Dunlop Screamadelica Fuzz Face Distortion
Dunlop · pedal
The Dunlop Screamadelica Fuzz Face is a limited edition collaboration Fuzz Face pedal released in connection with Primal Scream Screamadelica anniversary, featuring the classic germanium Fuzz Face circuit that was prominent in the psychedelic rock and shoegaze sounds of the late 1980s and early 1990s UK rock scene. The Screamadelica album by Primal Scream, released in 1991, represented a landmark moment for British psychedelia blending acid house and classic rock fuzz tones, and the Fuzz Face was central to its guitar aesthetic. The pedal delivers the warm, smooth, dynamically responsive germanium character characteristic of the classic Fuzz Face design.
