The Dunlop Joe Bonamassa Fuzz Face JB-F3 Copper Top is a signature version of the classic Fuzz Face circuit, the germanium and silicon transistor fuzz that defined late-1960s psychedelic and blues rock tone in the hands of players including Jimi Hendrix. Bonamassa is closely associated with vintage-style blues rock tone across a large collection of guitars and amplifiers, and signature Fuzz Face editions typically select a specific transistor gain range and bias point to match the artists preferred voicing. Andy Timmons, a melodic instrumental rock player, is associated with this particular unit.
The Dunlop PSF30 Screamadelica Fuzz Face is a limited-edition silicon Fuzz Face Distortion celebrating the 30th anniversary of Primal Scream's landmark 1991 album Screamadelica. It delivers saturated silicon fuzz tones — aggressive, harmonically dense, and suited to the distorted, psychedelic character of early 1990s alternative and electronic-influenced rock. The circular enclosure carries the iconic Screamadelica sun-face artwork. True bypass.
