JHS Legends of Fuzz Smiley Fuzz Pedal

From the JHS Legends of Fuzz series of vintage-inspired fuzz pedals, the Smiley is a spot-on re-creation of a classic silicon fuzz pedal that is inextricably linked to the incendiary guitar tones of Jimi Hendrix. Josh Scott and the team at JHS pored over Josh’s personal collection of wide-smiling fuzz boxes to create Smiley, calling up the blistering sustain and formidable crunch heard on Jimi’s records as well as on countless other tracks from the likes of David Gilmour, Eric Clapton, Eric Johnson, and Jack White. Commanding lead tones and hearty rhythmic crunch A minimalist fuzz box, the Smiley has only two knobs — Volume and Fuzz — but it’s packed with a face full of tone. Its distinctive midrange attack and weighty low end lend gravity to lead lines, and when you roll back your guitar’s volume knob, it has a clean crunch that's perfect for rhythm playing. The Smiley also has a new trick: the JHS Mode button blasts the Smiley into high gain and grinds out gnarly gated-fuzz effects.
