The JHS Coyote is an octave fuzz built around one main knob, Swell / Fuzz / Octave, that sweeps continuously through three effects. It replicates the Moonrock Fuzz by Glenn S. Wyllie, a North Carolina builder who made his pedals one at a time, and keeps his unusual use of a transformer: it shapes how the fuzz stage responds instead of creating the octave.
Fully counterclockwise, notes swell in with a gated, reversed-tape bloom that follows your picking. At noon it is a full fuzz with rich lows and aggressive mids that holds up on chords. Fully clockwise it moves into a snarling octave-up. Roll back the guitar's volume and it cleans up well for an octave fuzz, staying controlled under a light touch and triggering the swell when you dig in.
JHS suggests it first in the chain, into an overdrive or a driven amp, with the neck pickup above the twelfth fret for the strongest octave. For a sub-octave, the Double Dragon is the other side of JHS's octave work.
