Legendary Pros & Cons
Pros

- +Sturdy build quality characteristic of JHS pedals
- +Features a bright LED indicator (requires 9V power, though the mute works without it)

The Verdict
The JHS Mute Switch earns a Legendary 100/100 EJ Score simply because it does exactly what it’s supposed to do with zero fuss. While 5 might seem steep for a simple ‘off’ switch, the reliability and silent operation make it a staple for gigging musicians and studio pros alike. It’s an ‘invisible’ but essential part of a professional rig.
