JHS Pedals announced The Wanderer, a two-in-one overdrive combining its Morning Glory and NOTAKLÖN circuits, on October 13, 2026, in a company video¹. The pedal is the first in what JHS describes as a new vertical two-in-one format with top-mounted jacks².

The right side is the Morning Glory, which JHS calls its take on a Marshall Bluesbreaker and its best-selling pedal ever; the left side is the NOTAKLÖN, a Klon-style overdrive². Each side keeps the controls of the standalone pedal: Volume, Drive and Tone on the Morning Glory, and Volume, Gain and Treble on the NOTAKLÖN³². The Morning Glory's Gain toggle adds an additional gain stage and its LED turns red when that mode is active, and an inset Bright Cut switch cuts the highest frequencies². The NOTAKLÖN's +/- toggle engages the Shamrock mod, which JHS says adds 4 dB of gain, more midrange and an additional stage of hard clipping². Its Gain control, fully counterclockwise, allows up to 16 dB of clean boost with the Volume control².

An Order toggle sets which side comes first when stacking, and has no effect when the individual jacks are used². Each side has its own input and output jacks, so the circuits can run separately, with other pedals between them, or into separate loops on a switcher². JHS says the two sides share only a power supply and an enclosure². Each side also has a Red Remote jack for an external latching footswitch or a switcher's amp-control outputs to flip the gain toggles remotely². The pedal uses silent soft-touch switching and buffered bypass, and requires 9VDC center negative power at 165mA⁴².

The Wanderer is $299 on the JHS webstore³. Guitar World reported that buying the two pedals separately would cost about $30 more⁵. JHS said the Wanderer is the first of several pedals in the new format¹. Guitar Pedal X's Stefan Karlsson called it "very decent for sure" but wrote that he already has similar options and currently considers it "more of a nice-to-have"³.
