The Hephaestus started life as a simple take on the classic Jordan Boss Tone circuit. That little plastic box you plugged directing into your guitar to get that classic “Spirit in the Sky” fuzz sound. By adjusting the voltage to the circuit itself you get a very sporadic octave down effect, essential turning that little plastic fuzz box into the antioctavia.

The Hephaestus features a single external “Warning” knob that adjusts voltage of the unit. When the warning knob is set to maximum (fully clockwise) you get classic fuzz tones but once you hit 1 o’clock, the suboctave effect starts to happen. Continuing to turn the “Warning” knob down makes that octave effect more prevalent. It’s weird, unpredictable, but most importantly it’s incredibly musical. There are riffs to be found in the Hephaestus!

Internally there is a master volume so you can adjust the overall output of the pedal. The Hephaestus comes in a mini size format, features a single external “Warning” control, and has an internal volume trimmer for output level adjustment.

Key Features

  • Warning Knob – The Warning knob on the face of the pedal does not control volume, it doesn’t control gain, it controls voltage feeding the circuit! When maxed out the circuit sounds like the best of the classic circuit, but as you turn the knob down, you adjust the overall voltage entering the circuit. Once the knob hits 1 o’clock something magical happens, a sub octave begins to be introduced! When and where it appears will be very dependent on your guitar and amp setup but it creates a sub octave synth effect you’re sure to love! Further reducing the voltage or WARNING knob will cause even more octave things to happen while reducing the overall gain of the circuit.

Specifications

  • Warning Dial: Controls the voltage feeding the circuit.
  • Bypass: True Bypass
  • Size: Mini
  • Power: 9V DC Adapter (Not included)

Tasty Pedals made by Mythos

Just Pedal Ingredients.

Fuzz — A fuzz pedal is one of the earliest and most aggressive forms of distortion, turning your clean guitar signal into a thick, saturated wall of sound. It works by clipping the waveform almost flat, creating a compressed, gritty tone full of harmonic overtones. The result is raw, unruly, and unmistakable — from the sputtering breakup of vintage germanium circuits to the searing sustain of modern silicon designs. Fuzz pedals react strongly to your guitar’s volume and pickup choice, making them dynamic tools for expressive players. Whether you’re chasing the classic tones of Hendrix and the Smashing Pumpkins or exploring heavy, experimental textures, fuzz remains a favourite for its personality and unpredictability. It can sound smooth and sustaining, or wild and velcro-like, depending on how it’s set up. A good fuzz pedal cuts through the mix while adding thickness and attitude, turning any riff or lead line into something bold and unmistakably alive.. Guitar Pedals — Your pedal is like a signature dish for your sound — a flavour-packed creation that transforms the bland ingredients of your guitar into something unforgettable. Each one adds its own seasoning, texture, and heat, turning a simple meal into a feast of tone. These tasty little boxes sit in a row, like plates on a buffet, letting you mix and match flavours as you play. With one tap of your foot, you can swap sweet for spicy, subtle for smoky, and serve up something completely new. From the comfort food of warm overdrive to the fiery kick of fuzz, from smooth jazz sauce to heavy-metal spice, pedals give players a full menu of options to express their taste.  And just like with food, once you’ve tried one dish, you’ll want to sample them all. Collecting, trading, and discovering new flavours soon becomes part of the joy of being a tone-loving gourmet geek with a guitar.. New.
