JHS Crimson Fuzz Pedal
Fuzz Effects Pedal with Volume, Tone, and Distort Controls and Mid-boost
Faithful Rendition of a Post-Soviet Classic
From the JHS Legends of Fuzz series of vintage-inspired fuzz pedals, the JHS Crimson is a stunningly accurate re-creation of a sought-after Russian-made fuzz box from the early '90s. Based on a version from JHS founder Josh Scott’s personal collection, the Crimson produces the creamy sustaining fuzz tones that became a hallmark of grunge and art rock musicians, including Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., and Wilco, and was even favored by Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour, a renowned connoisseur of fuzz. Warm and clear and never muddy, the Crimson imbues lead lines with a sonorous string-like sustain and wraps chords in a wooly blanket of crunch. Guitarists at Sweetwater were clamoring for a faithful rendition of the post-Soviet classic, so we were more than excited when JHS dropped this sweet fuzz machine on our doorstep. We’re happy to report it fully lives up to its legendary status and is certain to be one of your favorite fuzz pedals!
Flexible, 3-knob fuzz monster
Like its predecessor, the Crimson has straightforward controls — Volume, Tone, and Distort — that offer up a surprising amount of sonic flexibility, from creamy dark tones to cutting bright tones, and the ability to add a touch of fuzz or pile it on for blistering aggression. The Crimson also has a new trick — a JHS Mode button, which boosts the mids for extra howl. Like all the Legends of Fuzz pedals, the Crimson is housed in a stunning custom wedge-shaped bent-metal enclosure with throwback knobs and full-metal badge plates — an old-school look to match its old-school tone.
The JHS Legends of Fuzz Series
According to JHS founder Josh Scott, the invention of fuzz pedals was one of the most significant events in the history of the electric guitar and popular music. JHS has been creating innovative fuzz boxes for over a decade, but this time around, they’ve chosen to pay tribute to the great fuzz boxes of the past. The JHS Legends of Fuzz series features period-accurate re-creations of some of the most famous fuzz circuit designs of all time, with a few JHS-exclusive twists. As these original fuzz pedals have become increasingly rare, prices of working units on the collectors’ market have skyrocketed, making them inaccessible to most players. Now, with JHS’s Legend of Fuzz pedals, players from all walks of life will be able to enjoy these storied tone machines and experience the magic of some of the finest fuzz boxes ever produced.
