The JHS Pedals 3 Series is a collection of pedals designed to give you affordability and simplicity without compromising quality. Each 3 Series pedal is made by us in Kansas City, MO, using high-quality parts, careful quality control, and attention to every detail. Each pedal has three simple controls and one toggle that offer a wide range of sounds, perfect for beginners and professionals alike. The JHS Pedals 3 Series will inspire your playing and help you explore new sounds at a totally approachable price point.
The 3 Series Ring Modulator covers it all, from subtle, invisible modulation to full metallic chaos, with two distinct modes. The Blend knob mixes the ring modulation against your dry signal. The Frequency knob controls the speed of the ring modulator's oscillator, moving from slow, pulsing movement at lower settings to bell-like, metallic tones at higher ones. The Mode toggle selects between two algorithms. Down is Earworm mode, inspired by the now discontinued Way Huge Ringworm. The Tweak knob introduces an auxiliary LFO that adds wobble and movement to the modulation, turning a fixed ring mod into something alive and animated. Up is Green Lantern mode, inspired by the Green Ringer circuit, a wave rectifier that produces a natural-sounding octave effect alongside the ring modulation. In this mode, Tweak blends the octave effect from off to 100%. Used subtly under a solo, it adds a barely-there harmonic presence. Pushed hard with gain in front of it, it becomes something considerably wilder. Ring modulation has been around since the 1970s, and this pedal is our take on giving you everything the effect has to offer in one of the simplest possible packages.
The JHS Pedals 3 Series Ring Modulator runs on 9VDC center negative power and consumes 65mA.
