## Overview

The Marshall JH-1 Jackhammer Metal X-L Pedal is a robust guitar effects pedal designed for musicians seeking versatile overdrive and distortion options. With its solid metal casing, comprehensive control features, and passive bypass functionality, it delivers exceptional sound quality and reliability for both studio and live performances.

## Description

For more than 50 years, the Marshall name has been synonymous with genre defining distortion tones. Initially, the way to get classic Marshall distortion was to naturally overdrive one of our valve amps by cranking it up to full volume. As time went by, Marshall Master Volume heads allowed for even more extreme levels of distortion, as the preamp valves were driven harder. The first generation of Marshall pedals simulated the various types of valve distortions in convenient, cost-effective stomp boxes. The Jackhammer is the next evolutionary step in Marshall distortion pedals. The JH-1 contains our most outrageous distortion levels to date. The Contour control allows you to not only scoop out the mids, but also choose the frequencies at which the scoop occurs, allowing you to tailor your sound to your individual requirements. Although the Jackhammer has more aggression and gain than any other Marshall pedal, we never forget our heritage, with the JH-1 producing natural and realistic tones. DIMENSIONS in mm (W x H x D): 120 x 65 x 55. WEIGHT: 510g.

I really enjoy this pedal, I was looking for a nice distorted tone and I ended up finding a lovely lovely overdrive tone that I obviously love lol. I got the pedal a few days before I was supposed to and it was used but great condition. 5 stars for sure!

    Not really what it's promoted as, but that's not why I bought it
  

*by E***K on Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2008*

Marshall's advertising for this pedal promotes it as a metal pedal, but that's really not where it's strength lies. It is capable of that scooped-mid Metallica style crunch, but it is so much more versatile than that. There are two modes: overdrive and distortion. The overdrive mode is where this pedal really shines. Without using the contour knob, the gain knob provides for an excellent early Eric Clapton "Bluesbreaker" style tone on low settings to a Appetite for Destruction style tone on the high gain settings. With the gain turned all the way up and with some tweaking of the contour and frequency knobs you can get that scooped mid metal tone, which I personally have little  need for and which, honestly, I think is better done by many other OD pedals.I am more of a country/blues/rockabilly/classic rock style player, and the overdrive on this thing suits most of my needs perfectly.The distortion mode is a major letdown though. It is voiced with entirely too much low end, and you'll have to do some major fiddling with the eq knobs to even get a sound that is halfway passable. Not really worth the effort. Without this issue this pedal would be a 5 star piece of equipment. But as I said before the overdrive mode is phenomenal for a pedal in this price range and definitely deserves the Marshall name.
