Dunlop JHM8 Jimi Hendrix Gypsy Fuzz
Dunlop · pedal
The Dunlop JHM8 Jimi Hendrix Gypsy Fuzz is a limited-edition fuzz pedal based on a mysterious Fuzz Face variant Jimi Hendrix used during his Band of Gypsys performances in 1969-1970. It delivers a more aggressive, biting character than the standard Fuzz Face — snarling with muscular distortion that pushes further into aggressive territory than the smoother vintage silicon or germanium versions. Controls are Fuzz, Tone, and Output in a compact Phase 90-sized housing with artwork by photographer Gered Mankowitz. Limited to 1500 units worldwide.
