The Morning Glory V4 is JHS's best-known overdrive, voiced to be as transparent as they could make it. It adds low to mid-level grit to a clean amp, pushes a crunch tone into thicker sustain, and gives a less responsive amp some tube-like touch response. The gain sweeps from completely clean up to rock 'n' roll.
For the V4, JHS moved the bright-cut switch to the side of the pedal and put a boost circuit, the Gain toggle, in its old place on the front, for more low end and grit. Plug in a JHS Red Remote and you can switch it mid-song with your foot, with the LED changing from blue to red to show the boost is on. This version also has twice the headroom of the one before it, which helps when you use it as a full-frequency boost.
The Morning Glory Clean takes the original V1 voicing and adds a parallel clean blend; the V4 gives you two gain levels and remote switching. Built in Kansas City.
