Features

  • Compact and versatile tone-machine
  • When both toggles are down, you are in the lightest gain setting, amp-like chimney breakup
  • G1 flipped up adds a touch of drive for more riffy grit
  • G2 flipped up puts you almost into distortion land, with more saturation and sustain for lead tones
  • Both toggles flipped up sends the Kilt V2 into almost uncontrollable gated fuzz/distortion that will cut through anything

Description

When the opportunity to work with Stu G came about (legendary guitarist, writer, producer, and founding member of UK band Delirious) we couldn’t pass it up. Right out of the gate Stu G wanted a dirt box that could essentially cover any-and-all ground he needed for his studio work and extensive touring gigs. From that request the Kilt was born, and for the V2 we have refined it to be a compact and versatile tone-machine.

    • Great piece of gear! Many uses and applications.
Style: Colour Box
This is a multi-functional box that can be used in several different ways. My main use case for this pedal will be to simultaneously use the XLR and 1/4 outputs, to go to a board/interface and amp. It is important to note that it is quite easy to get bad sounds out of it. You have to dial it in based on how you're using it and what you want out of it. At low gain this is a very open and uncompressed sound. As gain is increased it starts to compress and eventually enters into signal destruction land which can be a really fun sound. The EQ controls can cut or boost. When I first plugged in this pedal, I read the manual and noticed that you get the most headroom and least noise when you use XLR in and out. I used an unbalanced-1/4 to male XLR from my guitar to the Colour Box and ran XLR out into my recording interface. I wanted to see if it could really get that Helter Skelter direct-to-console distortion. I immediately found it, which was really cool, but I but soon realized how difficult it is to make adjustments. You have to pay lots of attention to the overall output level coming out of it or else it can overload the signal going downstream. Also the high pass filter really helps when you're using it as a direct box, or else things can get really boomy and overly bassy. ... show more

    • One of the best pedals I've ever owned.
Style: The Kilt
I have probably had over 100 pedals, many of which were drive pedals. The JHS Kilt is one of the most versatile drive pedals out there. The best part is the type of OD/Distortion. It is really clear and can get really nasty, in a good way. Love this pedal!

    • This might have just become my desert island pedal.
Style: Colour Box
I originally picked this up to experiment using this as a "direct" channel for recording electric. However, in a pinch i used it as a pre-amp for my acoustic, feeding the output into a (previously unused KRK V8). WOW! The result is amazing. Yes, it' does a great job direct tracking of electrics with DAWs, faithfully and easily producing those iconic tones. But for me, where it REALLY shines is as a pre-amp (paired with one or more powered monitors) for performing on acoustic. Thanks, JHS! ... show more

I got this to run on a little mini board next to my Helix. It has exceeded my expectations and I absolutely love this thing. This with the red remote and a Wampler Tumnus are my entire drive section and it covers everything I need beautifully. It really is as versatile as everyone says it is. It sits awesome in the mix with a fairly flat eq but adding some brightness. It’s also really touch sensitive and feels really good to play. With the flick of a switch you have an awesome fuzz pedal. I kick the Tumnus in when I need a little mid boost to move forward in the mix. They are a match made in heaven. ... show more

    • If you’re looking to get interesting sounds like the Colour Box at a fraction of the price
Style: The Crayon
If you’re looking to get interesting sounds like the Colour Box at a fraction of the price, this is for you. It’s a quirky pedal because of the way it gates out some frequencies with the volume and tilt turned up, but you can still work some warm drive sounds out of it. It probably won’t be your main dirt pedal, but it’s a cool addition to any board. ... show more

    • Big sound in a little package
Style: Mini Foot Fuzz
This little pedal unleashes a big punch at the kick of a switch. The +\- switch makes this thing pretty fun and versatile. The only thing keeping me from a five star is that the power adaptor jack arrived either slightly damaged, or misaligned inside. The inside of the hole seems to be crimped in or something, making it difficult/impossible to get the adaptor in all the way until I went at it a little bit with a small screwdriver. ... show more

    • Best Dirt Pedal out there.
Style: The Kilt
Pulled my OCD of and put this one one and haven't looked back. Does everything you could possibly need and some. Get the red remote switch and thank me later.
