Ghost Drive – V2F-L
Thank you for trusting JHV3 with your tone!
The design goal of the Ghost Drive
was to leverage the best ideas and
techniques into one pedal to create
an unusually versatile and inspiring
overdrive/boost to equip the player
for most any environment where they
need an outstanding drive tone,
enabling you to attain many different
forms of natural grit and overdrive
while preserving the magical dynamic
between your guitar and amp. Each
circuit is inspired by several great
pedals/builders that made a
significant difference in the way we
play. Several years were invested in
trial, error and iterations leveraging
component selection and techniques
to please the most demanding tone
snobs.
The independent clean boost and
drive sections were paired together in
the same enclosure to create an
remarkably versatile tool that
leverages the benefits of pairing
similar effects that would otherwise require more resources from your equipment setup. Here you'll find a range
from extremely transparent chime to warm/fat/rounded chunk. Certain to be one of the most useful low to
medium gain pedals you’ll ever own, this pedal will serve you well for years and quickly become a trusty “secret
weapon” whether you're playing live or trying to nail a remarkable in-context tone that get's you called back again
and again for session work.
As simple as you want it to be. Plug it up, dial everything to noon and go! On the other hand, if you're more into
the fine details of crafting tone that's unique to you, there's plenty of details to give you control over your dirt of
choice.
As a designer/builder my hope is that the Ghost Drive helps to inspire some of the greatest playing and art you'll
ever produce. As a listener, I'm looking forward to enjoying what you come up with!
Internal Trim Pots
There are three more adjustments on the inside to help fine tune the Ghost Drive for your unique application:
Drive Bass Control -
Adjust this
control to find the sweet spot between
your specific guitar and amp
combination. Leaving it neutral plus a
bit will allow single coil guitars to
remain full sounding without becoming
muddy. If your main guitars are
usually darker sounding (semi or full
hollow bodies) dialing this back a bit will help your tone cut rather than become "woompy" at higher gain settings.
It leaves the JHV3 shop at a fairly neutral position that covers most single and double coil solid body guitars.
