Description
Product Name: JHS Muffuletta
Category: Musical Instruments > Guitar Pedals & Effects > Fuzz Effects Pedals
The JHS Muffuletta is more than just a fuzz pedal; it's a tribute to the legendary Big Muff pedal, a circuit that has shaped the sounds of countless bands and musical movements since its creation in 1969. The Muffuletta takes the best of the Big Muff, recreating five classic Big Muff circuits, and adds a unique and original JHS version. This means you're getting six variations of the Big Muff in one pedal, all executed without any digital signal processing or digital emulation. Each model uses real components and values found in the original units for an authentic analog tone.
The Muffuletta features four controls: Volume, Tone, Sustain, and Mode. The Volume control adjusts the overall output, while the Tone control allows you to brighten or darken your tone. The Sustain control, essentially a gain or distortion control, adds more distortion to the circuit. The Mode control lets you choose from the six different versions of the Big Muff, each represented by an icon on the lower half of the knob.
Key Features:
- Replicates five classic Big Muff circuits and includes a unique JHS version
- All models executed without digital signal processing or emulation for authentic analog tone
- Four controls: Volume, Tone, Sustain, and Mode
- Mode control allows easy switching between the six different versions of the Big Muff
- Each version uses real components and values found in the original units
- Small, easy-to-use format replicates rare, expensive, and sought-after versions of the Big Muff circuit

Source -
Wren & Cuff is praised for producing the most authentic vintage Big Muff tones, surpassing the Muffuletta in accuracy.

YOUR LAST FUZZ PEDAL
Actually i found my favorite muff sound of this pedal is the JHS modding one. The Muffuletta is great because it combines 5 different Big Muff models with an added tone knob, along with a JHS take on the classic big muff sound. It is tasty and smooth, can be dark and tasty, or just plain loud. The range and quality of fuzz is definitely worth the $230, as you're getting 5 different fuzz types without buying 5 separate, cumbersome, uncomfortably large pedals. If you're looking for good bang for your buck with an all analog circuit, I'd recommend this fuzz.

An incredible machine
This thing sounds amazing. It's ludicrous, really. Every mode retains the mojo of the pedals that came before them; the smoothness of the Ram's Head and Triangle modes, the aggressiveness of the Pi/OpAmp mode, the clarity and midrange howl of the Civil War. JHS' own proprietary Muff type is also fantastic, and responds to your volume knob much better than your typical Muff circuit (which means that the pedal can double as a very beefy overdrive if you like, and you will like.
I A/B'd this against my Thorpy Muffroom Cloud, to see which one got me closer to the articulate, smooth Gilmour-esque tones I was searching for. The Muffuletta won at that hands down. It's not necessarily a better sound, but I got exactly the sound I was chasing from it, and the Muffroom Cloud was unable to really get there.

the perfect muff
if you want to try out or use diffent kind of muffs, this is your holy grail! They sound very original as far as I can judge. I wish it looked a little more like the original muffs but it's awesome anyway. The JHS mode is a secret weapon and fantastic bonus, sounds fat!

Massive muff
I wasn't sure before purchase that this would be a good replacement for a Fulltone 69 MkII (which I liked but was just a little too muffy sometimes). I am sooo glad I took the chance, this is not a cheap pedal but boy it fills more muff space than redtube and xhamster combined.

Pretty much a muff Swiss Army knife
though not 100% perfect to my ears, this little guy has all the classic Muff tones that'd you'd want and more with the JHS muff!

Crank it up and it cries like a baby
i personally love the jhs mod, it's cruncy and heavy, perfect for post-grunge sounds.

Noel Gallagher shows his pedalboard (new as of Oct 2016) on his Instagram. In the top row, fifth from the left, is his JHS Muffuletta 6-way Fuzz pedal.
The signal coming out of the pedalboard looks to be going into the first Vintage channel of his Fender '68 Custom Twin Reverb Amp.
According to this website he currently uses the JHS Muffuletta 6-way Fuzz on the Getaway tour.

This pedal can be seen as part of Vic Fuentes’ pedal board for Pierce The Veil’s recent show in Washington DC on 5/12/23. The pedal shown is the more rare red hand painted variant.
According to a "Rig Rundown" by John Bohlinger on Premier Guitar, guitarist Steve Stevens uses a JHS Muffuletta on his live pedalboard.

hear me rage open E as I scan the different Muffs of yore (and recent) on the brilliant Muffuletta
“That Iron Horse is really cool, and that’s my main bigger rock tone, and it can handle getting a bit jumpy without sounding like a Metal Zone or something – it still sounds really musical and full. And then I’ve got the JHS Muffuletta, where they basically put all of the Muff circuits in one pedal, and I’m using their own custom one – it’s really cool.
The reason I end up [stacking drives] is because I was really trying to keep a consistent tonal palette as it built “That stacks on top of the other ones, so it’s a lot of stacking. The reason I end up doing it is because I was really trying to keep a consistent tonal palette as it built, and I wasn’t liking it going to something completely different.”
This is Conor's board from the Better Oblivion Community Center tour.
butchwalkerEverybody always wants me to post pics of my pedalboard. I don't. Because it isn't beautiful. It isn't organized. It isn't in order. It isn't much. It's actually very much just like me. But it is functional, easy, and awesome shit. L-R top: Keeley super modulation something something, TC electronics David Hasselhoff signature series reverb pedal, JHS superbolt (backup), JHS RubyRed ?R prototype (backup) Bottom row: Caroline kilobyte delay, JHS ?R signature pedal (soon to be released!), JHS Muffaletta sandwich fuzz, JHS colorbox, TC tuner. I don't play with a lot of gain. The amp is overdriving slightly. I play kinda hard. My fingers are caveman carrots. I can honestly say tho, if you like what to hear on the new record and live, 90% of that is my signature ?R pedal (coming out in the next week or so).
In a photo of Ben Phillips' pedalboard, a range of JHS pedals is visible, including the JHS Muffuletta, which was used during a live performance on the Conan O’Brien show.
In this still of an Instagram story posted on January 26th 2023 on the White Denim Insta account we see James' pedalboard out. The Earthquaker pedal is on the lower row in the middle.
