JHS Ross Fuzz

JHS Ross Fuzz

Introducing the new era of ROSS pedals, the result of tireless research and design efforts. This pedal embodies the captivating story, rich legacy, and iconic sound that made the original ROSS brand a timeless favorite among guitarists and collectors worldwide. With five classic ROSS circuits, this series caters to every player's preferences. Each pedal is meticulously crafted at the JHS Pedals facility in Kansas City, MO, maintaining the same high-quality standards that you've come to expect.

These pedals feature notable improvements compared to vintage units, including soft-touch bypass, reduced noise, and a mode switch with two settings for enhanced versatility.

Among the series, the ROSS Fuzz stands out as a unique addition. Although not part of the previous ROSS history, its circuit was inspired by the Kustom amplifiers created during Bud Ross's Kustom Electronics era. John Fogerty famously employed the Kustom amp's distortion for his hit songs like "Run Through the Jungle" and "Fortunate Son." Similarly, other renowned artists such as the Grateful Dead, Leon Russell, Johnny Cash, The Jackson Five, Carl Perkins, the Carpenters, and Charley Pride relied on these amps to achieve their signature sounds. The ROSS Fuzz pays tribute to this transistorized Kustom distortion effect, offering an unconventional fuzz that departs from classic topologies like the Fuzz Face, Tone Bender, or Big Muff. It reveals a hidden moment in distortion history, enabling you to infuse your modern rig with a vintage tone.

CONTROLS

“Level” controls the volume (right is louder, left is quieter). “Fuzz” controls the amount of fuzz/distortion in the circuit (left is less, right is more). The side push switch toggles between two modes: Standard and More (More adds bass/gain and results in a more full, heavy fuzz/distortion tone). The footswitch activates the pedal via soft touch bypass switching and the status LED indicates that the circuit is active.

JACKS

The ¼” input and output jacks connect your guitar and amplifier. The power jack accepts standard 9V DC Negative Center power and consumes 46mA.
