Quick Specifications
Pedal Type: Vintage-Style Two-Transistor Fuzz
Controls: Volume, Bias, Fuzz, Fat Toggle
Bypass Layout: High-grade True Bypass Switching
Power Requirements: 9VDC Negative Center Only (Do Not Exceed)
Current Draw: 9 mA
Dimensions: 4.42” × 2.38” × 1.22” (112 mm x 60 mm x 31 mm)
The JHS 3 Series Fuzz balances vintage 1960s-style circuit character with modern performance stability. Built around an incredibly versatile two-transistor core architecture, the Fuzz knob remains highly responsive and usable across 100% of its physical sweep. Lower settings yield smooth, pushed-amplifier overdrive and crunchy classic-rock distortion tones, while cranking the dial unleashes a massive wall of soaring, harmonically rich sustain. The circuit tracks your playing dynamics seamlessly and cleans up beautifully with your guitar’s master volume knob.
The definitive feature of this stompbox is the active Bias control, which acts as a variable voltage command directly tied to the circuit's second gain stage. Turning the Bias knob counterclockwise allows for a wide-open, traditional fuzz presence; turning it clockwise starves the transistor of voltage, transforming your output into a sputtery, bit-crushed "velcro" gate. This makes it effortless to capture the iconic "dying battery" textures favored in alternative and garage rock genres. For musicians seeking maximum low-end weight, engaging the Fat toggle switch activates an aggressive bass boost to add thick, punchy authority to single-coil pickups.
Housed inside the standard, minimalist all-white 3 Series metal chassis, this compact enclosure keeps your pedalboard layout highly organized. Because it features standard 1/4-inch side jacks, a heavy-duty mechanical bypass switch, and a low-profile status LED, your instrument’s baseline tone stays completely transparent when the effect is disengaged. The purely analog audio pathway runs on industry-standard 9VDC negative center power and pulls an exceptionally lean 9 mA current draw. This incredibly low power draw makes it highly friendly on multi-output power blocks or basic daisy chains. Do not run this pedal at higher voltages, as doing so will cause internal component damage and void the factory warranty.
