The JHS Pedals Crayon is a simplified, powerful version of the Colour Box, designed to deliver the tone and character of a vintage studio preamp. From gritty preamp drive to over-the-top gated fuzz, it offers a full range of compressed overdrive and fuzz tones used on countless classic recordings.

Compact and versatile, the Crayon works for both guitar and bass, giving players DI-ready tones without an amp or speaker.

• Master Volume: Controls overall output of the pedal
• Pre-Vol: Acts as gain control from subtle grit to extreme fuzz
• Tilt: Active EQ – 12 o’clock flat, clockwise boosts highs/cuts bass, counterclockwise boosts bass/cuts highs
• Hi-Pass Toggle: Cuts low end for mix clarity or lo-fi tones (select 200Hz or 750Hz via dip switch)

These controls combine to provide endless tonal possibilities, easily tailored for any rig.

• Preamp DI tones: from low-gain grit to gated fuzz
• Active Tilt EQ for precise tonal shaping
• Hi-Pass switch for lo-fi or mix-cutting sounds
• Compact design that delivers all the color of a vintage preamp

The Crayon is the brightest crayon in the box, giving your tone all the color you need!
