JCA The Reverend
When it comes to reproducing Billy Gibbons' legendary 'Pearly Gates' sound, the JCA Reverend sets new standards. The sonic blueprint for this pedal is the brown Fender Deluxe that Gibbons made his trademark throughout the 70s and 80s.
Whether you play a Les Paul, Telecaster, or Stratocaster – the Reverend delivers a consistently juicy and punchy tone. Even at the minimum setting of the 'Juice' control, the gritty 'Brown Sugar' sound unfolds. Despite high gain reserves, the touch dynamics and the individual character of your instrument remain fully intact, even at maximum distortion.
Thanks to its excellent circuitry, the level of gain can be sensitively controlled via the guitar's volume pot: rolling it back clears up the sound beautifully, revealing crisp, glassy highs.
Bring the authentic trademark sound of a Texan legend to your pedalboard.

"Yes, this is what I've been waiting for. I love that ZZ Top blues rock sound. With the Reverend, you can get Billy Gibbons' sound perfectly. The three controls in combination with the volume on the guitar let you achieve a lot of what you hear on the albums by the longbeards. Unbelievable but true. The mids and highs are really great. Distortion that almost goes into fuzz at full throttle. Deluxe! No loss of highs when the volume is turned down on the guitar. I love these pedals from JCA for this feature alone. Stefan, you've hit the mark again with this pedal. This is the third pedal from JCA that's staying here. The Reverend was tested with a “Career by Felleretta” 5W combo, ENGL Fireball 25, and Boss Katana Gen3 via a 1x12" Thiele Box Celestion Redback. I had a fellow musician visiting me who, of course, also played the three pedals. He wanted to buy them from me. But ordering them yourself is the way to go! :-) Since you've put so much heart and soul into the pedals, I'm sure your Twenty II will be the same. When the day comes, I'll order one from you! Thanks again for the quick delivery! Best regards, Michael"

"Wow, I'm impressed by this pedal! It's a real tone monster!" Mark, Netherlands
"The JCA package arrived yesterday while we were enjoying a few beers after the shop closed... I opened the package and tried it out, and the Reverend is amazing and was immediately sold. Please send me two more Reverend pedals..." (J's Guitar Shop)
