At 2:31 in this video about his pedalboard, Sam Johnston says:

This is one of my more recent pick ups. This is the Cheese Ball by JHS, based on those old Lovetone pedals from back in the '90s. This things is about as versatile as a fuzz pedal as you can get. I was over working on our new album back in May [of 2020] and things were going slow and I felt like I needed to treat myself to a new pedal and I went in and said, "Hey I want something that kind of sounds Black Keys-ey and kind of like those old Shin-Ei fuzzes from back in the '60s and '70s." And he said, "Sorry, we don't have anything, but this thing will get you pretty close and get you about 15 other things that are just as cool." And I plugged it in, and it's just the coolest thing you can image.
