JHS Mary K - Legends of Fuzz Series

The specialist's opinion

The Kay Fuzz Tone was probably released in late 1968 / early 1969.

Originally designed as an inexpensive version of the Shin-ei / Univox Superfuzz, this fuzz is one of the Edge's favorite pedals.

Fifty-four years later, JHS released our version of the Kay Fuzz Tone: the Mary-K. Rather than using a pedal chassis, we are offering JHS Mary-K users the ability to control the Frequency knob using an expression pedal. We recommend the Nektar NX-P and Roland EV-5 expression pedals, but many other expression pedals should work as well. Warning: some expression pedals can introduce hum / noise into the signal chain in environments with strong electromagnetic interference. Therefore, we recommend using plastic frame expression pedals with short cables to avoid unwanted noise in an environment with strong electromagnetic interference.
