JHS Bonsai 9-way Screamer-style Overdrive Pedal Covid Edition
The item pictured is the actual item you will receive!
At Texas Tone Factory, we take actual pictures of each instrument and make sure they are fully set-up and ready to play before we ship them. Each instrument goes through a multi-point inspection, followed by a set-up process by our Luthier.
This inspection Includes Cleaning and Refreshing all the parts of the instrument, Electronic, Pots, Switch, Jack, Frets And full Setup With low Action.
Replication, not emulation
The Bonsai packs nine vintage and often hard-to-find versions of the definitive green overdrive into a single pedal. When he designed the Bonsai, JHS founder Josh Scott examined dozens of versions of this famous stompbox and authentically reproduced their circuits. He was meticulous, capturing every quirk of the original components using an Audio Precision analyzer. He even accounted for drift, as the original pedals were decades old, and their components had strayed from their original values. The result is a replication, not an emulation. When you plug into the Bonsai, you're playing through the exact same circuitry as the original pedals. No digital modeling is involved — it's pure analog all the way. At Sweetwater, we love the authentic vintage mojo that we get from the Bonsai.
Nine overdrive pedals packed into one housing:
- OD1 (1977) A brighter and somewhat higher gain mode that doesn't utilize the Tone knob
- TS808 (1979) The classic low-gain grind with the signature mid-bump
- TS9 (1982) Similar to the TS808, but with a brighter, SRV-style sound
- MSL (1985) The "metal" version produces a higher-gain sound with more low end
- TS10 (1986) Replicates the bluesy low-gain sound popularized by John Mayer
- XR (1989) Duplicates the Polish-made EXAR OD1, known for its unique drive character and slightly higher gain
- TS7 (1999) The late-'90s overdrive with a "hot mode" that yields more gain and low-end dirt
- Keeley (2002) Robert Keeley’s classic Mod+ that tightens up your tone and gives you less noise, along with smoother mids and highs and increased bass
- JHS (2008) JHS's "Strong Mod" that gives you a cleaner sound with a serious power boost
JHS Bonsai Features:
- Overdrive pedal that packs 9 classic overdrives into a single housing
- Replicates 4 decades' worth of pedals using analog circuitry
- Boasts the exact same components as the source units
- Dial in the perfect sound with Volume, Tone, and Drive controls
- True bypass switching preserves your tone when the pedal is off
- Ruggedly built and handwired pedal
This is a used instrument and does show some signs of slight use, but has been fully tested and functions as expected. Please take a moment to review our pictures, as they accurately portray the true condition of the instrument.
*For your protection all purchases over $99 will be shipped signature required and Full Insurance.
You are buying a quality instrument made of wood. Each instrument goes through a pre-shipment inspection to ensure you are getting a great quality instrument. However, please keep in mind when instruments are shipped, they can endure temperature changes as well as doing the "shipper shuffle" and therefore minor adjustments may be needed to set up the instrument to your personal preferences after receiving it.
