Dunlop PSF30

Dunlop · pedal

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.

What stands out

  • “The PSF30 produces the aggressive, saturated silicon Fuzz Face character associated with the Screamadelica era — harmonically rich with a raw, biting edge that suits shoegaze, psychedelic rock, and alternative rhythm textures”

    — from the community notes

  • “The silicon Fuzz Face circuit at the heart of the PSF30 delivers a characteristically forward, slightly aggressive fuzz with tight low-end compared to the warmer, woolier germanium variants”
