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.

Smiley - 1969 London

The landmark bass recordings captured on the West Coast during the 1960s may seem challenging to achieve without truckloads of bulky, expensive vintage gear. But with a little help from the all-in-one Punchline Bass Station and the soldering artisans at JHS, you can enjoy the benefits of iconic bass tone inspired by the late-’60s sessions of The Beach Boys and their talented hired guns from the LA studio scene. Conceived in celebration of “The Beach Boys” documentary on Disney+, The Punchline is named for an unreleased track from the group’s early instrumental days, and it supplies four ways to shape output: a VCA compressor, an overdrive tailored to bass, a vintage amp simulator, and robust 3-band EQ. Together, these effects elicit musical results faster than you can say oom bop bop! Footswitch controls for Compressor and Overdrive sections enable quick dynamic shifts, making the Punchline Bass Station pedal an excellent choice for live performances. Moreover, your clean tone can be blended with the overdrive, which allows sculpted cleans with just a hint of vintage breakup, all the way up to the roaring heft of a vintage bass amp growling with tube-like punch and ample harmonics. Two-way switches for adjusting the compressor and amp sim add four ways to tweak the Punchline’s signal order to suit different needs. And, like any proper bass channel strip sold these days, the Punchline has an XLR DI output for sending the signal to mixing desks, audio interfaces, or other devices. The Punchline by JHS is available only at Sweetwater for a limited time — enjoy the last laugh and good (bass) vibrations when you grab a JHS Punchline Bass Station here at Sweetwater!

Punchline

In 2017, Josh built his longtime friend and session / touring guitarist Mason Stoops a one-off Superbolt with a unique taco graphic. The taco icon was a reference to the jam sessions / taco nights they often attended together in LA.

The practice of giving a custom built pedal as a gift was normal in the JHS world, but something far less normal happened when Stoops plugged it in: he noticed a glitch. The internal bias trim pots had never been properly adjusted, resulting in a wildly unbiased sound that Stoops instantly adored. No longer an overdrive, and somewhere between a fuzz and a blown-out Tweed amp, the TacoBolt was the definition of a happy accident. Over the years this sound has become a staple of Stoops’s work and piqued the curiosity of his collaborators. In 2024, we have recreated this serendipitous circuit with the last remaining (now discontinued) Superbolt materials in the limited edition JHS TacoBolt.

Tacobolt

Der JHS Pedals 3 Series Screamer ist der beliebte JHS TS 'Strong Mod', aber in einem brandneuen eigenständigen Pedal. Das Pedal basiert auf der jahrelangen Erfahrung von JHS Pedals, unzähligen Modifikationen und der Arbeit mit der legendären TS-Schaltung - und dem Wunsch, diese Änderungen in einem erschwinglichen Paket anzubieten. Der Screamer bietet mehr cleanen Headroom, eine bessere Nutzbarkeit als Boost, vielseitigere Regelmöglichkeiten für Drive und Tone sowie einen 'gefälligeren' Frequenzgang als Standard TS-Style Pedale. Nach Jahren harter Arbeit ist dies vielleicht das ausgewogenste TS-Style Pedal der Welt!

The JHS Pedals 3 Series Screamer is the beloved JHS TS 'Strong Mod', but in a brand-new stand-alone pedal. This pedal represents years of JHS Pedals playing around with the legendary TS-circuit and wanting to offer those changes in an affordable package. The Screamer offers more clean headroom, a better usability as a boost, more versatile drive and tone controls as well as a more pleasing frequency response than standard TS-style pedals. After years of hard work, this might be the most well-balanced TS-style pedal on earth!

3 SERIES Screamer

Pink Floyds "Breathe", Jimi Hendrix "Star Spangled Banner live in Woodstock 1969" und Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs" zementierten den Sound eines photozellen-basierten Vibe-Effekts als E-Gitarren-Standard. Das Unicorn ist die JHS Version dieses einfallsreichen Effekts und setzt die inspirierenden Modulation / Phasing / Rotary-Sounds fort, die immer neue musikalische Grenzen sprengen. Das Unicorn macht alles mit nur vier Knöpfen und einem Mini-Toggle-Schalter. In einer Zeit, in der alles gesehen und getan wurde, bringt JHS dir den allerersten, 100% analogen Photozellen-Modulator mit Onboard Tap Tempo.

Pink Floyd’s “Breathe,” Jimi Hendrix’s live Woodstock performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” and Robin Trower’s “Bridge of Sighs” cemented the sound of a photocell-based vibe effect as an electric guitar standard. The JHS Pedals Unicorn is our version of this heralded effect, continuing the inspiring modulation/phasing/rotary sounds that never fail to push musical boundaries. And just like the originals, we included a toggle for choosing between a Uni-Vibe* effect and a traditional vibrato setting. What sets Unicorn apart from all other vibe-style circuits is that it is the first-ever fully analog, photocell-based vibe with tap tempo as well as ratio, external tap control, and external rate control via expression pedal (optional). And the Unicorn does it all with only four knobs and a mini-toggle switch. In a day and age when everything has been seen and done, we bring you the first-ever, 100% analog vibe photocell modulator with onboard tap tempo.
