JHS Pedals Supreme - Legends of Fuzz Series

The "Legends Of Fuzz'' series is a collection of the world's most historic, rare, and sought after circuits. "At JHS, fuzz pedals have been in our lineup for over a decade. We have designed original circuits, replicated classics, and we have seen the trend of fuzz popularity come and go. The "Legends Of Fuzz'' series is our tribute to the most important fuzz circuits ever made. It is our way of ensuring that the stories of these effects live on in the music that you are going to make. From the earliest days of fuzz in the mid-60s London scene to the 1990s ex-Soviet military factories that brought the Big Muff back to life, fuzz tells a story, and that story includes guitarists just like you. There is nothing more primitive than plugging your guitar into a vintage fuzz circuit; it is raw, untamed, and so pure that it pushes the boundaries of what your instrument can accomplish. Plug into a fuzz and plug into sixty years of beautifully broken sound." 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.
