The JHS Bonsai is a comprehensive homage to the Tube Screamer legacy, housing nine distinct analog recreations of classic and rare TS-style circuits. Each mode is built with discrete components to match the original schematics, preserving the unique tonal nuances and clipping characteristics of each version.
The rotary selector offers access to:
- OD-1 (Boss, 1977): Asymmetrical clipping with no tone control
- TS-808 (Ibanez, 1979): Smooth, mid-focused drive with soft clipping
- TS-9 (Ibanez, 1982): Brighter and more aggressive than the 808
- MSL Metal Screamer (Ibanez, 1985): Higher gain with scooped mids
- TS-10 (Ibanez, 1986): Slightly more open and dynamic than TS9
- Exar OD-1 (Poland, 1980s): Unique clipping with pronounced mids
- TS-7 Hot Mode (Ibanez, 1999): More gain and compression
- Keeley Mod Plus (Modern): Enhanced clarity and bass response
- JHS Strong Mod (Modern): Tighter low end and increased headroom
With familiar Volume, Drive, and Tone controls, the Bonsai makes it easy to explore decades of TS evolution in one compact, road-ready enclosure. Whether you're chasing vintage blues tones, modern lead sounds, or studio-friendly versatility, the Bonsai delivers with analog precision and tonal depth.
