This is a seriously fun fuzz, a faithful take on the Lovetone Big Cheese, but with a JHS twist. It’s going to be loud and saturated, so if you're chasing that wall-of-sound fuzz for heavier riffs or psychedelic textures, this is a great choice. It’s not for clean tones, though – it's all about the fuzz.

Frequently Asked Questions
It aims for a very similar character, capturing the Big Cheese's signature chaotic and thick fuzz, but JHS has made some adjustments to the EQ and overall responsiveness.
While versatile within the fuzz spectrum, it excels in rock, stoner, and psychedelic styles; cleaner genres may find it too extreme.
High-output pickups will really push this pedal into over-the-top territory, but it also works surprisingly well with hotter vintage pickups to add a thick, saturated edge.
