Electro-Harmonix Pedals

Soul Food

Tone aficionados kept telling EHX's Mike Matthews about a pedal that had achieved a lot of buzz because it was only obtainable at an exorbitant price. That pedal was the KLON CENTAUR. A believer in bringing great tools to starving musicians, Mike tasked his trusty team to create an affordable alternative, and that is how the SOUL FOOD was cooked up.

Nano Big Muff Pi Distortion/Fuzz/Overdrive

We took the Big Muff Pi circuit and simply shrunk it without changing its rich, creamy, violin-like sustain and sound. The Nano Big Muff Pi works and sounds identical in every way to our classic NYC Big Muff Pi. Get a piece of the pi for yourself!

JHS Pedals

Muffuletta

The 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 wanted to pay tribute to that undeniably classic fuzz pedal, but we couldn’t come to a consensus about which Muff was king. With the Muffuletta, our indecision is your 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.

Analogman

Sunface

The Analog Man Sun Face custom built fuzz pedal. This is higher quality than almost any other fuzzface clone you will find, with shielding, plated through-holes, etc to meet military specs. Available with several transistor choices and many, many options, another amazing Analog Man pedal! This Sunface comes in the bigger gold box (as pictured) and has Top Jacks. It also has a power jack, LED, and on/off fuzz pot which disconnects the battery when not in use. This Sunface has a Standard High Gain Germanium Transister. We now put the SUN DIAL on the Sunface to make a 3 knob small gold pedal. The middle knob is on the center of the Sun Face Graphics. It is the exact same function and circuit as the internal BIAS trim pot on the 2 knob model. It is used for keeping the fuzz happy at different temperatures, and with different or worn batteries. We call it the SUN DIAL and the knob is painted to match the pedal. We factory set the SUNDIAL so the face is vertical at our shop temperature (70 degrees or so depending on if it's Winter or Summer!). You can set it by ear, just turn it up until the buzziness goes away as much as you like. Jim Weider has an NKT Sunface with the SUN DIAL and likes to run the sundial higher than our normal setting, he turns it almost all the way up for less fuzz and a purer tone. You can turn it down all the way for a buzzy sound like "spirit in the sky", where the fuzz fizzes out.

Zvex Pedals

High Road Mini Fuzz

HONEY WE SHRUNK THE TONE!! An updated take on the original High Road Fuzz, this pedal is the size of our Golden Fleece but with the same beautiful aesthetic designed by Roberta Landreth and tone of the original. Designed in collaboration with Joey Landreth for the release of his newest single "Forgiveness" (Listen Here) the High Road Fuzz was designed to give you the focused tone of Silicon fuzzes of yesteryear with the reliability of a modern build. The single "Output" control sets your overall volume and you control the fuzz level and tone with your guitar controls. Joey asked for a fuzz that also has that high baised spitty tone that some vintage fuzz units have and we think the High Road Fuzz really gives you that in spades!

Classic 108 Fuzz

Big Ear Pedals

Loaf

The LOAF is technically a medium-gain fuzz, but don’t let that fool you… It’s still huge, fat, and wooly! While most fuzz pedals are accused of stealing your low end, the LOAF will actually do the opposite and roll off some of the harsh, brittle, and “buzzy” high- end that is associated with those other pedals. The simple three-knob layout allows you to easily dial-in the perfect setting on every guitar. The interactive volume and tone controls make every setting as musical as the next. The pedal reacts to your playing-dynamics much like a classic tube amp, and of course, it cleans up beautifully as well.

Fulltone

69 MkII

This is how you wished your Fuzzface sounded... Fat and Harmonic. And it cleans up like a vintage Fender amp when you turn down your guitar's volume control. The Rolling Stones and the Black Crowes have discovered this trick. If you love the first 2 Hendrix releases then you'll love this pedal, with 2 Germanium transistors hand-picked and tested for optimum performance. A Contour Knob lets you dial in Midrange, Harmonics and Sustain, also an Input Bias knob that takes out the "woofiness" and gives great Overdrive/Distortion sounds when its level is reduced. An Internal Trimmer allows for adjustment of Clipping Symmetry, Harmonics, and Tracking.

Wampler Pedals

Velvet Fuzz

With all the character, power, and tone of a classic fuzz – the Velvet offers all this AND the option to tame the beast and bring it back under control. Looking back through history of great fuzz tone, there have been some truly outstanding examples - in particular, the tones that have been achieved by running a fuzz into a screaming stack. The kind of tones that are just earth shattering in their depth, aggression and smoothness. We took the base tones from a very famous Wampler Pedal (one that has the characteristics of a famous stacked, EL34 driven, amp) and decided this was the best foundation to build the perfect fuzz and deliver it in a unit that sounds as good as it feels powerful.
