The JHS 424 Gain Stage is a uniquely flexible preamp and drive pedal designed to take your tone from subtle grit to blown-out saturation. With its dual-gain architecture, tone shaping controls, and both 1/4" and balanced XLR outputs, the 424 gives players a powerful tool for everything from clean boost to overdriven textures. Whether you're building a pedalboard or recording direct, the 424 delivers inspiring tones across genres—all within a compact format that fits any guitar effects setup.
At Roxy Music, we appreciate pedals that unlock new tones and creative directions. The 424 Gain Stage sits in a unique space—part preamp, part drive, part character box—making it incredibly fun for stacking, shaping, and refining your sound. It pairs beautifully with other JHS pedals, excels in hybrid pedalboard/recording rigs, and brings a distinct personality that guitarists, producers, and worship players love.
