Few things are as enjoyable as rocking out through a dimed guitar amplifier, and thanks to its FET-based circuitry, the JHS PG-14 delivers that exact sensation. Designed to the exact specifications of guitar virtuoso Paul Gilbert (Racer X and Mr. Big), the PG-14 gives you a stadium-level experience ? the touch, feel, and response of a pushed tube amplifier ? at manageable volumes. The PG-14 gives you a bevy of sound-shaping controls, but this distortion stompbox’s crown jewel is its active mid-frequency preamp. With it, you’ll benefit from a vast range of sonic options. If you want to add a scorching, high-octane dirt channel to your rig, the JHS PG-14 is a great way to do it.

A bevy of controls for dialing in your dirt tone





Carving out your ideal dirt tone is easy with the JHS PG-14. Volume and Tone controls enable you to decide how much you want to punish the front end of your amp and then dial in your basic sonic signature. An active mid-frequency preamp in front of the PG-14’s FET distortion circuitry allows you to sculpt your guitar’s voice with exacting precision. Finally, Drive and Push controls adjust your gain level while replicating the performance of a pushed-to-the-brink tube amp. Paul Gilbert is a longtime friend of ours here at Sweetwater, and we’re stoked to be able to offer his signature distortion pedal ? it’s one of our favorite dirt boxes. Plug in, and you’ll understand why!
