“Am I a number or am I a name?” JHS Pedals has teased a huge new drop with a riddle – and some gear fans think they’ve cracked the code

JHS Pedal blacked out with a question mark over the top.

JHS Pedals has been drip-feeding some cryptic teasers ahead of a major release slated for next Monday (August 11) – and it has sent gear hounds into an absolute frenzy.

At the start of this week, JHS posted the first of four teasers, each of which added an additional line to a head-scratching riddle that now reads in full: “Forward or back, I am still the same. 5 knobs to command 3 layers of gain. Born in Japan. Built for your play. Am I a number, or am I a name?”
