Fuzz Face Dunlop Fuzz Face Distortion

Fuzz Face · pedal

The Dunlop Fuzz Face Distortion is a silicon transistor version of the classic Fuzz Face fuzz pedal, one of the most historically significant fuzz designs in electric guitar history. The original Fuzz Face was used by Jimi Hendrix, Roger Mayer, and countless other legendary players and remains a defining circuit for psychedelic rock and classic rock fuzz tone. The silicon transistor version delivers the brighter, more aggressive fuzz character of silicon compared to the warmer germanium original, providing the classic Fuzz Face round enclosure shape and two-knob Fuzz and Volume simplicity.
