The Calhoun V2 is JHS' collaboration with legendary guitarist and producer Mike Campbell and his first ever signature pedal. Mike is an original member of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and has worked with such artists as Don Henley, Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks, and George Harrison to name a few. Containing a vintage overdrive and fuzz circuit, the Calhoun V2 is Mike's go-to pedal for rhythm and lead tones live and in-studio. Let's look at the Calhoun and see what makes it bark and bite!

The right side of the Calhoun is the fuzz side with controls for Volume, Fuzz, Bias, and EQ, engaged by the right footswitch. This fuzz is based around the vintage Tone-Bender fuzzes that were made famous in the 60s and 70s, giving you everything you need to get that "Satisfaction" tone. The Volume has plenty of headroom to push your amp and works with the Fuzz knob to give you lower gain fuzz tones or high gain fuzz tones. The Bias control adjusts the amount of power going to the transistors to enable you to fine-tune the character of the fuzz from more open and louder to more saturated and dirty. The Tone control gives you a wide sweep to give you fat tones or thinner more vintage tones.

The left side of the Calhoun, engaged by the left footswitch, is our Twin Twelve channel drive designed after the vintage Silvertone amps made in the early 60s. This circuit gives you a ton of vintage character and plenty of tonal control to get you the drive sound you're looking for! With Volume and Drive controls you can boost your amp or send the pedal into heavy overdrive. There are separate Treble and Bass controls just like you'll find on the vintage amps, giving you tons of control over your tone to cut through any mix.

In the center of the pedal, there is a toggle to select the order of the effects when both are engaged. When flipped to the right the fuzz is first in the chain, when flipped to the left the overdrive is first in the chain.in.

Features:
• Classic overdrive and fuzz tones fully approved by Mike Campbell.
• Tons of control to dial in your perfect sound.
• Fully independent circuits for individual use or stacking.
• Order toggle to select the order of effects when stacking.
All of Mike's proceeds from the Calhoun are being donated to the Tazzy Animal Rescue Fund.

Get your hands on a Calhoun V2 and you'll be howling for more!

This pedal requires standard 9V DC Negative power, consumes less than 100mA, and measures 3.65"x4.65"x1.2.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
