JHS Pedals Colour Box V2 10-Year Anniversary Colorway Preamp Pedal Blue New
FACTORY NEW NOT!!! OPEN BOX!!!

JHS Colour Box V2 preamp pedal is a powerful tool designed to bring the classic sounds of "direct-in" electric guitar recordings to your pedalboard. Inspired by legendary recordings from bands like The Beatles and Steely Dan, the Colour Box V2 acts as a complete studio-grade preamp, EQ and distortion generator, giving players access to a wide range of tones. With the addition of a Hi/Lo switch for clean headroom, expanded EQ controls and the ability to pass 48V phantom power, this pedal goes beyond guitars, working with microphones, bass, synths and more. Its versatility and pristine tone have made it a favorite of artists and engineers alike, featured on recordings by U2, Wilco, The National and more.

Complete Control With Hi/Lo Gain and Output Transformer.
At the heart of the Colour Box V2 is its gain section, which allows you to shape your tone with incredible precision. The Master, Pre-Vol and Step controls work together to offer everything from clean preamp tones to overdriven distortion. The Hi/Lo switch gives you control over headroom, with Lo mode offering ultraclean sounds, while Hi mode provides more saturation and grit. An added output transformer and –20dB pad (for XLR inputs) ensure that the pedal handles anything from high-output microphones to direct instrument inputs with ease.

Studio-Grade EQ With Precision Shift Controls
The Colour Box V2's EQ section offers three-band tone shaping with Treble, Middle and Bass controls. The three new Shift knobs allow for precision control of the frequency ranges affected by each band. Whether you're boosting high-mids for cutting lead tones or shaping the low end for thick rhythm sounds, the EQ controls give you studio-level flexibility. The pedal also includes a Hi-Pass filter, enabling you to cut low-end frequencies from 60Hz to 800Hz with ease, perfect for cleaning up your sound in live or recording environments.

Multi-Instrument Compatibility for Endless Possibilities
One of the standout features of the Colour Box V2 is its ability to work with multiple instruments and microphones. Its combination XLR and 1/4" input, along with the INST/XLR switch, allows you to seamlessly switch between using the pedal with a guitar, synth, bass or even a vocal microphone. Whether you're re-amping a bass line, adding grit to your vocals or giving your guitar a vintage Neve console sound, the Colour Box V2 delivers studio-grade performance in any setting.

VERSION 2 EMERGES
The Colour Box V2 has all the same functionality of the V1 with many new and improved additions like expanded EQ controls, a Hi/Lo switch for massive clean headroom, and the ability to pass phantom power to your condenser mics. 

The most significant improvements are:

Addition of an Output transformer

Safely Passes 48V Phantom Power

EQ Shift Knobs for precision EQ control

Hi/Lo Switch for ultra clean headroom

100% available clean signal even on acoustic guitar

Silent switching, aka no "switch-pop"

Runs on standard 9V DC Neg power

FEATURES & CONTROLS
The Gain section in red has three controls: Master, Pre-Vol, and Step. The Master volume controls the overall volume of the unit. The Pre-Vol controls the amount of gain between the two internal gain stages. This acts as a "drive" or "gain" control, adding more grit, distortion, and even fuzz as you increase the gain.

The Step control increases the gain of each preamp stage in five stages. Rotating the Step knob from left-to-right will increase the gain by the following: 1st is +18 dB, 2nd is +23 dB, 3rd is +28 dB, 4th is +33 dB, 5th is +39 dB.

The Colour Box V2 has a new Hi / Lo switch to control the amount of clean headroom you have available. In the Lo mode, you will easily be able to get ultra clean sounds without breakup. Lo Mode is excellent for tone shaping when distortion is not needed. In the Hi mode, the Colour Box V2 will distort much more readily, giving you a broad spectrum of overdrive, distortion, and fuzz sounds.

In addition to the Hi / Lo gain switch, there is a -20dB pad switch on the right side of the Colour Box V2. This function only works when in XLR input mode and can help tame the volume for high output microphones.

MOST POWERFUL EQ YET
The EQ section in blue has three new Shift controls correlating to its standard Treble, Middle and Bass controls. The classically labeled EQ knobs adjust the amount of frequencies that get boosted and cut, while the Shift knobs adjust the range of frequencies that the Treble, Middle, and Bass knobs control.

EQ Functions

Treble Knob - Cut/Boost Control     +/-15dB  flat at noon.  CCW cuts, CW boosts.

Middle Knob - Cut/Boost Control    +/- 10dB  flat at noon.  CCW cuts, CW boosts.

Bass Knob -   Cut/Boost Control   +/-15dB  flat at noon.  CCW cuts, CW boosts.

Frequencies controlled by EQ Shift Knobs:

Treble Shift - 2kHz to 30kHz –  CCW lowers the center Freq, CW raises the center Freq.

Middle Shift - 150Hz to 2.4kHz –  CCW lowers the center Freq, CW raises the center Freq.

Bass Shift - 20Hz to 440Hz –  CCW lowers the center Freq, CW raises the center Freq.

The Hi-Pass section is enabled by the toggle switch below the Hi-Pass knob. Just flip it up to engage the Hi-Pass knob. The HPF is a 2nd order 12dB per octave high pass filter. The -3dB cutoff freq (the frequency at which the filter starts to act) can be adjusted from 160Hz to 650Hz.

XLR AND OUTPUT
The Colour Box V2 has a combination XLR and 1/4" input jack to use either an instrument or microphone. Select your input with the input selector switch on the right side of the pedal labeled INST/XLR.
