Boasting a refreshed voice and eye-grabbing aesthetic updates, the JHS Kilt 10 celebrates the best-selling distortion pedal’s first decade of existence with peerless panache. Its retooled clipping circuit delivers more headroom, a smoother attack, and an expanded breadth of Gain settings — everything we’ve pined for since the stompbox’s inaugural release. Moreover, its polished aluminum finish evokes the original V1 model, embellished with Expandora-style knobs and a revised, Scottish-flag-influenced “X” logo. All that said, the Kilt 10 features the same familiar control layout as its predecessor, with straightforward Volume, Gain, and Tone knobs and ultra-flexible Cut/Flat, G1, and G2 toggle switches, allowing for everything from transparent overdrive to muscular distortion to zipper-style fuzz. On top of that, this pedal is equipped with JHS’s proprietary Red Remote circuitry, enabling you to switch the G2 toggle on the fly for instant changes between overdrive and distortion or between distortion and fuzz. As far as dirt boxes go, this pedal is a laird of many crafts; no matter what kind of grind you’re aiming for, the Kilt 10 will serve it up like a steaming-hot plate of haggis.
