3 Series Chorus Pedal Review

Just right

This chorus pedal is perfect for me. Anything from subtle to sea sickness. Simple controls,quiet and built to last. I checked the review by josh on you tube and decided on this pedal. The guy knows his stuff and the price is good .. the pedal doesn't have any fancy paint job (to keep costs down) which I personally like. After all I'm not using it for the looks,I'm using it because… read more it sounds great .. î

Sounds like a 300 dollar pedal

I was using a Mooer Ensemble King (supposedly a Boss CE2 copy)...seriously great sounding chorus but started to get noisy and hum. Researched several chorus pedals. Bought a MXR chorus...and then returned it for a JHS chorus. Like night and day. From dull wooshy warbling to a rich, syrupy chorus. Think Roland JC120, or think Rush lol. I would say the best feature other than the… read more sound of this pedal is the range of control with the knobs. Each control has a wide range and obvious effect on the sound and output. 12 thumbs up !!

Three knobs and a switch!

Yes- this is a simple to operate chorus with everything you need and nothing you don't. Great sound, better price; what else do you need?

BIG FAN OF THE JHS 3-SERIES

The 3-Series from JHS provides a delicious tonal diversion in a world of $199-399 weirdly named pedals with fancy paint jobs. You can OWN the entire 3-series of seven pedals for less than a single modeling pedal, you'll have a lot more hands-on control and dare I say, fun, in the process. Check out Josh on the JHS web site demoing every 3-series pedal, it's a great video and shows… read more that the designer of these pedals "gets it", he totally understands what these pedals do and why each one exists. The 3-series is made in good old Kansas City Missouri, USA. Being a former 48-year resident of that wonderful state I am grateful for Josh and company for trying to figure out how to do it in the USA and make a good living in the process. The Fuzz and Distortion effects in the 3-Series are great. The 3-Overdrive has a LOT more of what I want from a Tubescreamer than the green one from the original company. The 3-Fuzz can get really out there, all the way to classic Black Sabbath, I like that a LOT! For the high price a certain LA boutique manufacturer charges for a single "buzz" pedal you can buy all three of the distortion producing 3-series JHS pedals and cover a lot more musical ground in the process. What means more to you? Bragging rights about some N.O.S. germanium transistors or wicked tones and lots of them to choose from? If you chose wicked tones then the 3-Series has something for you. The 3-Series are built in heavy duty cast aluminum enclosures and finished in flat-white so you can add your own fancy paint work to make them stand out. The 3-Series Delay, Chorus and Reverb offer high quality ambient effects in spite of their bargain basement prices and generic vanilla exterior finishes. The 3-Series Compressor is better than a certain big brand name that sells for $299. Not as many controls on the JHS-3 but all the tone is in there if you look for it and adjust the knobs (and switch :-) willingly. I literally have hundreds of pedals in my studio storage room but the ones that are lighting me up are the ones I can use everyday, they are low noise, they have published power specifications, they offer meat and potatoes effects without ridiculous prices or weird female names. I bought all seven of these JHS 3-Series pedals because I realized, they're going to change the face of inexpensive effects that sound good and are built in the USA. What's not to like unless you're a Chinese manufacturer, in which case, hopefully you're also a guitar player and will just enjoy using these finely crafted American effects from a midwest original. You Go Josh! Good music to you and everyone! 3-Series Rules!

Lush, simple and Amazing value.

What a fresh new take on a chorus. Love the construction, the simple layout and compact size. It has an amazing tone, doesn't cut any of your low end and gives you plenty of depth for complete customisation. Another awesome pedal from JHS!
