This was my first distortion pedal. It made me sound like a real rock star!

At first use, I wasn't liking this pedal because I was getting a lot of loud hiss through my amp. I don't use a wall wart with daisy chains to connect all my pedals but rather use power bricks with individual 9V/500mA hook ups. I changed the power supply to one of my better bricks and the hiss immediately went away and the Fuzz Pedal's sound was simply amazing. When a new pedal doesn't work like expected, you have to do a little trouble shooting to find where the issue is coming from. Once you isolate the issue and fix it, its all good going forward. This is a great sounding pedal and I couldn't recommend it more. I really like the Fuzz it produces and JHS really nailed the sound from 1973.

Longtemps très fuzz face jai voulu essayer avec ce modèle les Fuzz "Bender style" j'adore! Elle est ma fuzz préférée a ce jour et pourtant jai quelques fuzz face de qualités qui sont excellentes mais sans ce truc un peu plus velouté.

Muy ruidoso en el mal sentido es decir: mucho "hiss", controles incómodos y la batería de 9v no entra, todos esos son errores de fabricación que no debería tener un pedal tan caro.

I've been looking for a pedal that sounded like this (that doesn't cost $2k) for a while. The Sun Bender from Analog Man was another option, but I wanted something that got really close to the sound of the original with the stability that germanium can't offer.Many other gain pedals are touted as being versatile, this is the first one I've had that I really noticed the touch sensitivity shine. I can play a smooth jazzy run then switch up, play some heavy fuzz rock lines, and slide right back into a more relaxed tone. All without touching any knobs at all. The pedal stays crisp and clear the whole time, giving me a sense of control and something I can only describe as being "finite". This pedal doesn't change the tone of your guitar, and it won't hide mistakes.The team at JHS has done a great job, I'd highly recommend this pedal.
