The JHS Muffuletta is a six-in-one Big Muff style fuzz that houses faithful recreations of five classic Muff circuits plus an original JHS voicing, selectable with a rotary switch and sharing Volume, Tone, and Sustain controls. Its modes cover the 1973 Ram's Head, dark with less gain and beloved of David Gilmour and J Mascis, the aggressive Triangle with a rougher edge and harsher attack, the classic Pi, the brighter, more midrange-forward Civil War with less gain, the Russian with less clarity and low end for a garage sound, and the JHS Original, a more powerful, less compressed take with a haunting midrange. This makes it a definitive Big Muff reference, letting players compare and use the major Muff variants from one box. It suits psychedelic, stoner, doom, shoegaze, grunge, and lead-focused players wanting thick, creamy, sustaining fuzz with the flavor of multiple eras.
