Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The JHS Coyote is a boutique octave fuzz pedal from JHS Pedals combining classic upper-octave fuzz character with aggressive distortion in a compact format. It produces a thick, harmonically saturated fuzz with pronounced upper-octave shimmer, most effective when played in the higher fret positions with single-coil guitars. The upper-octave effect is analog, adding a pitch-doubling shimmer to sustained notes that suits psychedelic rock, experimental, and classic rock contexts where extreme fuzz textures are desired. JHS designed the Coyote as an expressive fuzz for players who want dramatic upper-register color and heavy sustain without digital processing. The circuit responds to guitar volume and pickup selection, allowing some cleanup by reducing guitar output, though the fuzz character remains predominant across most settings.
The Suhr Thornicus is a dual-channel fuzz designed with Big Wreck's Ian Thornley, combining an independent standard fuzz side and an octave fuzz side, each with its own Sustain, Level, Tone and Mids controls. The classic fuzz channel delivers thick, saturated sustain with a warm, velvety breakup that turns single notes into a rich wall of harmonic texture, and the dedicated Mids control lets it be scooped for a hollow vintage voice or pushed forward to cut through a band. The octave side stacks a searing upper octave over the fuzz for ring-modulated, vocal lead tones. Thornley describes the feel as unusually dynamic and responsive, with pick attack strongly shaping the tonal response. MIDI integration allows instant channel switching, and the pedal is assembled in the USA to withstand touring.
