Our take

Who this one is for

The JHS Clover is a FET preamp and boost based on the BOSS FA-1 from 1984, with more EQ and an XLR output added. A rotary switch picks Full EQ, with Bass, Mids and Treble all working; No Mid, an exact replica of the FA-1 with the mids fixed; or No EQ, a straight FET boost for pushing an amp.

Volume sets unity or boost, and a Low Cut dip switch on the side trims muddy lows. The XLR output carries the same signal as the 1/4" output, for acoustic and bass players feeding a desk or interface, with a ground lift for hum. With up to +24dB of gain, its best work on electric is pushing a tube amp into its own overdrive: single coils pick up punch and depth, humbuckers pick up clarity and bite.

The Haunting Mids works on one band; the Clover is the full three-band preamp.

Questions we get

How much do I pay today?

Your choice: the full price, or a 25% deposit. On a deposit, the balance is due when it reaches the shop, before it ships to you. A deposit is paid by card or PayPal. Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay can't take one.

When will it arrive?

It varies by product, anywhere from two weeks up to several months. If you'd like a date for this model first, ask us in the chat and we'll check with the supplier before you order. If you're ready now, go ahead: we confirm the ETA by email once your order is in, and if it changes, we let you know and you can cancel.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time before the supplier invoices it and ships it to us. We refund what you paid less 3% to cover the card processing fee.

Once it has shipped to us it is a special order and final sale. If it arrives with something wrong, we put that right.

What if the price goes up before it arrives?

You pay the price you ordered at. Once your order is placed we hold that price, even if the supplier raises it before it arrives.

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before it leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

Can I finance it?

Yes, if you are paying in full. Pick Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at checkout in Canada or the US, or PayPlan by RBC in Canada. The plan, the rate and the approval sit with the provider, and you see the terms before you agree to anything. You pay a deposit by card or PayPal.
