together to re-create the classic sound youve heard for decades. Even though the original amps were devoid of a Master Volume, the SuperBolts Volume knob works in conjunction with the the Drive knob. Dial in your grittiness and manage the volume with the Volume. The Tone control is used to shape the treble content from dark to bright and anything in between. The Hi/Low toggle acts much like the Hi/Low inputs found on older amps, with the Hi setting giving you more headroom, upper mids, and grit, and the Low position being a mellower setting with a darker tonality.JHS pedals are handcrafted tone machinesWhen you plug your guitar into a JHS pedal like the SuperBolt, youre tapping into care and passion that few manufacturers put into their products. Each JHS pedal is handbuilt and tested by the JHS team in Kansas City, Missouri. Because they design their pedals for specific musical purposes, were sure theres a JHS pedal thats perfect for any players rig.JHS SuperBolt Overdrive Pedal Features:•The classic amp sound youve heard for decades in a compact pedal•Dial in sounds from edgy to mellow with ease•Hi/Low switch adjusts the amount of headroomVintage amp and overdrive tones made easy with the JHS SuperBolt!Coming of age in the ’70’s, I was raised on Led Zeppelin. I often imagined a studio filled with Jimmy Page’s giant Marshalls and Oranges, with dozens of microphones arranged at various angles. Surely that’s how the Gods achieved such massive sounds! So imagine my surprise when I learned that much the Zeppelin sound was created with low-wattage, department store amps.The SuperBolt is JHS Pedals’ attempt to deliver that exploding-little-amp sound in a stompbox. The all-analog pedal is based on the sound of the Supro S6420 Thunderbolt allegedly used on early Zeppelin records, and it manages to replicate the sounds of the Silvertone, Supro, Harmony, and Oahu amps Valco built in the early ’60s.Stomp on a SuproThe “Supro-in-stomp” idea isn’t new—other companies have explored similar circuits. Still, JHS should be applauded for bringing something other than another TS-9 variation to the masses. The layout is simple: The drive knob works like a Valco’s volume knob—the higher the setting, the more break up. The pedal’s volume knob is a master level control, which Valco amps don’t have or need, though it’s a handy feature here. Just dial in the drive, set the output volume, and you’re off.The wide-ranging tone knob takes you from dark and mellow to—let’s face it—what you probably want from a pedal like this: the sound of a vintage budget amp jacked to within an inch of its life. Yet the SuperBolt isn’t a one-trick pony, and its other tone options are worth exploring.There’s also a high/low mini-switch, which replicates the dual inputs on some of those old amps. The fact that the down position is “high” may be counter-intuitive, but it’s easy to sort once you start playing. I view the settings as two useful sonic options, one grittier than the other.Heavy as LeadI grabbed a Telecaster Standard and a Carr Sportsman, turned up to the threshold of distortion, and clicked on the SuperBolt, dialing in the best “Olympic Studios ca. 1968” sound I could muster. I loved how chords sounded: super-crispy, but not fried. Intervals and partial chords were lively too, as ringing strings and harmonics clanged against each other. The sound inspired new riffs—everything I played made me think, “Man, I should remember that one!”Single-note playing was less impressive in terms of sustain, so I gravitated toward staccato phrases. While this might dissuade some from choosing the SuperBolt as their sole overdrive, I liked the way it took me out of my comfort zone, forcing me to think and play differently. Plus, what you get in trade for less sustain is a surprisingly open and uncompressed sound.I also tried the SuperBolt with a Fender Musicmaster Bass amp. Pairing a low-wattage tube amp with a pedal designed to replicate one might seem like gilding the lily, but the combination was fantastic. Recording into ProTools using a Sennheiser 421 and a Neve preamp clone got me those Zep sounds, as well as classic Kinks chords and ZZ Top boogie tones.The VerdictThe SuperBolt can generate huge sounds in the studio. Ironically, it can make your $3,000 boutique amp sound like the Christmas present your cool grandma bought from Montgomery Ward back in 1964. But when it comes to recording, it’s the ends, not the means, and on that count, the SuperBolt delivers the goods.
