The JHS Berkeley - 1973 FRESH FUZZ REPLICA

This product is brand new. We are an Authorised Dealer of JHS Pedals.


What JHS say about the Berkeley Fuzz:

5.68 X 3.62 X 2 INCHES, 0.85 IBS

In 1973, effects legend Craig Anderton and John Lang launched Seamoon Inc., releasing their flagship fuzz pedal the same year: the Fresh Fuzz. Initially, a fragile plastic enclosure design caused these Bakelite pedals to shatter when guitarists stomped on them, so Seamoon began recasing them in metal enclosures within a few months. Despite inaccurate reviews that the Fresh Fuzz was “thin sounding,” it gained popularity and has been used extensively by artists like Tom Scholz (Boston) and guitar virtuoso Eric Johnson. This is our tribute to the rarer single op amp 741 version (Version 1).

THIS PEDAL REQUIRES 9V DC NEGATIVE CENTER. 4MA CONSUMPTION. DO NOT USE MORE THAN 9V DC, OR YOUR WARRANTY WILL BE VOIDED. THE BERKELEY DOES ALLOW FOR BATTERY OPERATION VIA A SINGLE 9V BATTERY. JUST LOOSEN THE TWO REAR SCREWS FROM THE ENCLOSURE AND THE BACKPLATE WILL SWING OPEN. ON THE INSIDE YOU WILL SEE A BATTERY CLIP TO INSTALL THE BATTERY INTO.

Product Overview
The JHS Legends Series Berkeley 1973 California Fuzz is a modern effect based on the ultra-rare Seamoon Inc. Fresh Fuzz from 1973—specifically, the rarer single op-amp 741 variant, according to JHS. This modern recreation nails the original's fat, compressed tone and matches its tons of output but also includes a JHS mode that improves on the brightness of the smooth fuzz.
