Muffuletta (Distortion / Fuzz) In 1967 the legendary Mike Matthews started experimenting with circuits for the electric guitar, and by early 1969 he had created a circuit that has become one of the most legendary, collected and mythical pedals in the history of guitar effects. With 30+ versions made throughout its almost half a century lifetime, the Big Muff Distortion/Fuzz has personally pioneered the sounds of some of the biggest bands and musical movements in history. The Muffuletta is our tribute to the legend and story of one of the greatest pedals ever invented. Let`s take a look at what makes the Muffuletta the ultimate recreation of this circuit in a way that has never been done before.<br><br>The heart of the Muffuletta is the fact that it replicates five (yes five) classic Big Muff circuits from years gone by as well as a new and original JHS version for a total of six Muff models. All executed without any digital signal processing or digital emulation. When you choose a model, you are achieving analog tone that uses real components and values found in the original units. We have selected our favorite classic versions from the pages of history and made them available in one small format pedal that is easy to understand, operate and do what it should do replicate rare, expensive, mythical and sought after versions of this circuit with ease.<br><br>Looking at the pedal, there are four controls: Volume, Tone, Sustain and Mode. The `Volume" control works just like any other volume control allowing you to adjust the overall output of the pedal to your taste. The `Tone` control lets you brighten or darken your overall tone. The `Sustain` control is best understood as a gain or distortion control as it gives more distortion to the circuit. The `Mode` control lets you choose from our six different versions of the Big Muff on the fly. Looking at the `Mode` control you will see six icons around the lower 50% of the knob. Let`s take a look at each mode and why they made the cut to be in the ultimate Big Muff tribute.<br><br>JHS - "2015" The JHS Muff is a JHS original take on the classic circuit. You will find this version more powerful, less compressed with a more haunting mid range. It is also the best for bass guitar.<br><br>73 Rams Head - `1973-1977 V2` The 73 Rams Head gets its name for the strange little elfin looking face that appears on the lower right corner of the pedal. Over the years people nicknamed this unit based on the fact that is looks somewhat like a lamb or animal. It is best known for having a scooped mid range, less gain and being overall darker. Famous users include David Gilmour (main Pink Floyd recordings), Ernie Isley (Eisly Brothers), and J. Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.)<br><br>The Triangle - `1969-1970 V1` The Triangle Muff gets its name from the triangle arrangement of the knobs on the original unit. It is best known for having more low-end response and being more articulate. Famous users include Santana, David Gilmour`s Pete Cornish made pedal boards, John Lennon, Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine), and possibly Jimi Hendrix.<br><br>The Pi - `1977-1978 V3` The Pi Muff gets its name from the instantly recognizable red Pi symbol on the top. This is not to be confused with the later redesigned NYC version released much later in 2000. It is best known for a more aggressive sound. Famous users include Frank Zappa, Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Jack White, The Edge (U2), Beck, and Pete Townsend (The Who).<br><br>The Russian - "1999-2009 V8` The Russian Muff gets its name from the `Made in Russia` text found on the back. It is best known for having less clarity and less low end. Famous users include Dan Auerbach (Black Keys), Chris Wolstenholme (Muse), and Robin Finck (Nine Inch Nails).<br><br>The Civil War - `1991-1993 V7` The Civil War Muff gets its name from the old style Civil War era font found on the enclosure as well as the navy and grey colors found on many. It is best known for having more mid range, brighter overall tone and less gain. Famous users include Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), John Fogerty, Jeff Tweedy (Wilco), Mike Mills and Peter Buck (REM).<br><br>The Big Muff has an amazing history and has been used by some of the most influential guitarists ever. Never before has there been a single pedal that gives you all these different eras of it`s tone. We are convinced that the Muffuletta can fit in anyone`s rig who loves dirt, distortion and fuzz, and we think it will be hard for you to disagree once you plug it in and play.<br>With a pedal so stuffed with tasty tones you will have a hard time needing anything else to curb your appetite.

LTD EDITION Jimi Hendrix Monterey Stratocaster, Pau Ferro Fingerboard It`s been 50 years since Jimi Hendrix took the world by storm with his incredible Monterey Pop Festival performance, which he concluded with the sacrificial burning of his now-iconic hand-painted Stratocaster. Destroyed during the fiery culmination of his set, this one-of-a-kind guitar survived only in photos and film. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of this milestone in music history, we created the limited-edition Jimi Hendrix Monterey Stratocaster.<br><br>A trio of single-coil Stratocaster pickups give this Strat® its classic Fender sound-bell-like and articulate, it has plenty of singing sustain for soloing. The `C`-shaped maple neck bears a vintage-style 7.25`-radius maple fingerboard with 21 vintage-sized frets for a playing feel just like the original. The six-screw synchronized tremolo is perfect for unleashing dive-bombs and other sonic expression. Other period-correct touches include the vintage-style tuning machines, strap buttons, trem arm and dual-wing string trees.<br><br>An homage to Hendrix`s spectacular Strat-right down to the hand-painted nail-polish artwork that burned its way into our memories-and as a special touch we`ve added an exclusive etched Hendrix neck plate. Carrying on the same free-spirited, psychedelic vibe of the original, and indeed Hendrix himself, the Jimi Hendrix Monterey Stratocaster is sure to set your music ablaze.<br><br>Product Specs<br>-Model Name: Jimi Hendrix Monterey Stratocaster®, Pau Ferro Fingerboard<br>-Series: Artist<br>-Color: Printed Monterey Artwork<br>-Body: Alder<br>-Body Finish: Gloss Polyurethane<br>-Body Shape: Stratocaster®<br>-Neck Material: Maple<br>-Neck Finish: Gloss Polyurethane<br>-Neck Shape: "C" Shape<br>-Scale Length: 25.5" (648 mm)<br>-Fingerboard: Pau Ferro<br>-Fingerboard Radius: 7.25" (184.1 mm)<br>-Number of Frets: 21<br>-Frets Size: Vintage<br>-String Nut: Synthetic Bone<br>-Nut Width: 1.650" (42 mm)<br>-Position Inlays: White Dots<br>-Truss Rods: Standard<br>-Bridge Pickup: Vintage-Style Single-Coil Strat<br>-Middle Pickup: Vintage-Style Single-Coil Strat<br>-Neck Pickup: Vintage-Style Single-Coil Strat<br>-Controls: Master Volume, Tone 1.
