In the late 1970's the overdrive pedal was arguably perfected when Japanese engineers designed the sound that we now know as the heart and soul of so many of our favorite artists, recordings and sounds. Players ranging from The Edge, Trey Anastasio, Buddy Guy, Kirk Hammett, John Mayer, SRV, Carlos Santana and thousands more from every possible genre have utilized and depended on this classic iconic green box. If a single effect pedal was chosen to board a Voyager 3 mission and be solely responsible for showing the universe the sound of overdrive, it would undoubtedly be Tube Screamer. It is probably the most produced and sold pedal in the history of guitar pedals!  The Bonsai is our tribute to one of the greatest pedals ever created.

Following in the steps of our Muffuletta (released 2015), the Bonsai utilizes a simple rotary knob to switch through nine classic, vintage, rare, or hard to find variations of the Screamer. Creating the Bonsai became an archaeological dig of sorts that sent us deep into the history of this circuit by examining dozens of versions, variations and replications. At the end of it all, Josh chose nine of his personal and favorite units and we painstakingly replicated every nuance and aspect of each pedal. One of the most challenging parts of this project was accounting for component drift as many of these pedals were decades old and the internal components had strayed from their original values. Each pedal was individually replicated using our Audio Precision analyzer and various other methods that allowed us to perfectly replicate every aspect of the sound and feel of the unit. It's important to know that the Bonsai is not a "box of mods," it is exact replications of these nine units all house in one box! The Bonsai is an exact replication, not emulation. When you choose a mode on the Bonsai rotary, you are actually activating components specific to each mode and playing the unit that Josh choose along with all the quirks, drift, vintage mojo, and individuality that a vintage pedal has.

Let's take a look at the 9 modes of the Bonsai based on the 9 pedals we have chosen... 

  • OD-1 - 1977
    An overall brighter and slightly higher gain mode that does not utilize the Tone knob. This mode also inverts signal just like the original and has symmetrical clipping. The OD-1 is magical at boosting other drives or amps into singing saturation.
  • TS-808 - 1979
    The classic low gain with that signature pronounced mid range.
  • TS-9 - 1982
    Nearly identical to the TS-808 but with a slightly more pushed low-mid range.
  • MSL, Power or L Series - 1985
    Though metal is in the name, this sound doesn't quite inspire the modern metal djent we think of. Still it has a higher gain sound with a more low end and an overall more gooey feel.
  • TS-10 - 1986
    Made famous by John Mayer, this model is a slight upgrade from the TS9 for the late '80s. Bluesy, crisp, more low-end roll-off and low gain.
  • Exar OD-1 1989
    The EXAR is a Polish made TS-style pedal that has a slightly different drive character with a little more gain than the classic screamers as well as a slightly more transparent feel.
  • TS-7 (+mode) - 1999
    The hot mode on this version gives you the highest gain sound in the Bonsai. More low end and dirt fill out the tone to have you shredding away.
  • Keeley Mod Plus - 2002
    Robert Keeley's classic mod tightens up the tone on the original giving you smoother mid range and high frequencies, and increased bass response.
  • JHS Strong Mod - 2008
    Our own mod we've been doing since 2008 is much cleaner and overall more powerful. The mode has more pronounced higher and low-end drop-offs.

 

With the JHS Pedals Bonsai you can get the classic sounds of nine Tube Screamers in one pedal. Let the Bonsai help you find your overdrive zen.

Love this Dove!
I have picky and fussy skin! I never really know what might upset it, and cause it to freak out! I do know that the skin on my hands, particularly around my cuticle area, has an attitude problem! If I use the wrong nail polish or nail polish remover, wash my hands too much, if it's too hot or too cold, or if I just breathe wrong at this point; my cuticles are going to get wrecked! I've tried cuticle oils, cuticle masks, cuticle creams, and everything in between to help them; but to no avail! And what makes it worse, is that l'm a picker! So, once I see a flap of skin, I have to get rid of it! This is a bad combo! But, I'm really happy to report that this Dove Cream Serum REALLY helped!! My skin isn't near as inflamed, it's healed in a few spots completely, and I was even able to put some nail strengthener on them, without my cuticles feeling like they were on fire!! I used this product after cuticle oil to lock it in, and it helped so much!! It is odorless, so no perfumes to make the inflammation worse! It is creamy but melts down nicely into the skin! It lasts! And I love all of the extras in it like the hyaluronic acid and niacinamide! I've also started using this on my legs, feet, and my heels look like a baby’s butt! Soft and dead skin free! My strawberry legs have even started to look less noticeable.

My skin doesn’t feel any better. The lotion is very dry. Doesn’t spread well.

Awesome Body Lotion For Dry Skin and Some Reduction Of Age Related Wrinkles
Scent: Sweet Vanilla & Soft Wood, Size: 18.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have only been using this product for a short period of time, but I very much like the fragrance. The sweet vanilla and soft wood scent is a great combo and not overpowering. I like the texture of the lotion, which is a silky smooth clear gel and easy to apply. My age wrinkles are diminished and very much less pronounced. It makes my skin feel more supple, as I have dry skin and the lotion is perfect for that condition. It will definitely be my go to skin lotion going forward as I am very pleased with the cost and the improved skin condition is a very short period of time.
