The Violet has a key feature that makes it awesome. | Secret Weapons


JHS has always been good at drives but there are a few key tweaks to this design that really make it a keeper for me.

  • Mark, I appreciate this video! It's awesome. I recently bought a Kilt, then a week later I saw the JHS video about The Violet. Now I own both…. for the moment at least. Can't decide. Thoughts on stacking? idk. I know I've got to figure it out myself, but your thoughts would still be appreciated.

  • as always, excellent video. I watch you, not just for the reviews, but to learn how to listen to, and describe, audio.

  • Excellent demo!

    I’d love for them to put out a clean / low gain pedal with this feature set. The Violet doesn’t seem able to do a clean boost even with the gain way down, there’s still a lot of distortion there.

  • i love this pedal for the mid freq especially. like having a flavour that i could get a boogie tone out of my friedman IR-D. get the right frequency and boost or cut would get you really close. It's a sound engineer/guitarist dream.

  • That intro track…brilliant as always. I was hoping you'd review this one, since I knew you'd cover the low-to-mid gain range, and the full range of the mid control. Thank you!

  • This pedal sounds great and your intro tracks are what keep me coming back every video… amazing melodies, riffs, playing and production! Thank you. JHS, please get Mark on!

  • A brand like JHS would do well to have someone like yourself as a paid consultant. You have an outstanding understanding of what you hear and why you're hearing it. For many channels it's little more than a collection of adjectives to sound knowledgeable but on this channel it comes from raw enthusiasm overlayed with some real in depth expertise. Good for you Mark

  • As a predominantly jazz player….i am super excited by this pedal. Especially to get clean dirt.
