JHS will not fail to impress. The JHS Pedals Colour Box V2 Preamp Pedal in Guitar Pedals is New, in stock, and ready to ship with fast, reliable delivery across the UK, Ireland, and Europe.

Some of the very best guitar tones were created going “direct-in” to a studio console. It had been almost impossible to recreate that exact tone for live playing – until the arrival of the JHS Pedals Colour Box. Now in its second iteration, the all-encompassing preamp stompbox receives some much welcomed updates, including phantom power, an expanded EQ and a high headroom switch.

The Colour Box V2 produces a clean, studio-grade sound in the style of a Neve console, of which you might find at Abbey Road Studios and other famous recording locations. You can rely on the Colour Box to be the foundation to your tone, whether you’re running it in your amp effects loop or in a smaller power amp-to-PA setup. 

Controls

A new set of EQ controls expand the Colour Box’s already impressive tone shaping abilities even further. The treble, mid and bass shift dials adjust specific frequency ranges, letting you put more emphasis on finer details in the spectrum. Meanwhile, the Hi/Lo gain switch allows for a broader selection of gain stages. You can crank the volume with more headroom on a Lo setting, or switch over to Hi where it distorts more readily for crunchy and fuzzy goodness.

Great for Instruments and Vocals

JHS Pedals found musicians weren’t just using the Colour Box with electric guitars – it produces incredible tone for acoustics, bass, synths, drums and even vocals. That’s why the Colour Box has a 100% clean signal to accommodate all instruments, as well as an XLR slot and 48v phantom power for microphones. The pad switch adjusts the level for XLR to help tame high output mics. 

Key Features

  • Addittion of an Output transformer

  • EQ Shift Knobs for precision EQ control
  • Hi/Lo Switch for ultra clean headroom
  • 100% available clean signal even on acoustic guitar

  • Runs on standard 9V DC Neg power

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Stuff About Preamp Pedals

Preamp pedals are designed to shape and boost a guitar’s core tone, often acting as the front end of an amplifier or as a complete amp-style sound on a pedalboard. They can add clean gain, warmth, EQ control, or amp-like drive, and are commonly used to improve signal strength, push an amp harder, or run directly into a power amp or recording interface. Understanding output level, EQ controls and how they interact with other pedals helps players use preamp pedals effectively in both live and studio setups.

The Important stuff

Pedal — Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on.
