In 1966 the electric guitar was still in its infancy. As early as the mid-1940's guitarist had discovered the magic of turning up their valve amplifiers to create overdrive and distortion, but this sound was a very new frontier. In 1962 we saw the first mass-produced fuzz box in the Maestro Fuzz-Tone as well as the second-ever in 1965 by Sola Sound, the Tonebender. These fuzz boxes produced massive amounts of distortion and fuzz within themselves, even if your amp's tone was clean. In 1966 a company called Dallas Musical LTD who was known for producing amplifiers and guitars released something different, a first of its kind. The name of this effect was the Rangemaster Treble Booster. It wasn't a pedal but a stand-alone box with no footswitch that sat on your amplifier. The Rangemaster is similar in design to what we consider a fuzz to be, but the sound is not. In 1966, English manufactured amplifiers such as Vox and Marshall were much darker than the American made Fenders. This new effect unit allowed you to boost the middle and high-frequency range of your guitar into these darker amps so that you could achieve a brighter and more aggressive tone that would cut through a band mix. It also gave the guitarist a powerful amount of boost/volume that could push the preamp valves into beautifully overdriven and distorted tones. This circuit gave us some of the most beloved tones in guitar history as players like Rory Gallagher, Brian May, Tony Iommi, Marc Bolan, and Billy Gibbons made it their secret weapon. As with most classic fuzz pedals, it loves a dirty amp or overdrive afterward in the signal path. Staying true to the original, I used high-grade carbon composition resistors, oversized capacitors, and a single germanium transistor that I hand-selected. 

Each small batch of Boosts will use different transistors as it is challenging to find reliable sources of these devices in large quantities. The circuit uses vintage positive ground voltage, so do not daisy chain your power with other pedals. Inside the pedal is a battery snap or use any isolated power supply with a normal polarity power cable like your other pedals as I have wired it internally to work that way. The Boost is identical to the original except that I adjusted the taper of the pot to feel more intuitive. I also added a single power supply filter capacitor to help with noise and pull-down resistance to relieve switch pop. The switching is true-bypass. Each pedal in this batch is built-in identical form, but because of parts tolerances and the slight variance in the transistors, they will all be a bit different while still being the same. Be sure to always have this pedal first in your signal chain; the guitar must be plugged into its input due to the impedance it requires on its input, no exceptions.

1966 Series Boost

The JHS Alpine Reverb Pedal﻿ was designed as a simple and straightforward reverb pedal, but one that is also extremely powerful and doesn't take much to maximize its potential. Modeled with two footswitches for further control, the one on the left is simply the on/off switch. The other is called the Shift control - essentially allowing you to switch between two settings on the fly without having to tweak any knobs mid-show.

It has five controls: Reverb, Depth, Highs, Length, and Shift. Reverb is a wet/dry mix control so you can adjust the saturation of your signal. Depth adjusts the size and space of the effect - essentially the size of the room (or canyon) in which you're playing. Highs acts as a high-pass filter and adjusts the tonality of the reverb. Length adjusts the decay time of the effect. And Shift works in conjunction with the right footswitch, acting as a second Reverb control. Loaded with killer features and great effects, the ﻿JHS Alpine Reverb Pedal makes for one helluva versatile effect pedal. Requires a standard 9V DC power adapter.

Nutze den Red Remote mit ausgewählten JHS Pedals um die um ihre On-Board Toggle Funktionen ohne Bücken anzuwählen. Verbinde ihn mit einem einfachen Instrumentenkabel und er agiert als On-the-Fly Umschalter zwischen den Pedal Modi.

Use the Red Remote with select JHS Pedals to remotely activate the on-board toggle found on the pedal itself. By connecting the Red Remote to a Red Remote equipped pedal with any 1/4” instrument cable, this essentially acts as an on-the-fly switcher to give you more tonal options in any setting.

Jimi Hendrix erschien 1966 in London und das damals neue Arbiter Electronics Fuzz Face wurde sein bevorzugtes Fuzz-Pedal - der Rest ist Geschichte. In den ersten Jahren wurde das Fuzz Face mit Germanium-Transistoren gebaut bis das Pedal 1969 komplett auf Silizium-Transistoren umgestellt wurde. Hendrix selbst bevorzugte die Silizium-Version wegen des aggressiveren, bissigeren Sounds und natürlich wegen der besseren Beständigkeit. Der JHS Pedals Smiley bietet eine klanggetreue Nachbildung der Eigenschaften, die die frühen Silizium Fuzz Faces bis heute zu einem Meilenstein der Musikgeschichte machen. Mehrere Vintage Pedale wurden sorgfältig analysiert um die Magie dieser Ära mit dem Smiley perfekt einzufangen. Der Smiley ist klar und definiert und überspannt die Grenze zwischen Fuzz Effektpedal und 'sägendem' Sustain. Die Stompbox erhält das Low-End und den knackigen Biss in der Midrange wie man es von einem Vintage Arbiter-Pedal erwartet. Eine der am meisten verehrten Eigenschaften eines guten Fuzz Face ist die Fähigkeit dynamisch auf das Level der Gitarre zu reagieren und cleaner zu werden, wenn die Lautstärke der Gitarre zurückgedreht wird - der Smiley tut dies mühelos. Die Regelmöglichkeiten sind mit Volume und Fuzz denkbar einfach. Volume kontrolliert das Output Level, Fuzz regelt den Grad an Verzerrung - je weiter man den Regler aufdreht, desto mehr Fuzz erhält man. Über einen Schalter an der Seite lässt sich der einzigartige 'JHS Mode' aktivieren, der den Smiley in High-Gain / Gated Fuzz Bereiche bringt. Wenn man nach einem Fuzz für klassische Sounds sucht wird man genau hier fündig. Legenden wie Jimi Hendrix, Jack White, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour und Eric Johnson haben diese Schaltung auf ihren Alben verewigt - jetzt seid ihr an der Reihe!

In 1966 Jimi Hendrix arrived in London and adopted the Arbiter Electronics Fuzz Face as his weapon of choice, and the rest is history. The first few years of the Fuzz Face were manufactured using germanium transistors but by 1969, germanium fully gave way to silicon devices and Arbiter never looked back. Hendrix himself preferred the silicon versions over germanium because of their sound, aggressive bite, and their stability in environments where germanium proved inconsistent. The JHS Pedals Smiley is a sonically faithful recreation of what makes these early silicon Fuzz Faces great. Several vintage units were considered and analyzed so that JHS Pedals could be sure to perfectly capture the magic that everyone loves in this era. The Smiley is clear and defined, straddling the line between distortion pedal and a searing sustain, sustaining low end and crisp mid-range bite that you expect from a vintage Arbiter unit. One of the most revered characteristics of a good Fuzz Face is its ability to clean up when the guitar's volume is rolled back, and the Smiley does this effortlessly. The controls are Volume and Fuzz. Volume sets the overall output level of the effect; turn it up and it gets louder. Fuzz is the distortion control; the more you turn it clockwise, the more fuzz you create. On the side you will see a 'Mode' control. Push this button to access our own unique 'JHS Mode'. This mode sends the Smiley into high gain / gated fuzz territory that you may never want to come back from. If you want a fuzz that covers coveted classic tones, look no further. Legends like Jimi Hendrix, Jack White, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, and Eric Johnson have used this circuit on countless albums. Now it's your turn.
