JHS Hard Drive – Precision Gain with Punch and Clarity

The JHS Hard Drive is a focused, high-output overdrive built for players who need tight response, saturated tone, and articulate definition at higher gain levels. Whether you're riffing through palm-muted chugs, delivering aggressive lead lines, or stacking for metal-friendly saturation, the Hard Drive delivers high-gain tones without sacrificing clarity.

With a gain structure that cuts through the mix, this pedal offers a tight low end, forward mids, and a smooth top end that keeps your tone aggressive yet controlled. It pairs exceptionally well with both clean and driven amps, adding depth and edge without getting muddy or fizzy.

Originally designed as the final circuit by JHS engineer Cliff Smith, the Hard Drive is a precision-tuned overdrive that reflects years of tonal refinement.
