Crimson - 1992 Russia

OVERDRIVE

DISTORTION

FUZZ

The JHS Pedals Crimson is an exact replica of the Mike Matthews Red Army Overdrive by Sovtek. This is the very first Russian-made Big Muff ever produced and possibly the rarest of all time. Only manufactured in small numbers from 1991-1992, very few examples of this still exist, making this almost impossible to find. The JHS Pedals Crimson now allows you to own a unique part of fuzz history. The controls are Volume, Tone, and Distort. Volume sets the overall output level of the effect; turn it up and things get louder. Tone lets you sweep between bright and dark tones so that the Crimson works well with a range of different amplifiers and guitars. Distort is the distortion control; the more you turn it clockwise, the more fuzz you create. On the side you will see a 'Mode' button that lets you access a never-before-heard 'JHS Mode'. Push that button for a mid frequency boost that forces your sound through the mix. If you love the tones of the Smashing Pumpkins, Wilco, Sonic Youth, David Gilmour, White Stripes and Dinosaur Jr, then this is the pedal for you.
