JHS Morning Glory Clean Overdrive Pedal

What began as one of the most beloved transparent overdrives ever made has evolved into JHS’s most sophisticated take on the concept yet. The JHS Pedals Morning Glory Clean overdrive pedal combines the iconic Bluesbreaker-inspired Morning Glory circuit with a fully integrated studio-grade parallel clean blend, delivering enhanced pick attack, restored low-end authority and exceptional dynamic response without sacrificing the harmonic richness and musical compression that made the original a modern classic. Rather than simply adding a clean blend to an existing circuit, JHS rebuilt the Morning Glory from the ground up around a parallel clean architecture that allows pure guitar signal and overdriven tone to track together seamlessly. With a high-headroom ±9V dual-supply architecture, independent Drive, Volume and Tone controls, silent buffered bypass switching, top-mounted jacks and the ability to function as both a touch-sensitive overdrive and a powerful clean boost, the Morning Glory Clean is designed to become the foundation of virtually any pedalboard.

A New Standard for Transparent Overdrive

Every overdrive circuit changes the original guitar signal, even those marketed as transparent. The Morning Glory Clean addresses that reality by incorporating a studio-grade parallel clean circuit directly into the design. Rather than simply blending clean signal back into the output, the pedal uses a carefully engineered dual-gang control that allows the clean and overdriven signals to track together seamlessly across the entire gain range. This preserves low-end authority, pick attack and dynamic response while retaining the jangly harmonics and soft compression that define the Morning Glory sound. The result is an overdrive that feels more open, responsive and connected to the player’s touch.

Dual-Supply Headroom and Independent Tone Control

The Morning Glory Clean utilizes a ±9V dual-supply architecture that delivers significantly greater headroom than traditional Bluesbreaker-style overdrives. This expanded operating range creates the feel of a powerful tube amplifier working at the edge of breakup, with enhanced clarity and punch even at higher settings. The Drive control determines the amount of saturation, while the Clean control allows players to blend in as much of their original signal as desired. A dedicated Tone control shapes only the overdriven signal path, leaving the clean signal untouched and preserving the natural character of the instrument.

An Overdrive Pedal Designed to Glorify Any Rig

Whether used as an always-on tone enhancer, a dynamic low-gain overdrive or a clean boost, the Morning Glory Clean adapts easily to a wide range of setups. It excels when stacked with additional drive pedals, helping sustain and harmonic content expand naturally rather than becoming compressed or congested. It also pairs exceptionally well with modern amp modelers such as Kemper, Quad Cortex, UAD and Helix, restoring the feel and presence often associated with a great tube amplifier. Bass players will appreciate the ability to blend low-end content back into the signal, creating a more full-range overdrive experience. With top-mounted jacks, silent buffered bypass switching and an intuitive control set, the JHS Pedals Morning Glory Clean pedal delivers a new benchmark in touch-sensitive, transparent overdrive.
