OVERDRIVE/FUZZ- JHS The Kilt ....from almost dead clean to deadly aggressive


 JHS THE KILT v.2 

Version 2
$200.00 USD
It all started with  StuG of the band Delirious. He was both the bands guitarist and producer.
He had been using an Bionic Expandora Fuzz/Overdrive but wanted something more versatile.

the Bionic Expandora
When JHS stepped in they started there but tweaked it until he had what they wanted.
It had resistors to boost or cut the dirt to give you a sweet transparent low gain, a Marshall medium gain and a screaming high gain plus a bass boost and an overall boost that can be pre or post EQ. The gain of v.2 is higher & is even more popular then v.1

Version 1





 THE BIXONIC EXPANDORA 

IF IT'S NOT BROKE DON'T FIX IT
This defunct  pedal was based of the Proco Rat. The big difference is just that the Pandora is dynamically receptive to the players touch and is much less compressed.It was later bought by the Japanese who brought out the Bixonic Expandora II. It was fuller sounding ahad a slicker sound
and was further expanded on by JHS and is called the KILT and now the KILT II.
All the 'improved models' are slick and polished ...but I feel have lost their course and organic tone.
