Shotgun 1v1 - Building Docs
Project overview:
Inspired by JHS Double Barrel, two overdrive circuits from JHS’ range integrated into one board. Is time to
double the fun! Tone stacking for low-to-medium gain settings doesn't get any better.
Introduction
Shotgun features the latest versions of two of JHS's most popular drive circuits: the Morning Glory V4 and
Moonshine V2.
On one side, the best seller Morning Glory V4, delivering a transparent tone. This segment adds a layer of
light crunch that gives more life to chords and sustains to lead lines. On the other side, the updated
Moonshine V2 overdrive, ready to offer that classic TS-tone with a lot of grit and saturation. This section
has an added knob that lets you blend your unaffected signal with the dirt from the pedal al lets you achieve
some fantastic Southern blues tones.
Each part of this board is excellent on its own, but the real magic starts to happen when you combine them.
Tones that are unique and new will come with ease: Looking for a more colorful crunch tone? Run the
Moonshine into the Morning Glory for added gain. Want a gritty solo boost? Toggle the Morning Glory into
the Moonshine, then dial in to taste. Since both pedals are grouped inside the same board, there are no
cables to swap and no footwork to master, and you will have extra flexibility thanks to the "order switching"
toggle.
Try this versatile but transparent overdrive that works flawlessly at medium and light gain levels. And if you
are having problems getting the exact tones you want, with the Shotgun you'll find out how easy it is to hit
the target!

This board has been tested using Film box capacitors for most of the values over 1nf and ceramics discs
for those under 1nf. However, high-quality components such as Wima's Capacitors and Panasonic's
electrolytics can deliver a better performance.
All the resistors used for testing this project are 1/4W Metal Film.
The BOM and Shopping list are exclusive regarding this project. It doesn't include all the hardware like the
3PDT bypass switch, audio/dc jacks, enclosure, etc.
Build Notes
If this is one of your first projects, I recommend you to take a look at our Pedal Building Guide.
For a successful and tidy build, it’s recommended the following order:
Drill Template
This Project has been planned to fit into a 1590bb enclosure type.
Check the Attached “Drilling templates” to drill the box properly. The files are on Scale 1:1, ready to print
on an A4 page.
We try to reply to every question we receive on our email or our social media. Still, we try to encourage all
our customers to join our PCB Guitar Mania – Builders Group on Facebook to post all your doubts, issues,
suggestions, or requests, share your builds, and have some feedback from other fellow builders and us!
We tested all our projects following this same guide on their standard configurations. Although, not all of
the variations and mods have necessarily been checked. These are suggestions based on the schematic
analysis and the experiences and opinions of others. Feel free to share with us your views and
recommendations regarding the mods your personal experimentation.
These boards may be used for commercial endeavors in any quantity unless expressly noted. No attribution
is necessary, though accreditation or a link back is always much appreciated.
If you are a builder planning to make your own run of pedals, we also offer the service of custom-made
boards with your brand and logo, design according to your specifications.
The only usage restrictions are that, first, you cannot resell the PCB as part of a kit without prior
arrangement with us, and second, you cannot scratch off the silkscreen or other way of trying to hide our
logos and the source of the PCBs. Like it's written above, if you want to have your designs with your brand
and logo, we could undoubtedly reach an agreement.
