In 1966 the electric guitar was still in its infancy. As early as the mid-1940's guitarist had discovered the magic of turning up their valve amplifiers to create overdrive and distortion, but this sound was a very new frontier. In 1962 we saw the first mass-produced fuzz box in the Maestro Fuzz-Tone as well as the second-ever in 1965 by Sola Sound, the Tonebender. These fuzz boxes produced massive amounts of distortion and fuzz within themselves, even if your amp's tone was clean. In 1966 a company called Dallas Musical LTD who was known for producing amplifiers and guitars released something different, a first of its kind. The name of this effect was the Rangemaster Treble Booster. It wasn't a pedal but a stand-alone box with no footswitch that sat on your amplifier. The Rangemaster is similar in design to what we consider a fuzz to be, but the sound is not. In 1966, English manufactured amplifiers such as Vox and Marshall were much darker than the American made Fenders. This new effect unit allowed you to boost the middle and high-frequency range of your guitar into these darker amps so that you could achieve a brighter and more aggressive tone that would cut through a band mix. It also gave the guitarist a powerful amount of boost/volume that could push the preamp valves into beautifully overdriven and distorted tones. This circuit gave us some of the most beloved tones in guitar history as players like Rory Gallagher, Brian May, Tony Iommi, Marc Bolan, and Billy Gibbons made it their secret weapon. As with most classic fuzz pedals, it loves a dirty amp or overdrive afterward in the signal path. Staying true to the original, I used high-grade carbon composition resistors, oversized capacitors, and a single germanium transistor that I hand-selected. 

Each small batch of Boosts will use different transistors as it is challenging to find reliable sources of these devices in large quantities. The circuit uses vintage positive ground voltage, so do not daisy chain your power with other pedals. Inside the pedal is a battery snap or use any isolated power supply with a normal polarity power cable like your other pedals as I have wired it internally to work that way. The Boost is identical to the original except that I adjusted the taper of the pot to feel more intuitive. I also added a single power supply filter capacitor to help with noise and pull-down resistance to relieve switch pop. The switching is true-bypass. Each pedal in this batch is built-in identical form, but because of parts tolerances and the slight variance in the transistors, they will all be a bit different while still being the same. Be sure to always have this pedal first in your signal chain; the guitar must be plugged into its input due to the impedance it requires on its input, no exceptions.

Das JHS Pedals Supreme ist ein exakter Nachbau von einem der beliebtesten Vintage Effekte aus Japan: Dem Shin-Ei Super-Fuzz. Das Supreme basiert auf einem extrem seltenen Black/Gray-Modell. Obwohl die ersten Versionen des Originals klanglich sehr nah beieinander liegen bietet die Version von 1972 eine gewisse Magie, die aus der Menge hervorsticht. Man denkt an ein Octavia Fuzz, "dass mit dem falschen Fuß aufgestanden ist" - ein lautes, schreiendes, lebhaftes Octave Fuzz mit allen Reglern auf Maximum. Die Regelmöglichkeiten sind mit Volume und Expand denkbar einfach. Volume kontrolliert das Output Level, Expand regelt den Grad an Verzerrung - je weiter man den Regler aufdreht, desto mehr Fuzz erhält man. An der Seite des Pedals sind zwei zusätzliche Schalter angebracht. Der Tone Schalter aktiviert einen Cut im Mitten-Bereich, der einen klassischen Scooped Mid EQ Sound erzeugt und dadurch die Attack im Signal abflacht. Der schaltbare 'JHS Mode' bietet eine stärkere Betonung des Octave Up Effekts mit einer dichteren Mid-Range und mehr Output Volume. Wer die klassischen Octave Fuzz Sounds von Pete Townsend, Black Keys, White Stripes, Beastie Boys und Mudhoney sucht wird das JHS Pedals Supreme lieben!

The JHS Pedals Supreme is an exact replica of one of the most sought after vintage effects from Japan: the Shin-Ei Super-Fuzz. The Supreme is based on an extremely rare black and grey model. Although every early version of the original pedal sounds strikingly similar, the 1972 unit has a certain magic that makes it stand out above the others. Imagine an Octavia Fuzz that woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and that's what you're plugging into here: a loud, screaming, full and vibrant octave fuzz that is always at 11. The controls are Volume and Expand. Volume makes the effect louder as you turn it and Expand increases the amount of fuzz. On the side you will see two buttons. The 'Tone' button engages a mid cut that flattens out the Supreme's attack and makes it more submissive. Think of this as a preset scooped mid EQ control. The 'Mode' button activates our very own 'JHS Mode' setting. You will hear a much more pronounced octave up effect, thicker mid-range, and more available volume/boost. If you want to replicate the classic octave fuzz sounds of Pete Townsend, Black Keys, White Stripes, Beastie Boys, and Mudhoney, this is it.

Supreme - 1972 Japan

Das legendäre Big Muff Fuzz gibt es schon so lange, es wurde auf so vielen klassischen Aufnahmen verewigt und hat dabei so viele Variationen durchgemacht, dass wahrscheinlich jeder Gitarrist eine Lieblingsversion des ikonischen Tones hat. JHS Pedals wollte diesem unbestreitbar klassischen Fuzz Pedal Tribut zollen, aber sie konnten sich nicht darauf einigen, welche Muff-Version die beste war. Mit dem Muffuletta kommt diese Unentschlossenheit nun jedem Musiker zugute: JHS Pedals hat fünf komplett analoge Nachbildungen der beliebtesten Variationen des Pedals in diese Stompbox gepackt und sogar eine exklusive JHS-Version hinzugefügt, die eine einzigartige Interpretation des historischen Effekts ist. Egal, welche Big Muff-Ära man bevorzugt, man kann sie alle im JHS Muffuletta Fuzz Pedal finden. Die Army Green-Version bietet genau die gleiche Schaltung und die gleichen Sounds, Regelmöglichkeiten und Klänge wie die klassische schwarze Version - nur mit einem aktualisierten, atemberaubenden Finish!

The legendary Big Muff fuzz has been around so long, been on so many classic recordings, and been through so many variations that every guitarist out there has a favorite version of its iconic tone. JHS Pedals wanted to pay tribute to that undeniably classic fuzz pedal, but they couldn't come to a consensus about which Muff was king. With the Muffuletta, their indecision is every musicians gain. JHS Pedals crammed five all-analog re-creations of the pedal's most beloved tones into this box and they even threw in a JHS-exclusive tone that is their unique take on the historic stomp. No matter what Big Muff era you prefer, you can get 'em all in the JHS Muffuletta fuzz pedal. The Army Green version provides exactly the same circuit, sounds, control and tone as the classic black version - only with an updated stunning finish!

 Inherently simple devices like fuzz circuits are extremely sensitive to the amount of voltage that they receive, thus any change in the voltage from your power supply will cause drastically different tones. Guitarists eventually caught on to this hack and began draining their batteries to try and find the sweet spot for their fuzz pedal. A good idea in theory, but who has time for that? Then, just a few years ago, a certain unnamed guitarist reached out to me for a practical solution for this technique– and the Volture was born.
