When JHS Pedals got the chance to team up with guitarist extraordinaire Stu G, they knew magic was on the horizon. Stu wanted a dirt box capable of handling everything—from delicate studio work to the high demands of international touring. The result was the Kilt, and now with the Kilt V2, JHS has delivered a compact, versatile pedal that raises the bar even higher.

The Kilt V2 builds on the foundation of the original: a deeply modified Expandora-style circuit that offers more tonal flexibility than you’d think possible. The circuit features a specially chosen op-amp, optimized for ultra-low noise, enhanced slew rate, and an overall improved feel. Whether you’re chasing light drive, heavy distortion, or face-melting fuzz, the Kilt V2 has you covered.

Three toggles make the Kilt V2 an ultimate tone-shaping tool:

• Cut/Flat toggle: Tighten your low end or unleash a massive bass response for crushing riffs.
• G1 and G2 toggles: Unlock a range of gain, from clean chime to aggressive distortion and fuzz. This resistance-based clipping method ensures unique tonal characteristics far beyond standard diode-based clipping circuits.

For added flexibility, the V2 introduces Red Remote compatibility, letting you toggle the G2 setting with a footswitch for seamless transitions between tones. The Kilt V2 is as bold and powerful as ever, now in a smaller, pedalboard-friendly form.

• Toggles down: Clean, amp-like tones with light breakup.
• G1 up: Adds punch and texture for dynamic riffs.
• G2 up: Saturated distortion with extended sustain for lead work.
• Both up: Unleashes gated, chaotic fuzz that cuts through any mix.

Step into the world of tonal exploration and let the Kilt V2 do the heavy lifting.
