Pre-Owned JHS Emperor V2
The Emperor V2: Classic Modulation with Modern Control
Vintage Bucket Brigade Chorus and Vibrato
The JHS Emperor V2 is a refined reissue of their original analog modulation marvel, built around the lush textures of a vintage-correct Bucket Brigade 3207 chipset. Whether you’re chasing the elusive shimmer of the Arion SCH-1 or seeking a fully controllable stereo chorus/vibrato rig, this pedal balances classic warmth with versatile functionality. From sweet, subtle modulation to full-on rotary speaker simulation, the Emperor delivers.
Deep Modulation Features and Stereo Capability
This is more than just chorus and vibrato, this is a comprehensive modulation workstation. You can toggle between three waveform types: sine, square, and triangle, and shape your tone with intuitive controls for Volume, EQ, Speed, and Depth. The side-mounted toggle gives you the power to switch between chorus and vibrato instantly, while the onboard tap tempo footswitch or optional expression input expands timing control far beyond typical stompbox parameters.
Active Tilt EQ and True Tone Sculpting
One of the standout upgrades in the V2 is the newly designed active Tilt EQ. Unlike traditional passive tone circuits, this one lets you balance highs and lows with greater precision. Center detent gives you a flat response, with high or low boosts easily dialed in for cutting through a mix or warming up single-coils. This new system maintains your low-end integrity, avoiding the thinning effect common with many chorus or vibrato units.
External Control and Connectivity Options
The Emperor V2 doesn’t stop at sound quality. A side jack allows for external expression pedal control or tap tempo sync, selectable by a side switch. Want to sync your modulation tempo with another pedal like the Panther Cub Delay or Unicorn? No problem. This unit also boasts true stereo output via TRS, just plug in a Y-cable and spread your modulation across two amps for an immersive sound experience.
Built for the Demanding Player
Whether you’re running it in mono or stereo, with buffered or true bypass (selectable internally), the Emperor V2 is designed to slot seamlessly into complex rigs and demanding stage environments. With 57mA power draw, it runs on standard 9V DC center-negative power supplies (not included) and is housed in a compact yet roadworthy enclosure. This pedal has had velcro attached to the bottom, all cosmetic damage is visible in the photos.
