From the JHS Legends of Fuzz series of vintage-inspired fuzz pedals, the JHS Crimson is a stunningly accurate re-creation of a sought-after Russian-made fuzz box from the early '90s. Based on a version from JHS founder Josh Scott’s personal collection, the Crimson produces the creamy sustaining fuzz tones that became a hallmark of grunge and art rock musicians, including Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., and Wilco, and was even favored by Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour, a renowned connoisseur of fuzz. Warm and clear and never muddy, the Crimson imbues lead lines with a sonorous string-like sustain and wraps chords in a wooly blanket of crunch. Guitarists were clamoring for a faithful rendition of the post-Soviet classic, so we were more than excited when JHS dropped this sweet fuzz machine on our doorstep. We’re happy to report it fully lives up to its legendary status and is certain to be one of your favorite fuzz pedals!
