From the JHS Legends of Fuzz series of vintage-inspired fuzz pedals, the Supreme octave fuzz pedal is a loving tribute to the Univox Super-Fuzz, one of the most idiosyncratic fuzz boxes of the 1960s and '70s. Propelled into the spotlight by the Who’s Pete Townshend, the Univox Super-Fuzz became a staple tone heard on numerous classic tracks, which has found favor with contemporary groups like the Black Keys and the White Stripes. Based on JHS Founder Josh Scott’s extremely rare 1972 black and gray unit, the Supreme layers in a high octave above the distorted signal that slices through the air like a samurai sword. Not for the faint of heart, the Supreme is as gnarly as a fuzz box gets, overflowing with an aggressiveness that makes it perfect for blistering lead work. When they want to melt the face of every listener in the room, guitarists smash on an octave fuzz. And, the JHS Supreme is one of the most brutal specimens we’ve ever heard — it’s a must-have for guitarists who like their music loud and unforgiving.
