New JHS Kilt 10 Limited Edition Distortion Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal

New JHS Kilt 10 Limited Edition Distortion / Overdrive Pedal — new, in box.

THE KILT 10 - CELEBRATING A DECADE
After ten years, the Kilt gets a refreshed voice and reimagined aesthetic. An updated clipping section delivers more headroom, smoother attack, and a richer, more dynamically useful drive range than ever before.

WHERE IT BEGAN
In 2015 we launched the ultimate dirt pedal with Stu G (legendary guitarist, writer, producer, and founding member of UK band Delirious?), and we never looked back. He wanted a pedal that could cover any ground he needed for his studio work and extensive touring gigs across the globe. From that request, the Kilt was born, and ever since, it has been one of our best-selling overdrive/distortion pedals year after year.

THE EVOLUTION OF OVERDRIVE
The original Kilt carved out its own space by focusing on clarity, versatility and musical responsiveness. But over the years, we kept hearing the same requests: more headroom for cleaner tones, more audible effect from the flat/cut toggle, and more control over the low-gain textures. The Kilt 10 addresses every one of these requests while maintaining the DNA that made you fall in love with the Kilt in the first place.

WHAT'S NEW FOR 2025
An Updated Look - The finish returns to polished aluminum as a tribute to the original Kilt V1, now paired with classic Expandora-style knobs, and a refreshed Kilt icon that nods to both the Scottish flag and the Roman numeral "X" to represent ten years.
Improved Gain Control: The gain knob now offers a far more usable range from 0-25%, unlocking articulate, low-gain textures that weren't previously accessible.
Enhanced High-End Clarity: The top end has been refined to help the pedal cut through a mix with greater definition.
Increased Volume Headroom: More output on tap translates into a more responsive tone across your entire rig.
Refined Toggle Switches: The gain toggles have been tweaked for more usable gain parameters. The Low-Cut toggle is now far more amp-friendly.
Diode Choice Enhancement: A new clipping circuit adds more touch-sensitive feel and nuance. Think Kilt V2 but bigger.

HOW TO USE IT
The Kilt 10 functions exactly like the Kilt V2. With G1 down and G2 up, it acts like a higher gain stage boost - perfect for pushing your amp's front end or stacking with fuzz. Flip both toggles up and you get that massive wall of saturated British overdrive that made the original famous. The Kilt comes equipped with proprietary JHS Red Remote circuitry that allows you to switch the gain toggle on-the-fly.

CONTROLS
VOLUME - Controls the output volume. Left is less, right is more.
GAIN - Controls the amount of drive or distortion. Left is less, right is more.
TONE - Controls brightness. Left is darker, right is brighter.
G1 / G2 TOGGLES - Work together to give up to 4 clipping options. Both down is lowest gain. G1 up gives more overdrive. G2 up gives more fuzz. Both up gives the heaviest gated fuzz. The G2 toggle can also be engaged by a Red Remote.
LOW-CUT TOGGLE - Down is flat EQ; up is "cut" mode with less bass.

JACKS
INPUT - Lower jack on the right side.
OUTPUT - Jack on the left side.
RED REMOTE - Upper jack on the right side with a red washer.
