When it comes to the fuzz effect there is an age old debate: Germanium or Silicon? The difference between these pint sized components can divide players like politics at Thanksgiving. But luckily it doesn't have to be that way. The Eureka Fuzz by JAM Pedals uses silicon transistors in a specialized design voiced to achieve the best of both worlds. It combines the raw power of the germanium sound with the depth and body of Big-Muff style silicon. With effective tone shaping tools and a three-way low end boost switch, it's never been easier to dial in the perfect fuzz tone. Eureka!
No matter what kind of fuzz you're into, the folks at JAM have the right pedal for you. Utilizing their obsession with NOS components, they offer a roster of circuits inspired by the best Silicon and Germanium pedals ever produced, and now they've bridged the Great Divide. Enter, the Eureka Fuzz. This special circuit uses silicon transistors in an entirely new fashion to achieve the best of both fuzz worlds: the midrange snarl of germanium and the sheer mass of silicon. To no one's surprise, they seemed to have got it just right, and using the Tone and Gain controls you can easily sway into the sonic territory of your choice. It's a lot like having the Fuzz Phrase and the Red Muck in a single box. The grit is tangible but always propped up by a full-bodied lows, and it cleans right up with a slight roll of the volume knob.
The mini-toggle switch on the Eureka is a great feature that progressively adds in low end frequencies. This is super helpful if you're switching between single coil and humbucker guitars or if you simply need a quick presence boost for a big solo.
The Eureka is a simple pedal that solves a lot of problems right away. It has its own unique character but remains authentic in its recreation of the germanium soundscape. If you love fuzz but can never stay satisfied, you might just say Eureka! when you hear this one.
In the words of JAM pedals....We set out to create a circuit that combined the singing, dynamic mid-range of germanium fuzz pedals with the gritty, full-bodied and well-rounded Muff-style fuzz distortion. Well...
Eureka!
Utilizing silicon transistors in a proprietary architecture to get the best of both worlds, the Eureka! is a phenomenal team player, flawlessly performing with all kinds of different effects, guitars and amps, all-the-while managing to maintain its distinct head-turning personality.
The onboard three-way toggle-switch incrementally introduces more low-end, a feature extremely useful for switching between single-coil and humbucker equipped guitars, as well as beefing things up for solos! When set to the 
setting, and sending a strong enough signal its way you can enjoy its gated-fuzz response!
