This compressor/preamp pedal sports a ton of tone-shaping power, so no matter what your compression needs are, the Pulp ‘N’ Peel V4 is your go-to solution.

The Exact Compression You've Been Waiting For

JHS know how much effort you put into getting your tone exactly right. That’s why they worked so hard to ensure the Pulp ‘N’ Peel V4 maintains your instrument’s natural attack, has a very low noise floor, and adds a professional polish to every chord, lead line, and note from your amplifier.
