JHS Pedals Fumble JFET Clean Boost Pedal

The Fumble from JHS Pedals is a Dumble-inspired clean boost pedal that resurrects the rich clean tones of the 70s, delivering a sought-after sound at an affordable price point. A deftly upward failure, the Fumble originally appeared as a mistake in JHS's NOTADÜMBLË V1, wherein Josh Scott mistakenly manufacturered the circuit as the short-lived DIY kit's clean section before realizing the mistake and discontinuing the design. This recreation of the Dumble BCC-1 preamp, originally developed by JHS for John Mayer, was instantly recognized as jam-worthy for its richly vintage and amp-like clean tone, and thus the Fumble was born out of the demand that followed.

The Fumble is perfect as an always-on clean boost, a decadent boost before overdrives and other gain stages, slamming into a dirty amp for added articulation, or as an end-of-chain boost for soloistic moments in a performance. Built around a JFET gain stage originally used in Dumble amps, the pedal delivers a unique character of harmonic enhancement that adds articulation and tonal balance to virtually any guitar rig. The Output control sets the output volume to fine tune gain staging before downstream devices, while the Input control offers a sophisticated, simultaneous attenuation to bass frequencies and input gain, letting you roll the knob counterclockwise to achieve a thinner and tighter tone. No matter how you apply it in your rig, you're sure to succeed with the Fumble from JHS Pedals.
