JAM PEDALS
FUZZ PHRASE SI
The company have always produced well made great sounding pedals.
They did tend to be pricey but as other bumped their prices Jam did
not. They now are very competitive.
This Fuzz is loosely based on a silicon Fuzz Face. The transistors used
are the silicon BC107's. The goal was to give the pedal a warm sound
that passes to many as a germanium Fuzz. It does and it
makes the pedal hassle free. The layout is simply Level and Gain.
CONCLUSION ___The pedal is very touch sensitive to both your dynamics
and to using your guitars Volume and Tone for noticeably
new tones including some spit and sputter. It is not
aimed at the Fuzz aficionado but for the plug and play
guy that can some of the little extras without
any serious learning curve.
the fine printAlthough less into subtle goodness and more of an in yourface approach is the Joyo JF-26 Tiny-Huge Fuzz _Fuzz Face.$40.00 USD ...it does NOT disappoint.
How does it compare with the Fulltone 70?
ReplyDeleteThe Fulltone 70 uses BC108 transistors which are brighter and more aggressive and it has a mid boost. The steel casing is a nice extra. The price is $50 cheaper. The down side is it is not a set and forget Fuzz. It is a tear your face off hold the reigns Fuzz. You must constantly control your guitars volume and be careful with the gain and level or it can easily disintegrate in to chaotic noise with ice pick squealing and your whole sound a total hash.
