Few things are as enjoyable as rocking out through a dimed guitar amplifier, and thanks to its FET-based circuitry, the JHS PG-14 delivers that exact sensation. Designed to the exact specifications of guitar virtuoso Paul Gilbert (Racer X and Mr. Big), the PG-14 gives you a stadium-level experience — the touch, feel, and response of a pushed tube amplifier — at manageable volumes. The PG-14 gives you a bevy of sound-shaping controls, but this distortion stompbox’s crown jewel is its active mid-frequency preamp. With it, you’ll benefit from a vast range of sonic options. If you want to add a scorching, high-octane dirt channel to your rig, the JHS PG-14 is a great way to do it.
Carving out your ideal dirt tone is easy with the JHS PG-14. Volume and Tone controls enable you to decide how much you want to punish the front end of your amp, then dial in your basic sonic signature. An active mid-frequency preamp in front of the PG-14’s FET distortion circuitry allows you to sculpt your guitar’s voice with exacting precision. Finally, Drive and Push controls adjust your gain level while replicating the performance of a pushed-to-the-brink tube amp. Paul Gilbert is a longtime friend of ours here at Sweetwater, and we’re stoked to be able to offer his signature distortion pedal — it’s one of our favorite dirt boxes. Plug in, and you’ll understand why!
