New JHS Muffuletta Army Green Fuzz Guitar Effects Pedal

Color: Army Green

From JHS:

In 1967 the legendary Mike Matthews started experimenting with circuits for the electric guitar, and by early 1969 he had created a circuit that has become one of the most legendary, collected and mythical pedals in the history of guitar effects. With 30+ versions made throughout its almost half a century lifetime, the Big Muff Distortion/Fuzz has personally pioneered the sounds of some of the biggest bands and musical movements in history. The Muffuletta is our tribute to the legend and story of one of the greatest pedals ever invented.

The heart of the Muffuletta is the fact that it replicates five classic Big Muff circuits from years gone by as well as a new and original JHS version for a total of six Muff models. All executed without any digital signal processing or digital emulation. When you choose a model, you are achieving analog tone that uses real components and values found in the original units.

There are four controls: Volume, Tone, Sustain and Mode. The "Volume" control adjusts the overall output of the pedal. The "Tone" control lets you brighten or darken your overall tone. The "Sustain" control is best understood as a gain or distortion control. The "Mode" control lets you choose from six different versions of the Big Muff on the fly.

Modes

Never before has there been a single pedal that gives you all these different eras of its tone. The Muffuletta can fit in anyone's rig who loves dirt, distortion and fuzz.
