JHS Kilt 10 Limited

Overview

The JHS Kilt 10 Limited marks the 10-year evolution of one of JHS’s most versatile and expressive drive circuits. Built from the DNA of the original Kilt but redesigned for greater clarity, headroom, and control, the Kilt 10 offers everything from subtle breakup and tone shaping to explosive, gated fuzz. Its updated clipping section, enhanced gain sweep, and improved top-end response make it more dynamic and more musical across a wider range of rigs than any prior version.

Featuring a polished aluminum finish with Expandora-style knobs and a refreshed emblem, this anniversary edition blends analog artistry with performance-ready functionality. Whether using it as an articulate low-gain overdrive, a powerful amp-pusher, or a full-bore distortion/fuzz machine, the Kilt 10 responds with exceptional touch sensitivity and sonic flexibility. Red Remote compatibility allows on-the-fly gain switching, making it a potent tool on stage or in the studio.
