Key Features
The JHS Pedals Kilt 10 marks a decade of one of the most versatile dirt circuits ever made, refreshed and re-engineered for modern players. Born from the original collaboration with Stu G of Delirious?, the Kilt 10 keeps the core DNA of clarity, dynamics and huge tonal range, while lifting the ceiling on everything players asked for: more headroom, sweeter top-end definition, improved toggle response and a far more usable low-gain zone. A brand-new clipping section provides smoother attack, enhanced articulation and a more touch-responsive feel, making this the most expressive Kilt yet.
The 2025 limited edition brings back the polished aluminium look of the V1, now combined with classic Expandora-style knobs and a fresh emblem honouring both the Scottish flag and the Roman numeral X. With its refined gain sweep, improved low-cut behaviour, expanded output and signature G1/G2 toggle options, the Kilt 10 covers everything from transparent edge-of-breakup drive to saturated British overdrive and full-on gated fuzz. Complete with Red Remote compatibility for instant gain changes, it balances versatility and raw musicality better than ever, perfect for players who want one drive that truly does it all.

The Kilt 10 represents ten years of refinement, player feedback and circuit evolution. Its updated clipping section unlocks a smoother attack, more organic compression and a wider dynamic range, making every note feel more responsive under the fingers. With greater high-end clarity and increased headroom, the pedal sits beautifully in a mix, making it ideal for guitarists who need detail without losing punch or presence.
One of the biggest improvements is the gain sweep, particularly in the first 25 percent. Where previous versions jumped quickly into gritty drive, the Kilt 10 offers articulate low-gain textures, subtle breakup and expressive amp-pushing tones. Combined with the refined G1/G2 toggles, players get four instantly accessible gain voices ranging from smooth overdrive to aggressive, gated fuzz, perfect for stacking, boosting or shaping an entire set’s worth of sounds.
The Kilt 10’s toggle switches have been re-voiced for wider usefulness across amps, modellers and hybrid rigs. The low-cut toggle now behaves more predictably and works well with a broader range of cabinets and virtual amps, cutting low-end build-up without losing fullness. The G1 and G2 toggles continue to offer the Kilt’s iconic clipped drive and gnarlier fuzz modes, but with more clarity and dynamic consistency, making them easier than ever to dial in on stage.
To celebrate ten years, JHS has restored the polished aluminium aesthetic of the original V1, paired with stylish Expandora-style knobs and an updated Kilt emblem referencing both Scotland and the Roman numeral X. Internally, a new diode selection delivers more saturation and smoother response while maintaining the pedal’s signature character. With Red Remote compatibility for gain switching on the fly, the Kilt 10 combines boutique build quality with modern performance versatility.
