■SMILEY
In 1966, Saleman Ivor Arbiter wished to reveal his own perspectives for this trendy sound when he joins the other Guitar Product Company in London, at Arbiter Electronics his company, Arbiter Electronics.
We look at the circular base of the microphone stand, and we inspired the idea of putting effects into a similar round housing that makes the face look like the two knobs and the foot switch is the nose and the brand label is mouth).
Fuzz Face was born.
That same year an American guitarist named Jimi Hendrix visited London, and Ivor designed Fuzz Face became his favourite.
You will never have to explain any further stories.
The Fuzz Face was made using germanium transistors in the early years, but in 1969, the germanium was completely replaced with silicone devices, Arbiter became followed to use silicone transistors.
Jimi Hendrix preferred the silicone version over germanium which is not stable, in addition to its sound and aggressive bites as well as the feeling of use.
JHS Pedals Smiley faithfully reproduces the amazing sound of the earliest silicone Fuzz Face.
We have selected and analyzed several vintage units from the Josh Scott collection to capture the magic of this era.
Smiley is clear and clear, with the intense sustain sustains that vintage Arbiter units require intense sustaine, elongated low end and mid-range bites beyond the boundaries of distortion pedals and burnt sustaints.
One of the most worshipped features of the good Fuzz Face is the ability to output clean sound by lowering the volume knob on the guitar body, but of course, Smiley has also reproduced this feature.
