Product Overview
The JHS TacoBolt is a limited-edition pedal released in 2024, based on a misbiased version of the JHS SuperBolt. Originally built as a one-off for guitarist Mason Stoops, the pedal’s internal bias trim pots were never properly adjusted—resulting in a sound that’s somewhere between a fuzz and a blown-out Tweed amp. That “broken” tone became beloved, prompting JHS to recreate it using the last remaining SuperBolt components. Only 500 units were made, and they sold out almost instantly.
