Exact EP-3 circuitry, from the 22 volt power rail, to the JFET preamp (later spec), to the mixer stage, to the high gain silicon transistor based record and playback amplifiers, to the feedback loop. All circuitry is faithfully reproduced and fine-tuned from the original EP-3 specifications. The only thing missing are the record and playback heads, with a 24-bit high-fidelity digital delay line taking the place of the tape.All-discrete, through-hole construction with orange drop 225P capacitors, carbon composition resistors, germanium diodes, and other premium parts.

The Aero Series Pedalboard has been years in the works. While it is seemingly simple, each and every detail was carefully planned. From the thoughtful slot layout, to the convenience of having multiple handle placement options on larger models, to the radius of its edges, and down to how to make it as lightweight as possible and still strong. This is a board that took perfection to be so simple.Why a slotted flat board? The height of the board and the clearance below is the perfect amount of space for cable runs as well as small power supplies, such as The Gig Rig System, and others for ultimate space saving and minimalism. You’ll be amazed how much more you can fit on this board versus a traditional flat board. Foot Extension Kit: With the use of the Foot Extension Kit (sold separately), you can fit even more, raising the clearance from .95" to 1.45" which is enough for items like a Strymon Ojai or Zuma R300, or even the Elevation V2 patch bay. Just mount items like that with dual lock and you're all set. Features: Precision Cut from Aircraft Grade .1” Aluminum for exceptional strength and rigidity.

Spring reverb and bonus “room” reverb mode. Decay control to dampen or expand reverb. Retain your tone with all analog clean signal path. Trails option when bypassed Separate controls for the reverb and dry signal levels. Redesigned preamp for tube like dynamics and feel. Tone control for subtlety or in your face splash. By analyzing the design, sound and physics of real spring tanks we captured the nuances of tube driven spring reverb. Even something as innocuous as unplugging your guitar cable (kerplangagnangang)  sounds like real deal. A tone control allows you to dial in the perfect timbre. There is also an internal reverb send trimmer serving two purposes- 1. It allows you to turn down for hotter input signals. 2. It does essentially what the dwell control does on an outboard reverb tank. You can turn it up for a more dramatic effect or back it off for subtlety. Unlike a real spring tank the the decay knob allows you to dampen the springs for shorter reverb or bend the laws of physics resulting in long psychedelic resonating trails. The clean signal path is all analog. JFET amplifiers carryout the send and recovery of the reverb signal for even more tube like dynamics. The Super Spring Theory is equally at home in front of a clean or dirty amp. …But wait, There’s more! – Room Reverb There’s also that other reverb setting. ROOM. Don’t think of this as your typical subtle ambiance room reverb. That is certainly possible with the decay knob rolled back. The decay knob alters the dimensions from a broom closet to a cavern covered in ceramic tile with reverb trails over three minutes long. Like no other reverb pedal on earth. Every aspect of the Super Spring Theory was designed from the ground up. You won’t find a “reverb brick” inside. It’s not a datasheet design from someone else.  The Super Spring Theory uses our own DSP reverb algorithms that you can’t get anywhere else. More options In 2011 we set out to create the most realistic spring reverb simulation ever. The Spring Theory was born with authentic sound, feel and dynamics. Since then we’ve been taking notes for the next evolution. We listened and we know what you want. New features are packed in the same pint sized pedal. Now you can hear reverb tails when bypassed. Separate level controls for the dry and reverb sounds along with the new wide range tone control allow for subtle reverb to in your face salt water splash.

The ARP-87 is a compact, feature-rich delay, packed with a large pallet of inspirational delay tones. Featuring four main algorithms, digital, analog, lo-fi, and slap back, the ARP-87 can cover some serious ground in the world of echoes. The  Digital algorithm boasts pristine, crystal clear repeats great for rhythmic riffs. The Analog setting works well to add warmth and dimension to chords and lines without getting in the way. The Lo-Fi algorithm, with its adjustable frequency range on the repeats, goes from warm, warped, and murky, to strait AM radio. Finally, the Slap setting makes it easy to dial in a great slap back echo perfect for smoking chicken pickin’ runs. With other features like our smart bypass switching, and momentary knob ramp, the ARP-87 provides endless creative opportunities that are waiting to be explored.   The X knob changes functions depending on which Algorithm you are using. It adjusts a specific parameter in each algorithm. In Digital, Analog, and Slap modes, the knob will control modulation depth. In Lo-fi mode, the knob will control Filter width.  Note that when changing delay types this loads a whole new algorithm and the tempo must be tapped in again. Max delay time is 1000ms. Trails Mode The ARP-87 can be run in trails or no trails mode. In trails mode, when you turn the pedal off, the delay trails die off naturally. In no trails mode, the delay trails are abruptly cut off when you turn the pedal off. To toggle between either mode, hold down the bypass switch for 1 second while applying power to the pedal. Unplug power and repeat to toggle to the other mode. Momentary Functions When the switch is in off position, press and hold the Bypass Switch to temporarily activate the effect to add a moment of delay texture. Releasing the switch turns the effect off. When the effect is on, press and hold the bypass switch to momentarily ramp the X parameter to maximum. Releasing the switch sets the X parameter back to the knob location.  Press and hold the Tap Switch to temporarily ramp the feedback to maximum. Release to set the feedback back to the knob location.

In 2016 we released The Elevation Series. It received accolades from touring pros to weekend warriors all around the globe, and for good reason. Its unibody design was incredibly strong and self-supportive, yet extremely lightweight. Its hand crafted end panels were classy, but subtle. But over the years, we've been quietly working on some big improvements and we think we've done just that. Modular. In 2017, with the release of our Pro Elevation Series, we introduced a simple patch box and also incorporated that method into our Custom Shop models as well. Every box was drilled and laser etched for each order. We quickly realized that a modular system would streamline this process. When designing our modular system, we wanted to make ours aesthetically pleasing as well as ruggedly durable. All Elevation Series V2 boards come with 1 outer plate for mounting modules and 2 inner cover plates on each end. Simply remove the cover plate and install one of our proprietary modules. We believe this is the cleanest and most durable way to offer a modular system.  Slots. In 2018 we released the Aero Series with a very carefully laid out slot pattern and multiple handle holes. We pulled heavily on our years of experience building rigs for touring pros with extreme cable management. We wanted to mimic this capability on the Elevation V2. There are plenty of openings for cable management, but not so many to get in the way of mounting pedals. An added bonus is this makes the weight of the frame go down even more. It's not dramatic, but it may just save you from having to remove a pedal when you check it with the airline. Strength. As mentioned above, the Elevation has always been praised for its strength while remaining incredibly lightweight. This hasn't changed. It's only gotten better. By adding removable vertical braces on the larger sizes (24x12.5, 24x16, 32x16) they are more solid than ever.  Quality. Finally, with our Elevation V2, we wanted to maintain the quality that has become synonymous with the Creation Music brand. All aluminum parts are made from 5052 aircraft grade aluminum. Our powder coat is rock solid and done by a local company we're proud to partner with. Our wooden ends are top grade American Black Walnut and are finished by hand.

JHS Pedals is proud to release the Paul Gilbert signature distortion "PG-14!” This is a new and unique distortion pedal specifically designed to Paul's specifications.
