JHS Pedals Smiley Legends Of Fuzz Overview
A legendary tone. The JHS Pedals Legends Of Fuzz Smiley presents a sensational recreation of the esteemed 1969 Arbiter Fuzz Face, made famous by Jimi Hendrix. All the original circuitry, constructed into a stunning housing that's built for the modern stage. It's a silicon fuzz. Meaning you'll experience that searing sustain and aggressive low-end and midrange attack with each note you play. It's this distinctively fat low-end quality that gave the '69 model its gigantic status. And now you can inject it straight into your performance.
But, with a remodelled design comes fresh features. Including a custom-made JHS 'Mode' switch, which engages a much higher gain sound, reaching into gated fuzz territory and providing more power in your playing. Another unique feature of the original Fuzz Face includes its famed ability to clean up as you roll back the volume, which the Smiley performs effortlessly. Topped off with the traditional 'Volume' and 'Fuzz' controls, the Smiley is simply a must-have for lovers of Hendrix, White Stripes, and Eric Clapton. There's a reason it sits in the fuzz hall of fame...

A sound that defined decades of rock 'n' roll.

Not to mention its unbeatable sustain and ability to clean up with ease, making this one of the most practical fuzz pedals even to this day. Whether you're performing screeching solos or fatter, low-end riffs - the Smiley ensures your tone packs a punch like no other.

The 'Mode' switch engages a custom-made boost by JHS themselves, sending your tone into a gated fuzz with more gain than you could possibly imagine. This is ideal for kicking out complete chaos into your solos, for a more aggressive attack and fatter overall sound. You wouldn't find this versatility even on the original/
