DESCRIPTION

THE KILT 10 marks the ten-year evolution of one of the most beloved drive pedals in the boutique pedal world. Originally created in collaboration with Stu G (of Delirious?), the Kilt was built to deliver everything a touring guitarist could need—from subtle edge-of-breakup warmth to face-melting gated fuzz. With the Kilt 10, JHS has redefined the legacy, dialing in a decade of feedback and tone tweaks into its most expressive and versatile form yet.

What’s New? The gain section has been overhauled to unlock previously untapped transparency and low-gain response, making the Kilt 10 as at home in a clean tone stack as it is in a saturated amp rig. A newly designed clipping section offers smoother attack, improved touch-sensitivity, and more dynamic drive. The result? A pedal that responds like an extension of your playing, not just a tone box.

Aesthetically, the Kilt 10 pays tribute to the original V1 with a polished aluminum finish, now complemented by Expandora-style knobs and a refreshed “Kilt X” emblem that nods to both the Scottish flag and ten years of sonic domination.

The improved Low-Cut toggle delivers amp-friendlier tone shaping—cutting through even the densest mixes, whether on stage or in the studio. And thanks to increased headroom and improved volume response, the Kilt 10 performs better than ever in complex pedal chains or modeler-based setups.

Controls are intuitive but deeply tweakable, with G1 and G2 toggles offering four distinct clipping styles—from open low-gain to full-on gated fuzz. The Red Remote compatibility allows for instant gain switching mid-song, giving you dynamic control without the need for multiple pedals.

Whether you're chasing British-voiced overdrive, amp-pushing clean boost, or snarling fuzz textures, the Kilt 10 is the definitive version of a modern classic. Built to evolve with your tone—no matter where the next decade takes you.
