Bass fuzz has to be the sweetest thing ever. There is nothing like a tight bass line with fuzz driving it home. Our 4 Wheeler V2 will give you the ability to do everything from 60’s jam band to modern electronic fuzz. With Volume, Tone, Fuzz and a specially tuned Gate control, the ability to tweak away is at your fingertips. There is enough volume/headroom to shake any stage as well as drive your amp as hard as you would ever need. The tone and fuzz controls are super flexible with usable sweeps all the way around while the gate control can give you those much desired synth break-offs or just the right amount of jab for that perfect riff. The "deep" switch lets you go from a deeper more low end focused range of tones to the normal V1 settings.
Bass players are raving about it and guitar players even seem to love what it does to their tone so this may be the fuzz to fit the bill...
Ok all you Bass Players, I haven't forgotten about you. There seems to be a hole in the marketplace for effects for the bass players, just like at one time there wasn't much available for left hand players. Hence I created the "Bass Bully."
What began this whole madness was when we noticed in one of the top studios in Los Angeles a Bass rig they had installed in a Lunch Box. After some inquiry, it turned out to be an old German Bass circuitry that they used for both Direct Recording and Boost and Fuzz. I traced the origin of that bass and formulated a way to put it into a pedal without changing the circuitry. So it is a global system which means that your bass instrument both Volume and Tone need to be turned all the way up, then you control Volume and Tone only from the pedal.
And yes you may hear a little scratching in the pots but it is irrelevant since you don't usually change the amount of fuzz while you are playing. That is true to the original design and identical transistors create that unbelievable fuzz sound.
To begin with, it has an EQ circuit built in the pedal which I feel is superior to the circuit included in most basic basses. Most basic basses have a capacitor to ground for tone control. This EQ is based on a blend of capacitance, and that alone is worth the cost of admission.
The first position on the pedal is a Boost Feature. It does just that, boosts your signal and somehow adds a GLOW to your sound. This circuit is based on an INDUCTOR circuit like the wah pedals have. It is very cool. ( also worth the cost of admission )
The 2nd position on the pedal is a simple Fuzz. It is incredibly smooth and actually amazing since most of you know how difficult is is to fuzz a bass signal. Bass players have been forced to use guitar pedals up to now until the "BASS BULLY" arrived.
3rd position is like using 2 pedals in one. One is the Bass Boost, the other the Bass Fuzz. They are wired in series so the signal will go through the boost before getting to the fuzz so you can blend the two. Why you ask add a boost and a fuzz, well if you want that totally over the top, Farty 60's Sly and the Family Stone sound, there it is... You will have tons of fun with this pedal and it is beyond belief in the studio...
In 1961 a British engineer would start a company from a spare room in his England home that would permanently change the history of the Pro Audio industry. This company set a trajectory for musical tones that spanned across genres and impacted every generation that followed. We are talking about the infamous piece of gear known as the Neve* recording console. From "Love Me Do" by The Beatles to the famous sounds of Led Zeppelin, U2, Spoon, Pink Floyd, Motown, Quincy Jones, Nirvana, Steely Dan, Neil Young, Tears For Fears, and Tom Petty (the list is endless), The Colour Box is our tribute to the legend and application of how a piece of gear can change music.
Have you ever heard songs like the Beatles "Revolution", or Motown classics like Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye, or even the modern Radiohead's "Bodysnatchers" and thought, "How are they getting that guitar sound?" Well, the answer is sort of clothed in obscurity, but it's actually created by the simplest practical application......plugging a guitar directly into a vintage studio console and recording "direct in." The JHS Pedals Colour Box is designed and created to allow you to recreate these infamous guitar tones with your live rig, or in a studio environment by using 100% analog circuitry true to the design and schematic of vintage Neve* circuitry. The Colour Box is completely free from any digital modeling. Never before have "direct in" tones been available from your guitar amp in the way that the Colour Box delivers them. Aside from creating these "direct in" tones, the Colour Box covers all the ground that you would expect a high quality studio preamp to cover. From your microphone, bass, keyboard, or even your acoustic guitar, it does it all.
Due to the popularity of our Pulp N Peel guitar compressor and a demand for a truly transparent and useful bass compressor, we bring you the “Lime Aid”. Dynamics, punch and clarity are a few of the things that this unit will bring to your tone. One of the main advantages of the compressor is the low end response and the ability to keep untouched, clean signal along side your compressed tone. Many players will see this as an enhancement more than a typical compressor. Others will see it as a boost that can drive your amp with a soft touch. However you use it, you will most likely never want to turn it off.
This pedal requires standard 9V DC Negative power and measures 2.2"x4.3"x1.5"
The Beta is designed to give you everything from mild Motown thump to a punchy, full-range push in a compact, easy to dial package. The Beta’s specially tuned JFET preamp and subtle germanium clipping offer a wide range of musical drive that is very tube like in its sonic characteristics. Although it can be subtle enough to be used as an always-on tone shaper, the Beta is by no means bland. With its tailored EQ and distinct gain structure, the Beta has just the right amount of attitude to cut without being overly assertive or fizzy. It is a great tool to add warmth to modern rigs or more edge to vintage setups. If you are looking for a great bass overdrive that is versatile without being vanilla, the Beta is for you.
