JHS Pedals - Hard Drive Tan Disto

The Hard Drive Tan was developed by JHS Pedals for those seeking unique and contemporary high gain distortion. With its multiple cascading gain stages and hard limiting circuitry, it produces rich, intense distortion sounds, reminiscent of the best tones of the post-grunge and alternative rock era of the '90s and '00s. Its intuitive controls allow you to easily sculpt your sound.

The Hard Drive Tan includes a Class AB amplifier section, accompanied by a sweepable midrange EQ and Baxandall controls for bass and treble. This setup allows you to fine-tune each sonic nuance to suit different playing styles and acoustic environments.

The Hard Drive Tan represents the culmination of the work of Cliff Smith, the former chief engineer of JHS. His unique design, finalized shortly before his death in 2021, is a testament to his passion and expertise. This project, carried out with care and dedication, embodies a true work of sonic and technical art, allowing musicians to benefit from its heritage and know-how.

By using the Hard Drive Tan, you have access to an incomparable sound creation tool. Each component and each circuit has been chosen and developed to provide an exceptional gaming experience. Whether you're in the studio or on stage, this pedal will provide you with stable performance and remarkable sound quality, while honoring the memory and innovation of Cliff Smith.
