Every boutique JHS pedal is made and tested by a highly skilled pedal builder to ensure that every JHS pedal is crafted to perfection. Controls Volume: Controls the output volume. Left is less volume right is more. Sustain: Controls the amount of fuzz which increases the sustain when turned up just like the vintage units. Tone: The tone on the Muffuletta is its own animal. Left is darker and more “muffy”. Right is brighter with a pleasing shrillness. You will also find that the tone sweep changes the character of the pedal in ways that normal tone knobs do not. Version Selector: This knob selects which of the 6 versions you want to play. Fuzz Modes 1. JHS 2015 The JHS Muff is a JHS original take on the classic circuit.
