The JHS Double Dragon is an all-analog, monophonic lo-fi octave device with an octave down and an octave up. It is JHS's first octave device, built on the analog octave divider design of 40 to 50 years ago.
The lower octave is the foundation, thick and analog. The upper octave sits on its own footswitch and adds an octave-up distortion with a mid-range sting. Single notes track as a riff machine; chords make the circuit stutter and jump, and JHS treats that as part of the sound. Dry mixes your clean signal back in, and with the octaves off and Dry up, the extra boost on Volume turns it into an always-on preamp.
Bass players get the sub-octave weight under their lines too. JHS pairs it with a mid-heavy overdrive after it, or a fuzz after it for something wilder.
