Dunlop Joe Bonamassa Fuzz Face JB-F3 Copper Top

Dunlop · pedal

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.
