After a decade of faithful service on stages and in studios across the globe, the Kilt is taking a well-deserved victory lap. But this isn't just a reissue; it's a perfection of the circuit you already know.
Born from a collaboration with the legendary Stu G of Delirious?, the Kilt 10 takes the original's versatile soul and injects it with ten years of player feedback. The result is a pedal with more headroom, a smoother attack, and a richer, more responsive drive that feels alive under your fingers. It's still the ultimate all-in-one dirt box — now with even sharper performance.
Four Flavors of Filth at Your Feet
The heart of the Kilt 10 is its gloriously simple yet devastatingly effective G1 and G2 toggle system. Think of these switches as your personal gain-stage selectors, ready to serve up four distinct courses of dirt. It’s like having two pedals in one, then doubling it.
Versatile Toggle System: With both toggles down, you get a low-gain setting perfect for a subtle push. Flip G1 up for a fat, chewy overdrive, or flip G2 up for a snarling fuzz.
Sonic Armageddon: Want to unleash total chaos? Flip both toggles up to send your signal into a glorious, gated, spitting fuzz meltdown.
Red Remote Compatibility: Because we know you need power on demand, the G2 toggle can be activated instantly with the JHS Red Remote, giving you a massive gain boost on the fly.
Precision Control for the Picky Player
Let’s face it: how many drive pedals have a gain knob where the first quarter of the range is practically unusable? We’ve solved that. The Kilt 10’s redesigned gain control turns the 0-25% range into a truly usable and musical space.
Usable Gain Range: You can now dial in beautifully transparent, articulate overdrive textures that were simply impossible before, unlocking a new world of low-gain utility.
Dynamic Sensitivity: This isn't just a wider range; it's a touch-sensitive experience that responds to your playing dynamics, taking you from the quietest whisper of breakup to the loudest roar.
Mix-Cutting Precision: The powerful Low-Cut switch helps you carve out space in a dense band mix, ensuring your riffs slice through with surgical precision.
A Decade of Refinement, Distilled
The Kilt 10 is more than just an update; it's the definitive edition. We listened, tweaked, and obsessed over every detail to create the most complete version of this iconic circuit.
V1 Aesthetics: The polished aluminum finish and Expandora-style knobs are a stylish nod to the original V1, bringing vintage vibes to your modern board.
Anniversary Details: A refreshed icon cleverly salutes its Scottish inspiration and ten-year anniversary, marking a decade of dirt distilled into a single enclosure.
Road-Ready Build: Housed in a compact enclosure with standard 9V DC power, this pedal is built to survive the rigors of the road while saving precious pedalboard real estate.

The JHS Kilt 10 represents a decade of refinement, distilled into a single, stomp-ready enclosure. It's the sound you fell in love with, but better. Much better.
