Jhs Pedals Muffuletta Army Green

A Tribute Pedal to One of the Most Influential Fuzzes in History

The JHS Muffuletta stands as a love letter to the Big Muff lineage: an essential effect when talking about infinite sustain, guitar walls, and fuzz that "sings." Rather than offering a simple variation, JHS brings together several iconic circuits covering different periods, each with its own signature: darker or more aggressive, scooped mids or more present, more articulate or rawer. The result is a unique pedal that allows you to compare legendary voicings at equal volume, without changing pedals or relearning a new set of controls.

For Whom, Which Styles, and In What Contexts?

The Muffuletta is aimed at musicians who love "large format" fuzz: massive riffs, thick leads, shoegaze layers, stoner/doom, alternative rock, grunge, indie, and even some blues-rock settings when dialing the Sustain and adjusting the Tone. In the studio, it saves valuable time finding the texture that fits into the mix. Live, it replaces multiple pedals while maintaining a compact format, ideal if you want to switch from a dark fuzz to a more biting fuzz with a simple gesture.

Bassists will also find it useful, especially with the JHS 2015 mode (more mids, less compression), practical for staying clear in a dense band mix. On guitar, it excels both with already driven amps and clean tones, sculpting a grain ranging from saturated velvet to a more abrasive attack.

6 Modes, Familiar Ergonomics, and Instant Selection

The philosophy is clear: keep direct access to the sound. You get the three essential Muff controls: Volume for output level, Sustain for fuzz amount and note length, and Tone to sweep from dark and "muffy" to a sharper treble. The 6-position selector lets you choose the era/circuit, with no menus or presets: it's immediate, clear, and perfectly suited for pedalboard use.

Each mode has its own identity to cover a wide range of musical needs:

JHS 2015 : more powerful, less compressed, more mids, excellent for bass.
73 Rams Head 1973-1977 V2 : scooped mids, less gain, darker.
Triangle 1969-1970 V1 : more bass, more articulate.
Pi 1977-1978 V3 : more aggressive (not to be confused with some later reissues).
Russian 1999-2009 V8 : less clarity and bass, very "garage" roughness.
Civil War 1991-1993 V7 : more mids, brighter, less gain.

The Sound

The Muffuletta is above all a pedal of character : heavy saturation, long sustain, thick texture, and that very particular way of turning a simple chord into a sonic block. Depending on the mode, you can go from a more articulate and spacious fuzz (Triangle) to a darker and scooped fuzz (Rams Head), up to a more biting and aggressive tone (Pi). The Civil War mode adds a very useful mid presence to stand out in a mix, while the Russian favors a rawer, grittier aesthetic.

In terms of references, the Big Muff spirit is inseparable from many rock aesthetics, from singing leads to "wall of sound" rhythms. The Muffuletta gives you precisely this palette, with the ability to adjust the clarity/thickness balance via the Tone and control saturation density dynamically through playing with the Sustain.
