collapse expand iconDescription

The JHS Pulp ‘N’ Peel V4 is the truly transparent compressor pedal you’ve been hoping for and much more. Its smooth-sounding parallel compression circuit offers you the power to blend in your ideal balance of compressed and uncompressed signal. You’re able to add a touch of grit to your tone thanks to the pedal’s Dirt mini toggle. Also, whether you’re a bassist sending your signal direct or a guitarist running the Pulp ‘N’ Peel on your pedalboard, the pedal’s 1/4” and balanced XLR outputs have you covered. This compressor/preamp pedal sports a ton of tone-shaping power. So no matter what your compression needs, the Pulp ‘N’ Peel V4 is your go-to solution.

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 that blooms out of your amplifier.

Onstage, in the studio, or anywhere else
No matter what electric instrument you play, JHS outfitted the Pulp ‘N’ Peel compressor/preamp pedal with enough connectivity options to make it your go-to compressor in the studio, on your pedalboard, at home, or anywhere else.

Warm studio-style grit to help you cut through
Whether you’re looking to warm up your sound in the studio or want to add some grind for the stage, flip the Dirt mini toggle and you’re there. Want to push your amp hard for even more grind? The V4 has been improved with greatly increased headroom and output on the volume control.

    Wonderful pedal. It's a channel strip in a box. EQ, compression, distortion, clean blend, and DI box. Loved it so much on guitar that I bought a second one for bass. #sweepstakes

    I recently purchased the pulp n peel v4 - my first JHS pedal, and 7th pedal overall. I read another review on GC and felt I had to share my initial experience to offer another opinion. I lead worship in a church and I am the only guitarist, playing acoustic exclusively. Oh yeah, and we have no sound guy. I've been looking to get a compressor for 2 years now but found nothing I liked or could "hear" with my acoustic. I have a chorus, 2 reverb's, an octave synth pedal, tuner with built-in buffer (I have a very long run), and a looper pedal with extension controller. Although I had heard this was a very "transparent" compressor, I find that to be an optional characteristic. This is the most versatile, clear sounding tone clarifying pedal I've heard I the market today. One use of this pedal that I was impressed with is boosting... Shifting from rhythm to lead (I.e. playing the melody), this can increase your volume but also change you're EQ on the fly (and add a little overdrive if you want), for an interlude lead line. In addition, I have found in just a few minutes that you can dial in a few settings very easily that allow you to really clarify your tone if you like to shift between finger playing and strumming during a song looks I do. Let's just say this... I received some comments on how much better my guitar sounded I the day I started using this pedal - and the only thing I did differently was to add this pedal... you be the judge! I highly recommend this (from an acoustic player's perspective). FYI, I place this second in the chain after the tuner, so I don't use as a DI box (which it certainly can be also).

    Ugh. On my quest for the ability to compress this was hands down the worst. Thankfully there are 45 day return guarantees. Adding to the fact the only way to tell it was on way by increasing the volume, the compression doesn't do anything until 75% open. The blend knob isn't needed b/c I can never hear any difference in my signal. This pedal was also a good 1/4 inch taller than the rest of my board. Maybe mine was a fluke, but...I've been told otherwise by those who owned the previous version.
