I really liked the Morning Glory, especially into my Blues Junior III, but I sold it when I switched over to a Bassman.

A good friend recently bought the Morning Glory and I've played it several times. I really love it! Great low/medium gain overdrive. More on the transparent side than I expected it to be. Played it through a heritage hw ac15. Definitely a pedal I will consider buying!

Oh and he LOVES out too

Yea, it was very open and as transparent as you can expect, though I liked the high end the toggle added - the treble distorts first I found so it is bright and crisp, but not harsh or brittle.

I think their video clips are accurate sounding too BTW.

I've got a Double Barrel V3 and a Sweet Tea. Both are killer pedals!

The Morning Glory circuit is my favorite of JHS offerings.

Had a Charlie Brown and it was very cool; I just had other pedals that did the same thing.
Had the double trem and it sounded great but could not get very fast.

I've owned the All-American...very cool take on the Rat circuit. Personally, I think their best offerings are the Sweet Tea and the Double Barrel. I've played both...dig both. Kinda' pricey though...

Still really love my Charlie Brown. Tried a lot of medium gain drives in between my Lunar Module and Timmy, and the JHS fits the best.

I'm a fan of JHS Pedals. I have a morning glory. I love it for bluesy stuff. Stacked into my fulldrive gives me a great lead tone.

The JHS Compressor is so invisible until you turn it off you forgot you were using it. Then you hit it again and ahhhhhhh.

No squish and squeeze tone at all. Blend compressed and uncompressed, adjust the volume of each. Nice.

Charlie Brown and Angry Charlie, played both. Really nice. Morning Glory though is a real gem of an OD.

I'm using a Morning Glory as my go-to drive sound. It has this fantastic high-end breakup thing going on. The drive knob almost acts more like a compression threshold than a saturation type control. Very clear and clean note definition with a light pick attack, but dig in and pass the "threshold" and BAM, that sweet distortion kicks in. Love it!

The Charlie Brown into my Maz 18, set mostly as an overdrive/boost with the drive low (~9 o'clock) and the volume high (~2-3 o'clock) sounds fantastic, and it's my primary drive tone. I stack it with the Timmy to get higher gain tones. Definitely not going anywhere any time soon.
