The JHS Colour Box V2 is a preamp and EQ pedal built around the classic Neve 1073 console circuit, with a stepped gain control that goes from clean boost to gritty overdrive. It has three bands of EQ with a sweepable mid, plus high-pass and low-pass filters, so it can shape tone as much as add it. It suits guitarists and bassists who want console-style color on their board, and it also works as a studio front end for mics and line sources. Against simpler boosts and EQ pedals it offers far more control, but it is larger and more complex than most stompboxes.

Reviewers treat the Colour Box V2 as a serious tone tool, praising its Neve-flavored EQ and the flexibility of the stepped gain. Most criticism centers on its size, its learning curve, and how quickly it dirties up.
