This one’s a tale of two halves!. The upper half mostly is what I have - in fact I also own earlier versions of the Harmonious Monk and Rattler 2, so that my AM Pedals Count is at 9 currently. While the visual slightly streamlines things to avoid duplicates - and includes 5 pedals which are still ongoing targets for me - as indentigied by the targeting icon.

 

I’ve always loved JAM’s fuller flavour approach - while on occasion I prefer little more feature-rich and extended range pedals. For instance I don’t feel I need either the LucyDreamer or the TubeDreamer pedals - I have plenty of extended range screamers as is. And I have a preference for fuzzes with external bias controls - so neither of the two Fuzz Phrases suits my sensibilities. Near everything else is fair game - while my philosophy also kind of precludes the large Multi-FX pedals - the Pink Flow and Kockness Monster!

 

In the following listing I will arrange the ones I have at the top, with the targets following on below :

  • Eureka Muff-Face Fuzz - €259
  • Harmonious Monk Harmonic Tremolo - €299
  • Octaurus Ltd Octafuzz - €449
  • Red Muck Triangle / Civil War Muff - €259
  • Rattler MKII Distortion - €259
    ==============================
  • Rattler MKI LTD with Turret-style Circuit - €449
  • Retrovibe Uni-Vibe / Vibrato - €449
  • Ripple 2-Stage Phaser - €229
  • Ripply Fall Chorus + Vibrato + Phaser - €379
  • Waterfall Analog BBD Chorus / Vibrato - €279


So unusually for these articles I’ve pictured both the targets as well as the ones I own!

 

There’s one more I quite wanted to own which is the 3D-Printed EureQuack ’Bath’ Edition of the Eureka Muff-Face. That has to be purely shelf-ware, as I would imagine the paint would rub off very quickly on the lifebuoy footswitch topper - the EureQuack is rather more ornamental than tour-grade and goes for €359 which is rather expensive for a paper-weight! I still quite want one!

 

Other than that it’s mostly just modulations and the Ltd Turret-style Rattler!

All bar the sold out original Octaurus are available from the JAM Pedals Webstore and at most leading international dealers!

 

Further details on each pedal below :

Eureka Muff-Face Fuzz - €259

close

Controls - Level, Tone, Gain, Bass Boost Switch : +1 / 0 / +2.

 

I feel this one is a little under-appreciated, while it's really quite potent and versatile. A little trick on the dial-in sometimes - but still relatively easy to find killer tones. This is an interesting sort of inbetweener fuzz - which doesn't get the respect it deserves! I've alway really liked it!


Harmonious Monk Harmonic Tremolo - €299

close

Controls - D (Depth), Mode : Up Harmonic / Down Amplitude, S (Speed), L (Level), Waveforms : Square / Sinewave / Reverse Sawtooth, M (Mix), Engage footswitch, Tap Tempo / Speed Ramp / x2 Speed. Press and hold both footswitches to change Tao / Speed Mode, and hold down Engage Footswitch on power-up to set default startup mode : On or Off.

 

This has long been documented as my favourite all-time Harmonic Tremolo, and favourite Tremolo overall. It has such a rich and thick flavour that it's the closest non-uni-vibes will ever get to that uni-vibe throb. The MKII is a definite improvement over the original. This is a perfect full-featured Tremolo with smart attention to detail - my favourite JAM Pedal to date!


Octaurus Ltd Octafuzz - €449

close

Controls - Voice : Scooped / Full, Tone, Clipping : Asymmetrical / Symmetrical, Level, Gain.

 

A truly fierce, searing octave fuzz - which sounds exceptional on the Full Voice, and with Asymmetrical clipping - one of the best Octafusses out there - everyway fabulous. And I'm lucky to have this in the cool circuit layout, and suede covering Ltd Edition - classic JAM Pedals flavour! I always say that JAM Pedals leans into the fuller and fatter flavour!


Red Muck Triangle / Civil War Muff - €259

close

Controls - Tone, Clipping : Asymmetrical+ / Symmetrical, Level, Gain, Engage Boost Footswitch, Engage Footswitch, internal Boost trimmer.

 

A potent Multi-Muff covering both original Triangle and Civil War Muff flavours - mostly controlled by the '+' Clipping Options. One of my favourites for sure - and often featured on this site. I tend to favour the original higher gain Triangle Big Muff Editions.


Rattler MKII Distortion - €259

close

Controls - Level, Gain, Tone, Clipping : Asymmetrical / Symmetrical, Mid Boos Footswitch, Engage Footswitch, Internal Boost Trimmer.

 

The second major iteration of Rattler - no longer using LM308 OpAmp variants, but rather JAM Pedals own engineered proprietary OpAmp. It has a slightly smoother output - not as Raspy or garage-punky as its predecessor - but still with plenty of flavour and texture. Starts off a little 1980 Inventions DRV, but quickly ramps up to more gain and aggression. Further aided by the Asymmetrical Clipping and Mid Boost - a great sounding and unique take on that format.


Rattler MKI LTD with Turret-style Circuit - €449

close

Controls - Tone, Gain Structure : High / Low, Level, Gain.

 

A really cool leather-clad edition of the MKI Rattler - wrapped around the most glorious of Turret-style circuit arrangements - centred on a Metal Can LM308AH OpAmp. I love this one for its unique look and circuit as much as its output - JAM make some of the very best sounding Rats, and there are aspects of the MKI that I prefer on occasion. This has been on my wishlist for a while - it's a high level target - but quite pricey - and my wishlist is long!


Retrovibe Uni-Vibe / Vibrato - €449

close

Controls - Mode / Mix : Chorus / Vibrato, Depth, Speed.

 

I own around 20 Uni-Vibes - a mix of Compact and Mid-Size editions - and this JAM Retrovibe has long been on my Radar. It's the favourite of many players - and has that typical JAM fuller flavour. It doesn't do the ramping / braking think that I so like - but it does sound pretty fantastic. It's still on my wishlist - while not necessarily one of the most versatile or variable  - I will for sure get it eventually!


Ripple 2-Stage Phaser - €229

close

Controls - Speed.

 

One of the best sounding 2-Stage Phasers out there - has a wonderful syrupy modulation flavour. It's probably never going to knock the Beetronics Larva off the board, but it's certainly nice to have in the arsenal!


Ripply Fall Chorus + Vibrato + Phaser - €379

close

Controls - RIPPLE PHASER } Left Speed, Left Engage Footswitch, WATERFALL CHORUS } Intensity : + Pronounced / - Discrete, Middle Speed, Mode / Mix : Chorus / Vibrato, Depth, Central Speed Multiplier Footswitch, Right Engage Footswitch.

 

A really cool combination of the Ripple 2-Stage Pahser and Waterfall Analog Chorus / Vibrato. You get an extra central Footswitch for this combo with acts as a Speed Multiplier for the Waterfall. Those two modulation are fantastic takes on those types, while I might be tempted to get the Ripply Fall, rather than individual Ripple and Waterfall - the Ripply Fall delivers a little more!


Waterfall Analog BBD Chorus / Vibrato - €279

close

Controls - Depth, Intensity : - Discrete / + Pronounced, Speed, Mode / Mix : Chorus / Vibrato.

 

I own over 20 Choruses  - mostly analog BBD varieties - but I've already set aside space for this one more as it's a fantastic take on the classic Chorus. I don't necessarily need it, while it would nicely round out my capsule collection!
