History

JHS Pedals was founded by Joshua Heath Scott in Jackson, Mississippi. He began by repairing and modifying his own pedals.[2]

In 2007 Scott began selling modified Boss BD-2s and other modified Boss pedals at Fondren Guitars in Jackson, Mississippi. Soon after, he began to develop his own circuits including the Morning Glory overdrive and the Pulp N Peel compressor.[3][4] In 2009 Scott moved the company to Kansas City, Missouri, eventually expanding to 10 employees.[3] JHS released the Panther analog delay in 2011 and also the SuperBolt overdrive and Prestige booster/buffer/enhancer in 2012.[5]

Scott was interviewed by Worship Leader Magazine in April 2012,[6] as well as in a builder profile for Premier Guitar in September 2013.[3] Guitarists such as Drew Shirley[7] and Jon Foreman[8] of Switchfoot use JHS Pedals.

In 2015 JHS collaborated with Keeley Electronics to produce a combined compressor and overdrive pedal.[9]
