JHS Pedals Charlie Brown V4 Overdrive Distortion Pedal Overview
This is the latest version of the JHS Charlie Brown pedal, with a new 3-band tone stack and yellow casing.
The JHS Charlie Brown V4 delivers the tone of the legendary Marshall JTM45, which means you’ll get warm cleans and rich dominant tones - from a low-gain gritty overdrive to a natural, crunchy bite and everything in between. It has 5 controls - the Volume control is simply used to adjust the output volume, Drive controls the amount of overdrive, and the remaining three controls, Bass, Mids and Treble, emulate a Marshall-style tone stack on the pedal to give you more control over your sound.
The JHS Charlie Brown would be great for anyone who wants a vintage Marshall sound but wants something a lot more portable and affordable.

Every guitarist loves the sound and feel of a Marshall JTM45 amp head. And with the JHS Pedals Charlie Brown V4 amp-in-a-box, you can put that same thick, chewy, old-school rock tone onto your pedalboard. In fact, we even outfitted the pedal with a Marshall-style 3-band tone stack to achieve a tone that would please Clapton himself. Whether you’re trying to replicate the Woman Tone, the character of Hendrix’s cranked walls of Marshalls, or Gary Moore’s higher-gain sound, they’re all waiting for you in the Charlie Brown V4. Grab one today, and turn your rig into a legendary JTM45.
