## Overview

The JHS Colour Box Preamp Instrument Effects Pedal is designed to replicate iconic tones from classic tracks, offering over 39dB of gain for rich harmonics. With a variable Hi Pass circuit for precise tone shaping and the ability to run on 18V DC power, this pedal is essential for musicians looking to enhance their sound.

## Description

"Revolution" by the Beatles, Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog,” U2, Spoon, Pink Floyd, Motown, Quincy Jones, Nirvana, Steely Dan, Neil Young, Tears For Fears, and Tom Petty (the list is endless), all feature the unmistakable sound of plugging an electric guitar directly into a Neve* recording console. The Color Box puts the tone of those legendary pieces of recording equipment into your guitar rig whether performing live or in the studio. By using 100% analog circuitry that is true to the design and schematic of vintage Neve* circuitry, we reproduced everything that makes the Neve preamps magical. The Color Box’s two gain stages are in series to produce beautiful clean tones and can also be pushed hard to destroy any signal into a beautiful fuzzy mess. But of course we didn’t stop there. With ¼” and XLR inputs and outputs, the Color Box can also cover all the ground that you would expect a high-quality studio preamp to cover. Whether you’re plugging in your microphone, bass, keyboard, electric, or even your acoustic guitar, make sure you have a Color Box close by.

## Features

- Replicates the tone heard on such hits as “Cinnamon Girl” and “Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2”
- Pre Volume (labeled "Pre-Vol") can be used the same as you would a Drive knob on an overdrive pedal
- Over 39dB of gain on tap for rich harmonics and body
- Variable Hi Pass circuit (60Hz-800Hz) cuts low frequencies to precisely tailor your tone
- Runs on 18V DC negative center power

    Great piece of gear! Many uses and applications.
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2018*

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.

    Favorite drive pedal
  

*by S***F on Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2020*

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.

    This might have just become my desert island pedal.
  

*by M***K on Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2019*

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!
