What the Muffuletta did for big fuzzes, the JHS Bonsai does for screaming green overdrives. Slap the Bonsai on your pedalboard, and enjoy unhindered access to four decades worth of pedals. There are nine different sonic textures to choose from. Want some classic mid-bump grind? It's in there. SRV-style dirty boost? Yep. Mayer-esque low-gain grit? You got it — and a whole lot more. The Bonsai isn't a modeler — it boasts the exact same components as the source units. So when you select a mode with the Bonsai's rotary control, your guitar signal actually passes through a replica of the original pedal's circuitry. With the Bonsai, you truly get nine overdrive pedals packed into one housing.
9 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+ tightens up your tone and gives you less noise, along with smoother mids and highs and increased bass.
- JHS (2008) JHS's "Strong Mod" gives you a cleaner sound with a serious power boost.
