Our take

Who this one is for

The Violet is a distortion and overdrive developed by Josh Scott with Brazilian guitarist Lari Basilio, and it plays like a new, flexible distortion channel added to a clean amp. The three-band EQ sets it apart from JHS's other distortions. The Middle control, and the Mid Freq knob that sets which frequencies it works on, sit before the distortion circuit and shape what gets distorted, which takes the pedal from overdrive to full modern distortion. Bass and Treble sit after the distortion for the familiar kind of shaping.

Gain and Volume complete the six controls, and switching is silent and soft-touch with a buffered bypass. It stacks well with other overdrives, distortions and fuzzes, as the main dirt or a second one. The PG-14 also puts a mid preamp ahead of its distortion; the Violet adds the separate Mid Freq control and post-distortion Bass and Treble. Built in Kansas City, in Black or Purple.

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.
