JHS Pedals Coyote Fuzz - Nearly New Overview
The JHS Pedals Coyote Fuzz is a one-of-a-kind octave fuzz that doesn't follow the usual script. Rather than borrowing from the classic Octavia, Super Fuzz, or Tone Machine family tree, it recreates the obscure Moonrock Fuzz by Glenn S. Wyllie - a rare, experimental design built around an unconventional transformer setup. The result is a sound that moves from strange, blooming textures to thick fuzz and snarling octave-up tones, all from a single control, with a feel and response that stands apart from the usual vintage-inspired fuzz crowd.
That simple Swell / Fuzz / Octave knob is what makes the Coyote so addictive. Turn it down for a gated, reverse-style bloom, park it around noon for a rich, chord-friendly fuzz, or crank it for aggressive octave-up bite. It also cleans up brilliantly with your guitar's volume control, which is unusual for any fuzz and especially rare in an octave fuzz. Run it first in your chain and into a driven amp or overdrive, and you've got a pedal that's expressive, weird, and packed with character for psychedelic riffs, garage rock, blues leads, and full-on experimental noise.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionA rare circuit brought back
Most octave fuzz pedals can be traced back to a few familiar designs, but the Coyote takes a very different route. It's based on the hard-to-find Moonrock Fuzz by Glenn S. Wyllie, whose original design used a transformer in an unusual way. That unconventional approach shapes the pedal's response and gives it a feel that stands apart from the usual suspects. JHS has recreated that elusive circuit for production, giving players access to a genuinely unusual fuzz voice without the vintage chase.
One knob, loads of range
The Coyote keeps things simple on the surface, but there's a lot going on under that single sweep control. The Swell / Fuzz / Octave knob moves through three distinct voices instead of just adding more gain. At lower settings, notes bloom in with a gated, almost reverse-tape feel. Around the middle, it settles into a thick, assertive fuzz. Wind it up and the pedal leans into snarling octave-up tones. The transitions are continuous too, so you're not boxed into three fixed sounds.
Touch-sensitive and expressive
For a pedal that can get this wild, the Coyote is impressively responsive. Back off your guitar's volume and it cleans up far better than you'd expect, especially for an octave fuzz. Lighter picking can bring out warm, controlled fuzz tones, while digging in adds more bite and brings the swell effect to life. That dynamic behaviour makes it more than a one-sound novelty. It reacts to your hands, your pickup choice, and where you play on the neck, so it feels expressive rather than stubborn.
Built for classic and strange tones
The Coyote works best first in your signal chain, feeding an overdrive or a pushed amp for the kind of octave fuzz sound heard on loads of classic recordings. Play on the neck pickup and head above the twelfth fret to really bring out the octave character, or use the middle of the control for heavier fuzz textures. From Hendrix-inspired leads to garage rock, blues, shoegaze, and psychedelic parts, this pedal covers a lot of ground while still sounding like its own thing.
