The American pedal brand JHS (jhspedals.info) which bears the initials of its founder Joshua Heath Scott has just released a distortion in collaboration with the one and only Paul Gilbert. With a clever equalization with a semi-parametric midrange adjustment, a very large range of sounds can be reached. The dynamic response is also pretty awesome.

JHS PG-14 pedal - Jam Santana

This is an improvised collection of Santana riffs, nothing really structured but which gives a good representation of the sounds you can get with this awesome distortion pedal.
