JHS Pedals Little Black Amp

I MEAN IT'S OK

It's to expensive for what it do. Distorsion with that sound really bad, like garbage. When i looked online a lot of guys on YouTube recomended it for tube amps. But that thing it's useless. You just need to turn volume on the tube amp all the way down.

Your best friend if you live in a apartment

Very helpful for overdrive tones at low volume (bedroom level).

My amp is alive!

Excellent pedal, JHS quality, super simple and no power, small footprint, your amp and pedalboard will love it.

I thought my amp sounded a bit thin after I could push him during a rehearsal in a studio (Quilter US). After some research, this pedal deserved a try. The volume of the amp is 5, 7 for the gain, which would be unbearable in the living room without this pedal. It sounds amazing, at the right volume (relatives and neighbours could ( / should?) have paid for the pedal :-)

You can read in JHS manual it is recommended to have this pedal only in the effects loop of your amp. I moved the reverb and delay pedals in front of the amp, not an issue for me but something I was not aware of before I got the pedal.

Noisy

Bough it to place it in the FX loop of a tube amp to play while at home an be able to crank up the amp.

It's a cheap alternative to an attenuator but it creates some hum that disappears once you unplug it. I have a digital multi-FX pedal with a master volume option that does the same job but creates no hum.

Overall I'd say it's OK but wouldn't buy it again, I'd rather save and buy a +€250 attenuator if that's the reason you're buying this for.

Very good.

Very easy to use and useful.

Does what it is supposed to

Bought this because of my PRS MT 15 which was too loud for me to use at home. This thing works like a charm and doesn't seem to mess with the sound at all. Highly recommended for anyone who feels like they need a bit more control over their volume

Very useful for bedroom playing

I had a problem where I couldn't play with my amp how I wanted, but with the JHS Pedals Little Black Amp I can play at a reasonable volume with out losing any tone.

Does its job.

Nothing else needed for my Blues Deluxe Reissue, that is a notorious loud mischief machine.

The attenuation is just a tad too sensitive, and micro twist of the knob is essentially in between a fly buzz and open amp.

Absolute dream for a Peavey 5150

I got this for my Peavey 5150. Amazing amp but since lockdown hit back in march and theres no gigs this has been an essential tool for playing at home with proper saturated levels hitting the power amp.

For 50 bucks, this is something anyone with a high wattage amp should own in my opinion.

Pedal works fine!

Does its job very decent. I use it as a volume control for my Peavey 6505+ 112 combo and I put it in the effects loop. This way I have more detailed range for the volume on the amp itself.

The only thing I can remark is that the knob does not turn as smooth all around the range of the potmeter. turning from 0 to 50 percent, the knob loses 'smoothness' and becomes somewhat stiffer to turn. From 50 to 100 it becomes more and more smooth towards the 100%.

This does not affect the function and that's the only thing I can remark. In my opinion, great price/quality ratio.
