JHS just recreated the legendary Lovetone Big Cheese - meet the Cheese Ball

Amongst pedal nerds, the Lovetone Big Cheese is the stuff of legend - the Edge, J Mascis, Kevin Shields… seriously, just take at the list of guitarists who love this thing - but there’s one problem: it’s been darn-near impossible to get hold of. Cue JHS and its newly announced replica, the Cheese Ball.

Plus, with a price tag of $179, it finally offers a way to get hold of accurate Big Cheese tones short of paying the $649 or so that original offerings command these days.

The Cheese Ball is available now - head over to JHS Pedals for more info.
