Jhs Pedals 3 Series Chorus

A 3 SERIES Designed to Get Straight to the Point, Without Losing JHS DNA

With the 3 SERIES, JHS offers deliberately streamlined pedals: the goal is to deliver immediately musical sounds, with quick handling and a "plug and play" approach. The 3 SERIES CHORUS fits perfectly into this philosophy by covering the main modulation families (chorus and vibrato) through a minimal interface, while maintaining the brand's quality standards. The result: an intuitive pedal, tailored for musicians who want a reliable chorus for daily use without complex settings.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

The JHS 3 SERIES CHORUS is suitable both for beginner guitarists looking for a first chorus that's easy to dial in, and for experienced musicians seeking an effective modulation to complement a pedalboard. On clean tones, it adds width and a very useful "doubling" effect in pop, funk, indie, worship, and rock. On crunch and distorted sounds, it can thicken a riff, round out a rhythm part, or create more unstable atmospheres for alternative rock and certain psychedelic aesthetics.

In a studio context, it helps place a guitar in the mix with controlled modulation, without overloading the arrangement. In live settings, its simple controls are a real advantage: you quickly find your settings, and the Vibe switch allows switching from a "wide" chorus to a more expressive vibrato, ideal for intros, bridges, or melodic lines.

Controls, Settings, and a "No-Nonsense" Approach

The pedal is based on a very straightforward logic: Rate controls the modulation speed, while Depth adjusts the intensity of the effect. Used together, these two knobs cover settings ranging from a subtle thickening chorus (moderate Rate, light Depth) to wider, undulating movements (faster Rate and/or higher Depth), capable of producing a strongly marked modulation sensation, like "seasickness."

The Vibe selector changes the character of the sound: by removing the guitar's original tone, it emphasizes the modulation alone to achieve a purer vibrato, more "pitch"-focused and particularly expressive. This is a valuable option if you're looking for a modulation less like a "wide chorus" and more centered on the pitch's mobile character, perfect for vintage textures, soaring leads, or intentionally unstable passages.

Regarding power supply, the JHS 3 SERIES CHORUS operates on 9V DC center negative (power supply not included). This compatibility facilitates integration with most pedalboard power supplies and helps maintain clean wiring on stage.

Sound Character

The JHS 3 SERIES CHORUS aims for a classic character: a chorus capable of thickening your playing without altering it, while offering enough depth for more immersive atmospheres. At low depth, you get a light modulation, ideal for adding dimension to arpeggios, open chords, or funk "chicken picking." Increasing depth and speed makes the effect more pronounced, with a more audible movement that can transform a simple part into a living texture.

The Vibe mode adds another color: more direct, more "trembling" in perception, with expressiveness very sensitive to phrasing. This is typically the kind of setting that highlights sustained notes, melodies, and passages where you want the sound to breathe. In all cases, the simplicity of the controls encourages ear-based adjustments in seconds: a concrete advantage when switching between multiple guitars, amps, or gain levels.
