JHS Pedals Legends Of Fuzz Berkeley | Distortion/Fuzz
1973 California: Fresh Fuzz Replica
The "Legends Of Fuzz'' series is a collection of the world's most historic, rare, and sought after circuits.
At JHS, fuzz pedals have been in our lineup for over a decade. We have designed original circuits, replicated classics, and we have seen the trend of fuzz popularity come and go. The "Legends Of Fuzz'' series is our tribute to the most important fuzz circuits ever made. It is our way of ensuring that the stories of these effects live on in the music that you are going to make. From the earliest days of fuzz in the mid-60's London scene to the 1990's ex-Soviet military factories that brought the Big Muff back to life, fuzz tells a story, and that story includes guitarists just like you. There is nothing more primitive than plugging your guitar into a vintage fuzz circuit; it is raw, untamed, and so pure that it pushes the boundaries of what your instrument can accomplish. Plug into a fuzz and plug into sixty years of beautifully broken sound.

Discover the timeless magic of the iconic Fresh Fuzz pedal, meticulously recreated by JHS with the Berkeley. Transport yourself back to the year 1973 when the music world was forever changed by the release of the original Fresh Fuzz. This legendary fuzz pedal, featuring a single op amp, was an instant hit despite its initial hurdles.
When the Fresh Fuzz first hit the scene, it encountered a small setback with its plastic Bakelite enclosure design. Guitarists, in their sheer enthusiasm, would stomp on these pedals with such vigor that they would shatter under the pressure. Seamoon Inc. swiftly rectified this issue by recasing the Fresh Fuzz in sturdy metal enclosures, ensuring its longevity and durability for the years to come.
While some early reviews claimed that the Fresh Fuzz sounded "thin," it quickly garnered a dedicated following and became an indispensable tool for numerous guitarists. Renowned artists such as Tom Scholz from Boston and the virtuoso Eric Johnson embraced the Fresh Fuzz, harnessing its unique tonal characteristics and infusing their music with its distinctive sound.
Now, the JHS Berkeley pays homage to this rare gem from the past with their faithful recreation of the single op amp 741 version (Version 1) of the Fresh Fuzz. Every detail has been painstakingly reproduced to capture the essence of the original, from the meticulously selected components to the iconic circuitry. The JHS Berkeley offers you the opportunity to experience the raw power and rich harmonics that have inspired generations of musicians.
Whether you're a vintage tone enthusiast, a devoted collector, or simply a guitarist searching for that elusive fuzz tone that defines your sound, the JHS Berkeley is a must-have addition to your pedalboard. Immerse yourself in the history of effects pedals, unleash your creativity, and embrace the spirit of the Fresh Fuzz. Don't miss out on this chance to own a replica of music history and join the ranks of legendary guitarists who have shaped the landscape of rock and blues with the unmistakable sound of the Fresh Fuzz.
