A Legendary Sound Which Helped Shape a Generation

The Fuzz Phrase delivers a vintage sounding germanium fuzz effect, a sound which helped shape a generation of musicians. To achieve this vintage sound, the engineers at JAM Pedals used extremely rare CV7003, military-spec OC44 germanium transistors, which are then measured for gain and leakage and then hand-picked and matched through sound audition to achieve to best tone possible. Germanium transistors are known to be extremely consistent and heat resistant, ensuring the tone runs at optimum capacity for as long as possible. Carbon comp resistors provide the pedal with its true vintage feel, and a range of controls let you find the pedal's sweet spot with your paying style.

JAM Pedals

JAM Pedals are a manufacturer of boutique analogue guitar and bass pedals from Greece. Each pedal is built by hand, made from the highest materials on the market along with rare NOS chips, specially selected matched NOS transistors, and Carbon comp resistors. The pedals are also given hand-painted finishes for a visually stunning aesthetic, and true-bypass switching to ensure the pedal won’t affect your tone when not in use.

JAM Pedals’ Note on Powering the Fuzz Phrase

Using a battery (recommended): It is best to use a carbon zinc 9v battery (not alkaline or lithium) as it loses its power gradually making the pedal sound warmer and fuzzier! If you want to have your pedal mounted on a pedal board and keep it plugged in at all times without draining the battery’s life, you can use the small DC plug provided on the power jack, every time you’re not playing.

9v Boss-type power supply (tip negative): *Caution : this circuit uses positive ground. Therefore you cannot connect this pedal to any type of chained power supply linked with other common DC-powered pedals, unless the power supply unit features separate isolated DC outputs, into which you can plug the pedal.

The 3rd option is to use a 9v chained power supply (eg 1spot), but you will need the “Diago” isolator adaptor.
