From JHS Website:
Are you looking for an overdrive that is not transparent and adds its own character and attitude? The Moonshine is for you. Our Moonshine Overdrive is a highly unique and massively tweaked version of the most famous overdrive ever created and housed in a little green enclosure. Blues, rock, country, jazz, and even hardcore/metal players will find this is an indispensable tool for shaping and creating unique mid heavy tones for almost any need.
You’ll immediately feel at home with our basic Volume, Tone, and Drive knobs, so tweak away! The simple 2-position “Proof” toggle gives you everything from low gain amp-like breakup with powerful colored boost settings to grinding, heavy overdrive that reaches to the very edge of cranked amp distortion.
With the toggle down, you’ll find the highest gain settings, lots of saturation and sustain and the most mid-range goo available. In the up position are the more open and forceful crunchy tones that will make any amp beg for mercy. The up position also adds more overall volume and more headroom to those searching for cleaner applications. The tone control goes down as smooth as Grandpa’s White Lightning, with none of the harsh ice-pick characteristics that many overdrives have in the brighter settings.
Just like the JHS Pedals Superbolt, the Moonshine uses an internal 9v to 18v charge pump that allows it to run on normal 9v but converting it internally to 18v for an enormous amount of headroom, added low-end and more overall punch.
We wouldn’t be surprised if this is the most girthy, thick overdrive you have ever plugged into. If you’re a fan of stacking overdrives, you’ll love putting this in front of or behind your favorite drive, booster, or fuzz. The Moonshine delivers on any style amp, easily producing anything from SRV classic Stratocaster/Fender amp tones with class to huge “wall of rock” The Edge-style force through a Vox. On another note, you might find a few Dumble-esque lead settings that will have you feeling like you saved a cool $100,000 in search of that sacred tone. Last but not least, it kills on bass guitar, the reason it was originally designed.

I'm very disappointed in this pedal. I've dreamed about getting this bass tone ever since I saw this video for the first time 6 years ago, and have viewed/listened to it multiple times since. I finally found a JHS Moonshine v1 pedal on FB marketplace here in South Africa, bought it immediately, and finally arrived it this morning, just in time for the gig I played today. I tested it at sound check with my 4 string 80's Pbass over a very nice Markbass amp with a 4×10 cab, lined out the amp into a line array PA with x4 stacked Subs a side, and this pedal cut off most of my low end. I think they added back a lot of low end in the Post Production mixing of this video, because in my opinion it is unusable live. The loss in low end was to much for me to use this pedal at this or any gig. I might use it in studio, or use it with a EQ pedal or run it in a parallel loop, but i cant use it in a live gigging situation, unless I'm missing something. I should have gone for the V2 with the blend knob..
Can anyone tell if that’s an Audix D6 on the cab? Would love to get this tone, but the mic is a big factor… D6’s are craaaazy scooped and that could be a big part of what’s going on.
I'm getting red hot chili pepper flea vibes
Just picked this at a music store and it’s a crushing bass overdrive

Nah………….
I usually don't run pedals on my bass,but im deciding to give them a go,so getting all the tones straight in my head,overdrive is like a light distirtion,then you got straight up distortion,then there's fuzz at the top of the list,correct?
I'll put LS-2 in mix mode, a GEB-7 in the loop and Moonshine in the other loop and you'll get all the low end you need!!
that clean tone though! nice!
Thanks! Now I'm gonna have to spend some money lol
Mel timbre of Grand Funk is bass with distortion.
Y'all should do a demo of the EHX Bass Soul Food with the JHS "Bread and Butter" mod. Clean blend, -10db pad toggle, selectable buffered or true bypass, selectable gain toggle, & a bass boost toggle… One of the most versatile bass overdrives I've seen in a such a small footprint!
Seems to drag low end out of the amp? don't likerino.
THIS is a bass video. No slapping, no stupid licks, no weird 6-string active bass. Nicely done!
This is some of the best, bass overdrive I've ever heard.
what is the effect before turn on the overdrive?
1:29 ….man I love that tone.
how does this baby stack up againest the Russian made Big Muff?
Nice,really nice,gives really dirty sound!!
Yeah rounds are definitely more suited to this style. The extra high frequencies really give the drive a good sparkle
This is the sound I like on a bass, with presence, not some background noise like in some bands
