JAM Pedals is causing a stir once again with the launch of its latest nugget: the Fuzz Phrase Si. This new addition to the range promises to meet the expectations of even the most demanding fuzz enthusiasts, while offering a captivating evolution on its germanium-based predecessor.
The Fuzz Phrase Si builds on its germanium predecessor, capturing the essence of the rich harmonic profile and dynamic response of the Fuzz Phrase Ltd. However, it goes far beyond this, offering a distinctive tone, characterized by a perfect balance of sought-after tones, extended sustain across the full range of the sound spectrum, and a clean-up capability rivaling the most prestigious vintage fuzz circuits.
After careful testing of various silicon transistors, BC107s emerged as the indisputable choice for JAM Pedals. These transistors, known for their burning, intense, piercing character and enhanced stability, have been integrated into a finely-tuned circuit, preserving the Fuzz Phrase heritage while delivering an optimized sound experience.
In terms of controls, the Fuzz Phrase Si offers exceptional flexibility for sculpting your sound. The level potentiometer allows precise adjustment of output volume, while the gain control opens the door to a sonic palette ranging from the subtlest nuances to the most intense textures. What’s more, an internal trimmer, specially optimized for BC107 transistors, lets you fine-tune every sonic detail, guaranteeing absolute fidelity.
The Fuzz Phrase Si represents a masterful evolution of JAM Pedals’ legendary germanium pedal. With its carefully selected BC107 transistors, it offers a dense sound, pronounced sustain and exceptional clarity, making it an essential choice for musicians seeking reliability and precision in their sound.
