JHS Pedals - AT Mini Andy Timmons' Overdrive
The AT Mini is the original V1 AT circuit, permanently set in Andy's preferred 100-watt mode — the open, loud, less-compressed voicing with the most volume and the most amp-like crunch. No toggle. Just the setting the guy whose name is on the pedal uses.

The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Permanently locked in 100-watt mode for maximum volume and minimal compression; responds dynamically to pick intensity; amp-like crunch character without toggle switching or mode complexity; derived from JHS's full AT circuit architecture.
Pairs well with transparent boost pedals for additional gain staging; minimal setup required beyond standard 9V power; compact footprint suits pedalboards with space constraints; ideal as primary drive source rather than supplementary texture.
A purpose-built overdrive for players who trust a single voicing over versatility. The AT Mini cuts through the choice paralysis with Timmons' proven tone, offering natural breakup and dynamic response that rewards technique over knob-twiddling.

INSTANT TONES. SMALLER FOOTPRINT. SMALLER PRICE.
In 2016 we released Andy Timmons' signature overdrive, the AT — or as everybody ended up calling it, "the @." It started in 2013 when Andy bought a JHS Angry Charlie and made it his main lead channel, beating out the distortion channels of the boutique amps he's known for. We met at NAMM, discussed some ideas for his own version, and soon after, the AT was born.
The AT Mini is the original V1 AT circuit, permanently set in Andy's preferred 100-watt mode — the open, loud, less-compressed voicing with the most volume and the most amp-like crunch. No toggle. Just the setting the guy whose name is on the pedal uses.
If you need the most authentic British distortion lead and rhythm sound you can find — one that perfectly replicates the punch, saturation, and unmistakable feeling of standing in front of a stack of loud amplifiers — this is it.
WHAT'S DIFFERENT
This is the same exact circuit as the V1.
Same four knobs. Smaller box, smaller price.
FIRST: We put it in a new enclosure — a compact case that gives you back valuable board real estate.
SECOND: We removed the wattage toggle and set the voicing to 100 watts.
THAT'S IT: Volume, Drive, EQ, and Air all work exactly as they always have.
If you want the 25-watt and 50-watt voicings, or the independent footswitchable boost channel, that's the AT+. Still in the JHS Pedals catalog. Still $219.
If you want Andy's tone with Andy's exact setting in a smaller footprint for $129, this is it.
CONTROLS
- VOLUME – Controls the output volume.
- DRIVE – Controls the amount of drive and gain, just like a tube amp being cranked at high volumes. Wide range from high-gain blues to thunderous distortion.
- EQ – A high pass filter that naturally brightens or darkens the overall tone of the pedal. Right is brighter, left is darker.
- AIR – Just like the presence knob on an amp, this lets you dial in the perfect amount of high end for compatibility with any amp. Right is brighter, left is darker.
- INPUT – 1/4" right jack.
- OUTPUT – 1/4" left jack.
- POWER – Requires 9VDC to 18VDC center negative power and consumes 10mA.
