The JHS Kilt 10 marks ten years of the Kilt, the overdrive and distortion JHS built with Stu G of Delirious? in 2015. It works the same way as the Kilt V2, with a reworked clipping circuit for more headroom, a smoother attack and slightly more compression and distortion on tap, and a gain knob whose first quarter now gives usable low-gain textures.
Volume, Gain and Tone sit above three toggles. G1 and G2 select four clipping options, from both down for the lowest gain to both up for the heaviest gated fuzz, with G1 adding overdrive and G2 adding fuzz. The Low-Cut toggle trims bass and now suits a wider range of amps, modellers and software included. A JHS Red Remote plugged into its own jack switches G2 from the floor.
The polished aluminum finish nods to the original Kilt V1, paired with Expandora-style knobs and an updated Kilt icon.
