The JHS Plugin may sport a Legends of Fuzz-standard sloped metal enclosure, but this fuzzbox’s pedal of inspiration, the Jordan Boss Tone, originally came in a compact plastic enclosure that plugged straight into the guitar’s input jack! Still, while Josh Scott and company may have chosen a drastically different form factor from the original, the Plugin captures every detail of the Boss Tone’s wild, raunchy sound ? a tone that offers everything from a smooth ‘60s-style saturation to screaming treble-boosted fuzz. Moreover, the Plugin continues the JHS Legends of Fuzz Tradition with a side-mounted Mode switch for extended tonal flexibility. If you’re after old-school Boss Tone attitude but with all the benefits of modern pedal construction, simply plug in a JHS Legends of Fuzz Plugin pedal!

Updated enclosure for enhanced reliability





So, why does the JHS Plugin ? a pedal replicating a legendary fuzz box plugged straight into the guitar’s input jack ? come in a floor-based stompbox format? The answer is simple: it’s a superior design for most guitarists. Direct plug-in pedals certainly have plenty of retro charm, but they’re easily damaged and can often get in the way. Did we mention that you can’t even use them on certain guitars because of their input jack shapes, including a little-known model that we like to call the “Stratocaster?” The JHS Plugin’s robust metal chassis may not be 100% vintage, but Sweetwater guitarists stand by Josh’s decision to buck tradition to offer guitarists a more reliable, durable, and convenient take on the legendary Jordan Boss Tone.
