fuzz - 1969 BOSS TONE REPLICA

In the mid-'60s, the world's first nuclear company, Victoreen Instruments, launched Jordan Electronics. Though they started out manufacturing transistorized guitar amps, they released the first commercially successful U.S. based plug-in effect at the 1966 NAMM Show: the Boss Tone. At the time, fuzz was still a new frontier for most guitarists, but nothing else on the market looked or sounded quite like the Boss Tone (a true testament to the ingenuity of Jordan Electronics' owner, George Cole, and head engineer, Bob Garcia). The original unit is a small 1¾ by 2¼ inch molded plastic box that plugs directly into the guitar's output jack. Unfortunately, plug-in effects never quite captured the practicality of a good old-fashioned stompbox, so we've created a floor-based pedal that features the same unique tone.

LEGENDS OF FUZZ
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-60s London scene to the 1990s 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.
