JHS Pedals Haunting Mids Preamp/EQ

With intuitive controls for volume, mid boost/cut, frequency sweep, and a Lo/Hi toggle for shaping the boost/focus bandwidth, it delivers a chillingly effective tone that slices through muddy guitars or adds presence to overly scooped distortion. It’s not an overdrive—but paired with one, it brings spectral clarity and midrange focus unparalleled.
