JAM Pedals Fuzz Phrase LTD is a limited-edition, fully analog fuzz pedal featuring carefully selected NOS OC44 germanium transistors, a hand-wired turret-board circuit, and true bypass operation.

Features

• Selected NOS OC44 Germanium Transistors: Carefully matched Philips Black Glass transistors deliver a warm, dynamic vintage fuzz tone.
• Hand-Wired Turret-Board Circuit: Point-to-point construction ensures maximum signal integrity and excellent serviceability.
• True Bypass: Keeps your signal completely unaffected when the pedal is disengaged.
• Positive Ground Design: Requires an isolated power supply or a 9V battery for proper operation.
• Vintage Components: Carbon composition resistors and premium capacitors provide an authentic classic sound.
• Factory-Set Bias: The internal bias trimmer is professionally adjusted at the factory for optimal performance.

The JAM Pedals Fuzz Phrase LTD is a meticulously crafted fuzz pedal that faithfully captures the legendary fuzz tones of the late 1960s. At its heart are genuine NOS OC44 germanium transistors from the era, prized for their low leakage, stable gain, and exceptionally low noise characteristics. Every pedal is individually assembled with carefully matched components to ensure consistent performance and an inspiring, highly musical response.

The entire circuit is hand-wired on a traditional turret board, a construction method commonly found in premium boutique tube amplifiers. This labor-intensive approach produces an open, harmonically rich fuzz sound with outstanding dynamics and touch sensitivity. Two straightforward controls—Gain and Level—provide intuitive operation. True bypass preserves the integrity of your signal whenever the effect is switched off. Power is supplied exclusively via an isolated 9V DC power supply or a 9V battery, as the pedal features a positive-ground circuit. With the Fuzz Phrase LTD, JAM Pedals offers a rare collector's piece for players seeking the authentic character of vintage germanium fuzz.
