JHS Pedals PHERB – Phaser & Reverb Effects Pedal with BREAK Mode

The What-Should-Have-Been of Pedal History!

Meet the JHS Pedals PHERB, a unique combination of dark, lo-fi reverb and vintage-style four-stage phaser, designed to create atmospheric textures, swirling movement, and beautifully chaotic sounds.

Built from the ground up by JHS Pedals, PHERB combines reverb and phasing into one creative effects pedal. Both effects run together, delivering a distinctive sound that ranges from subtle ambient movement to pulsing, otherworldly soundscapes.

The reverb is intentionally dark, moody, chorused, and chunky, with a slightly pulsing character at longer decay settings. The four-stage phaser delivers classic vintage-style movement inspired by the Phase 90, with a frequency sweep designed to complement the reverb without overwhelming the low end.

BREAK Mode – Beautiful Destruction

Engage the BREAK toggle to unleash an entirely different sonic experience. BREAK mode processes your incoming guitar signal through an asymmetric bitcrusher with analog-style clipping before feeding it into the reverb and phaser.

The result is an aggressive, distorted, gritty effect with plenty of character, perfect for experimental riffs, industrial textures, noise, and unconventional sound design.
