Fulltone Custom Shop Hi-Mu Hi-Gain Distortion Pedal

The Fulltone Custom Shop Hi-Mu, brings sustain, touch sensitivity, and articulation to a new High. Made with full size components, a handful of matched JFETs, hand-soldered craftsmanship, and without opamps, diodes, or digital circuitry.

The Custom Shop Hi-Mu is designed to excel as a singing Lead Voice, powered by 4 x New Old Stock Full-size JFETs configured as “Mu-Stacks” to behave in an amp-like manner, meaning it responds dynamically to the input from your hands and guitar. It offers great clean-up by lowering the guitar’s volume knob and has ample midrange, clarity, sustain, harmonics.

Battery : to access the 9 volt battery (included) please unscrew the thumbscrews on either side of the pedal and pull the housing apart. Remove the battery if dead, replace it, and put the pedal back together again. Do not use tools to tighten the thumbscrew, only hand-tighten them.

3-position Bass switch is used in conjunction with the EQ knob to enhance or remove Bass frequencies. Note that as the EQ knob is turned clockwise past 12 o’clock this switch will seem less obvious, especially when used with smaller amps.
EQ knob is not a conventional Hi-Cut, rather its capable of drastic tonal changes ranging from rich and smoother (around 9 o’clock) to sharp and cutting (around 3 o’clock.) Using the Bass switch with the EQ knob yields endless possibilities.
Sustain Knob makes the sound more distorted as it is turned clockwise.
