The JHS 424 has completely changed the way I record guitar

I didn’t care about this pedal when it launched, and then John Mayer completely changed my mind. The JHS Pedals 424 Gain Stage isn’t just another drive box; it’s a Portastudio in a pedal: gritty, rubbery, lo-fi tone that flips everything you think you know about guitar sound on its head. In this video, I dive into how it works, why it’s way more than just a Mk.Gee machine, and how it’s changed the way I record and play.
