Crayon
By JHS Pedals
A simplified, single-pedal version of JHS's studio-grade Colour Box preamp, tuned for compressed overdrive and gated fuzz tones.
About this pedal
Billed as the Colour Box’s little brother, the Crayon pares that studio DI preamp down to Master, Pre-Vol, and an active Tilt EQ, moving from gritty preamp drive to over-the-top gated fuzz, with a switchable Hi-Pass filter for lo-fi, AM-radio-style tones.
