The \u003cstrong\u003eJHS Pedals Morning Glory Clean Overdrive Pedal\u003c\/strong\u003e features clearer pick attack, improved low end, and more versatile gain stacking. This is the ultimate first-stage overdrive pedal. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eTHE PROB­LEM WITH TRANS­PAR­ENT.\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you add over­drive — any type of clip­ping — you lose nu­ance. Pick at­tack gets com­pressed. Dy­na­mics nar­row. All overdrives shape frequency response, even the most transparent. So JHS tried some­thing no one's done: they took the Morn­ing Glo­ry (a Blues­breaker-style topol­o­gy) and com­plete­ly re­built it around a stu­dio-grade par­al­lel clean blend. Not just a mod­i­fi­ca­tion, a re­design from the ground up. On pa­per, it seemed point­less — why blend a clean sig­nal into some­thing al­ready trans­par­ent?  Here's why. The Morn­ing Glo­ry's magic happens when you turn up the Drive, the circuit boosts higher harmonics and adds soft com­pres­sion. Jan­g­ly. Per­fect in a mix. The par­al­lel clean cir­cuit lets you keep all that while di­al­ing the nat­ur­al low end back in — all the tone, all the char­ac­ter. Noth­ing com­pro­mised.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eTHIS ISN'T A CLEAN KNOB SLAPPED ON A MORN­ING GLO­RY\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clean con­trol uses a dual-gang po­ten­tiome­ter. As you turn it, clean gain scales pro­por­tion­al­ly with the drive sig­nal — it’s per­fect­ly en­gi­neered from the ground up. Most clean blends are an af­terthought — a sim­ple mix knob tacked onto an ex­isting cir­cuit. This one was de­signed so the two sig­nals track to­geth­er across all gain settings. No vol­ume jumps. No weird phase is­sues. Just seam­less blend­ing from Morn­ing Glo­ry to pure sig­nal and every­thing in-be­tween. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe pow­er sec­tion runs on a ±9V dual sup­ply — the same topol­o­gy as the V4 — which gives you high­er head­room than the orig­i­nal V1 cir­cuit and any oth­er Bluesbreak­er-style ped­al out there. This is where most clones get it wrong. Think of it as the orig­i­nal Ver­sion 1 Morn­ing Glo­ry voic­ing with the V4 en­gi­neer­ing en­hance­ments. The Tone con­trol af­fects only the over­drive path. Your clean sig­nal stays par­al­lel and un­touched. For the peo­ple who care about this stuff: this is the most thought-out and so­phis­ticat­ed Morn­ing Glo­ry JHS have ever built. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eEND­LESS HEAD­ROOM AT ANY VOL­UME\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eEnd­less head­room. Those mas­sive clean gui­tar sounds that you love on record­ings — most were made at vol­umes that would get you evict­ed. The Morn­ing Glo­ry Clean gives you the stiff­ness and au­thor­i­ty of a high-wattage amp at the edge of breakup — with­out the earplugs.  Think of the Clean con­trol as adding back in wattage, clar­i­ty, and punch.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eIT GOES ON EVERY­THING\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eStack a dis­tor­tion in front and the sus­tain opens up in­stead of clos­ing off. Run it af­ter de­lay for new territories of series\/parallel textures. First-stage over­drive? This is the best JHS ahve ever built. Pe­riod. It breathes in front of amp mod­el­ers too. The over­drive and pres­ence of the classic Morn­ing Glo­ry, with your at­tack and low-end con­tent di­aled back in — magic in front of a Kem­per, Quad Cor­tex, UAD, or He­lix.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eBass play­ers: the orig­i­nal Morn­ing Glo­ry rolls off low end just like a fi­nal mix. That's why you love it — that's why it's be­come a stan­dard on so many pro bassists' boards. The clean blend di­als that low end back on com­mand for your dif­fer­ent bass and ampli­fi­er needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_4\"\u003eCON­TROLS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eVol­ume: adjusts the overall volume in conjunction with the drive and clean\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eClean: full left gives orig­i­nal Morn­ing Glo­ry, full right gives you a pure clean sig­nal\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDrive­­­:  saturation - crank it and use the Clean con­trol as your bal­ance \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eTone: clas­sic Morn­ing Glo­ry tone stack af­fects only the drive path, back for warmth, for­ward for clar­i­ty\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"JHS Pedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451346055271,"sku":"501569","price":179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/jhs-morning-glory-clean_501569_1.jpg?v=1787096884","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/jhs-pedals-morning-glory-clean-overdrive-pedal","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
