The Review
The guitar, a dynamic instrument, thrives with gear that enhances its expressive power. In this issue, we explore the Andy Timmons AT+ overdrive/distortion pedal, a masterpiece crafted by JHS Pedals. Featuring three wattage modes - 25, 50, and 100 watts - it offers versatile overdrive options, from smooth blues to sharp distortion.
A volume knob controls output level, while an EQ knob shapes tone with precision, making this pedal a tone sculptor's dream. Paired with an SSH pickup setup, it delivers a vibrant sound that cuts through any mix, making it an indispensable ally for every guitarist. The pedal elevates tone saturation by driving the amp's front end, and the "AIR" knob offers customizable presence and added clarity and character.
The AT+ captures classic rock and fierce metal tones, unlocking limitless sonic possibilities. Crafted by JHS Pedals, it features user-friendly controls that enhance performance, capturing every nuance from pick attack to harmonics. A dedicated Boost knob adds extra gain when you need it.
Running on under 100mA with a 9V adapter or batteries, it can also handle 18V. Housed in a durable metal case, it's perfect for touring, with three wattage options that make it an excellent low-volume practice companion.
