Electric Guitar Effects
The Volture pedal is a modern device to help you find THE vintage fuzz sound you're looking for. Simply place it between your power supply and your pedal, and you can adjust the input voltage and perfectly reproduce the sound of dying drums. It can be powered from 9, 12 or 18VDC and produces an adjustable voltage from 7.5 to 1.25V, creating distinctive, distorted, sputtering fuzz sounds.

Presentation
Legend has it that Duane Allman placed his fuzz pedal in the freezer between sessions to cool the transistors, and that Roger Mayer meticulously modified Hendrix's Fuzz Faces beyond recognition in search of an elusive, magical fuzz sound.
Fortunately, even apart from these mythological methods, there's one trick that always works: using a dying battery.
This is because intrinsically simple circuits like those in fuzz are extremely sensitive to the amount of voltage they receive, so any change in the voltage of your power supply will cause radically different tones.
Guitarists finally understood this hack and started using tired drums to try and find the right voltage for their fuzz pedal.
A good idea in theory, but who has time for that?
But a few years ago JHS received an interesting request from a guitarist to find a practical solution to this technique, and the Volture was born.
Please note! The Volture should not be used with pedals based on a digital circuit, as you risk damaging the pedal due to inadequate voltage.
As long as your pedal is entirely analog, everything will be fine.
A flat battery will never damage an analogue circuit.

The "Legends Of Fuzz" series is JHS Pedals' tribute to the most important fuzz circuits ever created.
It's their way of ensuring that the stories behind these effects live on in the music you create.
From the early fuzz days of the mid-60s London scene to the former Soviet military factories of the 90s that brought the Big Muff back to life, fuzz tells a story, and that story includes guitarists like you.
