The Moonshine V2 overdrive is a very unique and very tweaked version of the most famous overdrive ever created and housed in a little green enclosure.
The Moonshine V2 is still the core tone of the version one and retains the simple Volume, Tone, and Drive knobs. However on the Moonshine V2, JHS have added a new Clean knob to blend in any amount of clean signal to your tone.
The simple 2-position “Proof ” toggle gives you everything from low gain amp-like breakup with powerful coloured boost settings to grinding, heavy overdrive that reaches to the very edge of cranked amp distortion.
In the down position, you will find the highest gain settings, lots of saturation and sustain and the most mid-range goo available. In the up position are the more open and crunchy tones.
The up position also adds more overall volume and headroom to those searching for cleaner sounds.
The tone control goes down as smooth as Grandpa’s White Lightning, with none of the harsh ice-pick characteristics that many overdrives often have in the brighter settings.
Just like the SuperBolt pedal, the Moonshine uses an internal 9v to 18v charge pump that allows it to run on normal 9v but converting it internally to 18v for an enormous amount of headroom, added low-end, and more overall punch.
f you’re a fan of stacking overdrives, you’ll love putting this in front of or behind your favourite drive, booster or fuzz. The Moonshine delivers on any style amp, easily producing anything from SRV classic Stratocaster/ Fender amp tones with class to huge“wall of rock” The Edge-style force through a Vox.
Last but not least, it kills on bass guitar, the reason it was originally designed.
