The Gold Shift is a result of so many people asking for the Gain Stage Gold after it was discontinued.

Not wanting to just bring it back in its original form, a new voicing was added that makes the Gold Shift an extremely versatile overdrive.

One thing that made the Gain Stage Gold standout was, as the gain is turned up, the pick attack becomes more percussive — almost like playing with a metal pick. This is carried through to the Gold Shift because in the “Gold” position, it is 100% identical to the original circuit. The “Shift” position is a creamier, “violin tone” at higher gain settings.

Overall, the Gold Shift covers a lot of territory; from aggressive higher gain to sultry, smokey blues.

My take on the pedal is think of a JMC 800 tone similar to the mid-eighties metal or the scorching blues of Gary Moore, specially his live album. Great sounding pedal with nice deep and rich harmonics. Really cuts through a mix well.

One Note: Please do not tamper with the effect. A lot of people are very curious how Jetter Gear builds these pedals because they sound so good. i.e, The LED comes loose. This is a sign of tampering. Its virtually impossible for the LED light to come loose or fall out. However if you take apart the inner workings of the pedal it's tough to get it back in there the exact way Jetter built the pedal and problems will arise.
