Frequently Asked Questions - Eureka Jam Pedals

How to power the Eureka pedal?

The pedal can be powered by a 9V battery or a 9V DC adapter with a negative center. Its power consumption is 8 mA.

What is True Bypass?

True Bypass ensures that your guitar signal is not altered when the pedal is off, thus preserving the clarity of your sound.

What is the 3-position switch for?

It allows you to progressively add bass: middle position (0), position "!" (+1), and position "4" (+2). This allows you to adapt the pedal to different types of pickups.

What type of fuzz does the Eureka produce?

It combines the dynamic midrange of germanium fuzzes with the rich distortion of Muff-style fuzzes, all thanks to silicon transistors.

Can you get a "gated" effect with this pedal?

Yes, by setting the switch to "4" and sending a strong enough signal, you will get a characteristic gated fuzz effect.

What controls are available?

The pedal is equipped with three knobs: Level (output volume), Tone (tone), and Gain (saturation level).

Is the pedal suitable for single-coil guitars?

Yes, thanks to the bass boost switch, you can compensate for the lack of low end and get a balanced sound, whether you use single-coil or humbucker pickups.

How to connect the pedal to my amp?

Connect your guitar to the IN input and the amp to the OUT output. For power, use a 9V DC adapter on the 9V DC jack or insert a 9V battery.

How to maintain the pedal?

Simply wipe the housing with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid any liquid and unplug the power supply before cleaning.

What to do in case of malfunction?

We recommend having the repair done by a qualified technician and using original parts to preserve the pedal's performance.

USER MANUAL Eureka Jam Pedals

This Duck will Fuzz you up!

JAMPEDALS.COM

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 "4" setting, and sending a strong enough signal its way you can enjoy its gated-fuzz response!

CONTROLS

1. LEVEL controls the output level
2. TONE adjusts the tone
3. GAIN sets the gain level
4. Toggle – switch selects between 3 increments of bass boost:
   — 0 bass boost in middle position
   — +1 bass boost in “!” position
   — +2 bass boost in "4" position

SPECIFICATIONS

"The Eureka is very touch sensitive, like some of my favourite Albert King tube amp distortion. With the toggle switch to the right, there's a kind of compression there, where the attack is smeared out before the gigantic note arrives. And the power chord stuff is hilarious, huge snarly snaky stuff. Very adaptable for a variety of inputs, from high powered pickups to single coil. I'm a big fan of JAM Pedals!"

Mike Miller

"The Eureka has a unique voice all of its own and covers a lot of bases. With tones that can easily deliver super-heavy riffs, lead lines with searing mid-rich sizzle, flat out noise annihilation and the addition of enormous bass energy when required, this is a really versatile pedal!"

James Sedwards

"Guitar, Eureka!, amp, done."
