Der Whitey Tighty Compressor ist JHS Pedals Version des klassischen Effekts, den man angeschaltet nicht hört, dafür aber schmerzlich vermisst, wenn er ausgeschaltet ist. Der Whitey Tighty ist so simpel gehalten, dass er deinem Setup und deinem Sound nie im Weg steht, durch das kompakte Mini-Format lässt er sich außerdem problemlos in jedes Pedalboard integrieren. Durch die Möglichkeit Kompression und Clean Signal stufenlos zu mischen hat jeder die Chance seinen perfekten Sound zu finden. Das Pedal arbeitet mit drei intuitiven Regelmöglichkeiten für Volume, Compression und Blend. Mit dem Volume-Regler lässt sich das Level auf Unity Gain einstellen oder leicht boosten, um den wahrgenommenen Verlust durch die Kompression auszugleichen. Der Compression-Regler regelt die Stärke der Kompression von einer subtilen 'Glättung' des Signals bis zu einem ansprechenden Squash, der sich perfekt für Country, Blues, Pop und Rock eignet. Über den Blend-Regler kann man das Verhältnis aus Clean Signal und komprimiertem Signal einzustellen. Auf diese Weise erhält man den natürlichen Klang des Instruments und erhält gleichzeitig eine Kompression in Studioqualität, die deinen Sound auf die nächste Stufe hebt.

The Whitey Tighty compressor is JHS Pedals take on the classic effect that no one may ever know is on, but when it's off you feel like your pants are down. The Whitey Tighty is as simple as it gets while never getting in the way. In a compact mini pedal, you'll save so much space on your pedal board that you'll be able to add to your wardrobe of effects with ease. And with the ability to blend in compression and clean signal, you'll be able to dial in the perfect sound that keeps everything in place. The Whitey Tighty is a FET compressor that has three simple controls: Volume, Compression, and Blend. The Volume control gives you the ability to set your volume at unity gain or slightly boosted to make up for any perceived loss from the compression. The Compression knob controls the amount of compression for everything from a subtle smoothing of your tone to a pleasing squash that’s perfect for country, blues, pop, and rock. Use the Blend knob to dial in the right amount of clean tone along with your compressed signal. This allows you to retain some of the natural feel of your clean tone while giving you the studio-quality compression that brings your sound to the next level. Tighten up your tone with the JHS Pedals Whitey Tighty!

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.

The Fuzz Face was released in 1966 by Dallas Electronics Ltd. and is one of the most iconic fuzz pedals ever made. This British fuzz is recognized instantly by its "Smiley Face" enclosure that was developed after Mr. Arbiter used the circular base of a microphone stand as inspiration. It is one of the first things we think of when we hear "fuzz pedal" because it lived at the feet of the great Jimi Hendrix. The Fuzz Face was released just a few months after the Sola Sound "Tonebender" 1.5 hit the market, and upon investigation, it is an almost identical circuit. The original Fuzz Face manual even said that it was a "battery-powered TONE-BENDING unit," clearly showing its inspiration. Though the circuit is much like the Tonebender MK1.5, the tone is very different. It possesses a very full and thick fuzz sound with roaring low-end frequencies. I can't help but think of how this made the three-piece Jimi Hendrix Experience sound larger than life. The most amazing feature of this fuzz is its ability to change into something magical as you roll your guitar volume down. Many of Hendrix, as well as players like Eric Johnson's clean tones, are in fact, the Fuzz Face with the fuzz control maxed, but the guitar volume turned way down. This setting results in an unreal and almost mythical light overdrive that you have to feel and hear to understand. 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 two germanium transistors that I hand-matched to the circuit.

Each small batch of Fuzzes 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 standard polarity power cable like your other pedals as I have wired it internally to work that way. The Fuzz is identical to the original except that I adjusted the taper of the pots to feel more intuitive. I also added a single power supply filter capacitor to help with noise and adjusted one resistor value for more volume. 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.
