Jam Ray: Vemuram Jan Ray
The Jan Ray is a fabulous boost and overdrive, any way you look at it. It’s being endorsed by an impressive list of artists, including Michael Landau, Oz Noy, Scott Henderson, Pete Thorn, Matt Schofield and others.
It can act as a clean boost, or turn a clean amp into an overdriven one. The pedal provides natural-feeling compression, as well as crispness on the top, along with warmth and softness in the lows (quoted from MixDown’s review).
“BOOST-OVERDRIVE Pedal with Large head room
The Jan Ray was designed to recreate the punchy clear tone of the Blackface Fender amps from the 60’s. So-called the “Fender Magic 6” sound. An easy to handle overdrive keeping the characteristics of the guitar, with great sustain without any unnatural compression.” — Vemuram

The “Fender Magic 6” sound refers to Volume and Treble on 6, Middle on 3 and Bass on 2 (6, 6, and 3x2), as often dialed in on a Super Reverb.
This pedal too has caused heated discussions on internet forums because of alleged similarities to the Timmy.
This boutique pedal sells for over 400 USD / Euros!! But we get it for free through a firmware upgrade. What a wonderful world it is.
The diode-based pedal has these controls:
- Volume: output volume (model: Level).
- Bass: bass cut (model: Bass Cut).
- Treble: amount of treble (model: Treble).
- Gain: amount of overdrive (model: Drive).
