Jennings Scrambler (S.C.1)

Fuzz

The Jennings Scrambler (S.C.1) was a multi-effects pedal made by Jennings. Fuzzboxes.org describes it as combining "fuzz, wah, and a series of boost options into a single giant multi-effects pedal", making it an early example of putting several effect types in one enclosure rather than a single-function fuzz pedal1.

What it does

The Scrambler covers three effect types at once: fuzz, wah and a range of boost options, all combined in a single multi-effects pedal1. That puts it in the same family as the other Jennings stompboxes of the period, such as the Jennings Growler (G.1), though the Scrambler is the model that gathered several effects into one unit1.

History

The Scrambler stood out within the Jennings pedal range precisely because it was not a single-function stompbox. Fuzzboxes.org notes that the pedal "combined fuzz, wah, and a series of boost options into a single giant multi-effects pedal", and the publication's own record of the range describes it as "the Scrambler (combined fuzz, wah and various boost effects)"1.

The Scrambler is a vintage pedal, and Fuzzboxes.org's account of it is historical in character: the publication describes "this bizarre Jennings pedal" that "combined fuzz, wah, and a series of boost options into a single giant multi-effects pedal"1.

The Scrambler is a long-discontinued vintage pedal.
