I Always Wanted This Sound: The JHS Crayon Preamp, Boost, Overdrive, Fuzz (Neve 1073 in a box!)

Today in the basement, Josh is going to go over the JHS Crayon and it's multifaceted uses and abilities. The Crayon is essentially the "overdrive" part of the Colour Box, or the red section. Here's some copy from our website about the controls:

"The Crayon has controls for Master, Pre-Vol, Tilt, and a Hi-Pass toggle. The Master volume controls the overall volume of the unit, while the Pre-Vol acts as a gain control to go from a gritty preamp drive to over-the-top gated fuzz. These controls work together to create a ton of colorful tones that are extremely useful. The Tilt control is an active EQ where when set at 12 o’clock you have a flat EQ, while turning clockwise boosts highs and cuts bass, and turning counterclockwise boosts bass and cuts highs. This gives the Crayon the ability to be tailored to any rig for bass or guitar. The Hi-Pass toggle cuts your low end with a flick of the switch for the ability to cut through the mix or get lo-fi sounds. There is a dip switch on the right side of the pedal to choose either 200Hz or 750Hz cut for the Hi-Pass."
