From their website:
"Are you looking for an overdrive that is not transparent and adds its own character and attitude? The Moonshine is for you. Our Moonshine Overdrive is a highly unique and massively tweaked version of the most famous overdrive ever created and housed in a little green enclosure. Blues, rock, country, jazz, and even hardcore/metal players will find this is an indispensable tool for shaping and creating unique mid heavy tones for almost any need.
You'll immediately feel at home with our basic Volume, Tone, and Drive knobs, so tweak away! The simple 2-position "Proof" toggle gives you everything from low gain amp-like breakup with powerful colored boost settings to grinding, heavy overdrive that reaches to the very edge of cranked amp distortion.
In the down position, you'll find the highest gain settings, lots of saturation and sustain and the most mid-range goo available. In the up position are the more open and forceful crunchy tones that will make any amp beg for mercy. The up position also adds more overall volume and more headroom to those searching for cleaner applications. The tone control goes down as smooth as Grandpa's White Lightning, with none of the harsh ice-pick characteristics that many overdrives have in the brighter settings.
Just like our SuperBolt pedal, the Moonshine uses an internal 9v to 18v charge pump that allows it to run on normal 9v but converting it internally to 18v for an enormous amount of headroom, added low-end and more overall punch.
We wouldn't be surprised if this is the most girthy, thick overdrive you have ever plugged into. If you're a fan of stacking overdrives, you'll love putting this in front of or behind your favorite drive, booster, or fuzz. The Moonshine delivers on any style amp, easily producing anything from SRV classic Stratocaster/Fender amp tones with class to huge "wall of rock" The Edge-style force through a Vox. On another note, you might find a few Dumble-esque lead settings that will have you feeling like you saved a cool $100,000 in search of that sacred tone. Last but not least, it kills on bass guitar, the reason it was originally designed."
JHS 808

"After gobs and gobs of requests to make a single unit version of the JHS-808 found in our Double Barrel and Sweet Tea, we caved in!
The most famous pedal in the world, no really.... The TS808 Tubescreamer Overdrive, created by Ibanez/Maxon, has seen many revisions throughout the years, but we believe that the original 808 version stands the test of time. The Tubescreamer has literally been cloned, copied, modified and tweaked beyond belief for one reason...it rocks!
This is the EXACT same 808 in our Sweet Tea and Double Barrel that we have been making for several years! Check out those demo's for some examples of this pedal in action. The only difference between the JHS 808 single pedal and the Sweet Tea/Double Barrel is that the JHS 808 single pedal can run at 18v.
This is our replica of the original version based on the original 808 with the only difference primarily being our custom 3 way gain toggle that let's you choose from stock (down), boost (middle) and crunch (up). Made with high grade components, true bypass switching, high quality construction and the sacred 4558 chipset covered in the dust of unicorn hooves. We are convinced that this screamer replica does what it should better than anything on the market."
