Big John Hairy BallsHAIRY BALLS – Fuzz & Boost

The Big John Hairy Balls is a fuzz pedal from Belgium that not only features zippery, gated fuzz but also adds a transistor boost that can be used in conjunction with the fuzz effect or separately. The Boost function features its own footswitch and a Boost control. The boost stays clean until about 3 o’clock, then it gets scratchy and starts fuzzin out as the transistor bias changes. The fuzz section is simple, Volume and Gate knobs give you all the control you need over the effect. The Big John Hairy Balls is a great fuzz design and like all Big John Pedals, it is made with top quality components with point-to-point construction for better tone and durability.

This gives you complete control over the effect from pure overdrive to slight octave to total octave down. The Big John Granny Puker is point-to-point wired and handmade in Belgium with top quality components. And like all Big John pedals, the Granny Puker is built to be indestructible.

Big John Lil John 1Big LIL’ JOHN 1 – Boost

The Lil’ John (2) FUZZ is nasty! Dripping like a sweaty taint, the fuzz tone is gated and Velcro-ish no matter what the Gate setting is. Even with the Gate off, the Lil’ Fuzz yields staccato sustain and nasty fuzz tone with moderate output and gain levels. Kicking in the Lil’ (1) Boost is like thumping a wildebeest in the danglies, the volume goes through the roof, perfect for a lead boost. The boost stays clean until about 3 o’clock, then it gets scratchy and starts fuzzin out as the transistor bias changes. With the Boost all the way up, there is added gain and grit for a huge ballsy (pun intended) fuzz tone that will make your neighbor sweat. The Lil’ Johns are pedals to annoy, enjoy, and play with for as long as you can still hear. like all Big John Pedals, it is made with top quality components with point-to-point construction for better tone and durability.
