Fuzz Phrase

The Fuzz Phrase by JAM Pedals is a vintage-sounding germanium fuzz pedal featuring the rare CV7003 military-spec OC44 germanium transistors. These transistors are known for their consistency and heat resistance, eliminating the need for an external bias pot. Each individual transistor is handpicked and matched for gain and leakage, ensuring high-quality sound.

The pedal is housed in a luxurious faux-leather enclosure with point-to-point wiring. It features controls for Level, Gain, and an internal trimmer for transistor bias. The specifications include true bypass, compatibility with 9V battery or 9V DC adaptor (tip-negative), and a power consumption of 3 mA. The dimensions, including jacks and pots, are 7.5 x 12 x 5.6 cm (2.9 x 4.7 x 2.2 inches), and it weighs 300g (0.66 lbs).

The Fuzz Phrase is praised by artists for its warm, vintage sound and has been used by musicians such as David Hidalgo, Dweezil Zappa, Greg Koch, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. It is highly regarded for its unique warmth, complex harmonics, and musicality.
