This Fuzz Face Mini Distortion nails the aggressive, biting fuzz tone Jimi Hendrix used at some of his most iconic live performances, with a status LED, AC power jack, battery door, and mini housing for modern convenience.
This pedal can be powered by a 9-volt battery, a Dunlop ECB003 9-volt adapter, or the DC Brick™, Iso-Brick™, and Mini Iso-Brick™ power supplies (not included).
THE LONG STORY
Over the course of 1969 and 1970, Jimi Hendrix made some of his most notable live appearances, including Live at Woodstock, Live at Berkeley, and Live at the Fillmore East. He used a red Fuzz Face Distortion pedal with white knobs, which had a more aggressive and biting tone compared to the other pedals in his collection.
The pedal itself has been lost to history, but its unmistakably unique tone lives on in the recordings of those three iconic shows, and Hendrix aficionados have tried to cop that sound for years. We are happy to say that their tonal quest can finally come to a glorious end.
Poring tirelessly over all of the different customized circuit designs Jimi used over the years, our engineers narrowed down this elusive fuzz tone to a version of the Octavio® circuit that didn't have the octave up signal. After making a few tweaks, they nailed it with the Band of Gypsys Fuzz Face Mini Distortion.
Now, you can get the same Fuzz Face tone Jimi used to woo the masses at some of his most famous performances. It comes in a pedalboard-friendly Fuzz Face Mini housing, complete with an AC power jack and an on/off status LED.
