JHS Muffuletta Fuzz Pedal

No longer available at zZounds
Your search for the perfect Muff-type fuzz ends with the Muffuletta. A total of six different fuzz circuits offer various flavors of the mighty Big Muff.

JHS pays tribute to that undeniably classic Muff fuzz pedal with the JHS Muffuletta Fuzz Pedal. The big difference in this Muffuletta, is the gain. We crammed five all-analog re-creations of the pedal*s most beloved tones into this box. We even threw in a JHS-exclusive tone that is our take on the historic stomp. No matter what Big Muff era you prefer, you can get 'em all in the JHS Muffuletta fuzz pedal.

Five tones inspired by these classic Big Muffs

- JHS - "2015": The JHS Muff is a JHS original take on the classic circuit. You will find this version more powerful and less compressed, with a more haunting midrange. It is also the best for bass guitar.
- '73 Rams Head - ‘1973-1977 V2": The '73 Rams Head gets its name for the strange little face that appears on the lower right corner of the original pedal. It is best known for having a scooped midrange, less gain, and being darker.
Famous users: David Gilmour (main Pink Floyd recordings), Ernie Isley (Isley Brothers), and J. Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.)
- The Triangle - "1969-1970 V1": The Triangle Muff is so named for the triangle arrangement of the knobs. It boasts more low-end response while being more articulate.
Famous users: Santana, David Gilmour's Pete Cornish-made pedalboards, John Lennon, Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine), and possibly Jimi Hendrix.
- The Pi - "1977-1978 V3": An instantly recognizable red Pi symbol gives this pedal its moniker. This is not to be confused with the later redesigned NYC version released read more in 2000. It features a more aggressive sound.
Famous users: Frank Zappa, Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Jack White, The Edge (U2), Beck, and Pete Townshend (The Who).
- The Russian - "1999-2009 V8": The Russian Muff is named by the "Made in Russia" text found on the back of the pedals. It sports less clarity and less low end than other models. A great garage-type sound.
Famous users: Dan Auerbach (Black Keys), Chris Wolstenholme (Muse), and Robin Finck (Nine Inch Nails).
- The Civil War - "1991-1993 V7": The old-style Civil War-era font and navy and gray colors found on these pedals' enclosures dictate their name. They are best known for having more midrange and having a brighter overall tone with less gain.

Famous Muffuletta Players: Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), John Fogerty, Jeff Tweedy (Wilco), Mike Mills, and Peter Buck (REM).
With a pedal so stuffed with tasty tones you will have a hard time needing anything else to curb your appetite.

The Muffuletta is powerful tool that's capable of creating a huge verity of tones. From smooth lead tones of Santana and Gilmour to crunchy rock riffs or the metal high gain sounds of Van Halen and Randy Rhoads all the way up to funky fuzz and Armageddon world coming to an end Fuzzdom Doom. WOW what a range all these Tones are dynamic and lush full fidelity sounds not the over-compressed muted tone sucking fuzz sounds that come from low quality pedals or digital recreations. I was Skeptical of how good this pedal was going to be but after seeing online reviews I was ready to take a chance and I'm glad I did. Some video reviews of this product are Awful and I think its because if you plug this pedal in and have the (sustain knob) which is the drive knob set high after 12 o'clock you are not going to get a great difference in just switching between the different fuzz versions of this pedal. You really have to dial in the fuzzes using the different knobs which are very Dynamic and will make a big difference in Tone shaping, That's what makes this Pedal really shine being able to unlock a so many variety of sounds. I bought this pedal with the JHS pulp n peel and they go very well together, In fact my Pedal chain is comp
