Celebrating 10 Colourful Years of JHS's Stompbox Studio Preamp A decade down the line, the JHS Colour Box's “studio preamp in a stompbox” formula still stands as one of the most idiosyncratic and innovative products in the pedal universe. It's a pedal that's found a home on the pedalboards and studio tracks of countless artists — U2, Wilco, Muse, Collective Soul, Big Thief, the War on Drugs, Spoon, the National, Phantogram, and many more — for its ability to capture the raw and ragged sounds of a vintage preamp slammed into overdrive. The JHS Colour Box V2 10th anniversary edition celebrates this pedal's double-digit legacy with a limited-edition custom finish, along with all the same features that have made the Colour Box such a staple stompbox.
