Cheese Ball
By JHS Pedals
A faithful recreation of a rare, now-pricey British fuzz/distortion circuit, with a four-position mode selector for different tone/gain voicings.
About this pedal
The Cheese Ball recreates an out-of-production fuzz/distortion circuit that’s become a cult favorite (used by The Edge, Jimmy Page, and Radiohead) and now sells for hundreds of dollars used, adding a mode selector that runs from bright trashy fuzz through a mid-scooped Big Muff-style buzz to a biting gated fuzz.
