Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face

Very easy to use, just has two knobs. This is in factory condition, very simple, very good.

BRILLIANT! I haven't had any trouble like is mentioned in the review before mine. I play bluesy rock, Hendrix, Cream...this delivers very 60s fuzz what I was looking for. It isn't noisy, very full and warm.

It's very solid, like a tank. I don't need a backup with this.

I've played for six years and have been through loads of fuzz pedals in the search for the right kind of sound and THIS IS IT! I would buy it again instantly. A real find for the price.

After my last reveiw I found that this pedal has one problem at least in my rig. If I use solely this pedal, it lowers the output signal a bit too much when switched on. But if I place a box that has volume control between the guitar and the Fuzz Face it works good. Note that the first pedal used isn't true bypass, I used Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive (w/true bypass) before the Fuzz Face and it didn't have any affect to the volume problem. With Danelectro Daddy O (crap OD, but ovbiously works as a boost)switched off the volume is as desired. At least now I have some use for the Daddy O...but the fuzz is noisy.

This piece of metal is easy to use and to find a good sound. Just two controls, volume and fuzz.

I'm playing this with Epi Sheraton and Riviera to a Fender Blues Deluxe. This effect will affect to your treble a bit, but just a bit. I haven't tried to play anything remotely Hendrix, mainly brit rock and post-rock. I love fuzz distortion specially in some lead parts, it suits my style. The sound is very rich and full, but you'll have to look for your own preference.

I think I'd manage without a backup. I try not to buy backups for pedals, seems just a waste of money. I've had no trouble so far, but the hotpotz-switch may some day cause a bit trouble.

As much as said, I play modern poprock and this fuzz fits me very well. I've been playing for ten years now and have some pedals of which the crucial ones are this and Cool Cat. I would certainly search for a new fuzz if this was stolen, but I am not sure that would it be this one. If I have to name a thing that i dislike, it's the name "Jimi Hendrix" on the pedal. This feature doesn't make me a better musician and I believe this pedal isn't even the actual used by Hendrix. It just looks stupid.

it is really easy to use.

great explained overall.

hell ya i can depend on it. if it could last me throughing throwing it, i wouldn't need a backup at a gig.

i play henrix, which is a good match. i've been playing for about 11 years. i own a waw- waw pedal and a phase shifter. if my fuzz were lost or stolen i would buy it again, no other fuzz sounds better than this one. it sounds exacty like hendrix if you put the knobs right. it is better than all the fuzz's that i've tried. the sound of it helps me create songs when i practice. it's a great pedal.

More difficult than the simple layout (2 knobs, fuzz and volume) may suggest. Some careful tweaking of the volume control on your instrument is required to attain the most out of the unit.

If you've come here looking for warm ,tube emulating distortion or something that'll add a subtle bluesy crunch to your playing, then brother you've not only come to the wrong planet, YOU'RE IN THE WRONG GALAXY!!!
It's a FUZZ! so of course it sounds square wavey, that's what it does!And no it won't clean up when you roll of the instrument volume (even to 3!) but doing this will give you more definition,especially chords, and a lot more headroom, so you can whack your amp up and not risk losing the fuzz tone!
Yeah it's noisy, but I'd bet Hendrix's was too. I reckon that just adds to it's charm.
If you like fizzy, nasty distortion with less subtlety than a sledgehammer, then this little saucer shaped monster could certainly be a prime contender for a coveted place in your pedal board.
I can't give it 10 out of 10 'cos I haven't tried all the fuzzes out there but it beats the colorsound tone bender or any boss or dod attempt hands down!

I've had this for 10 years! It's been dsropped in a paint vat! HAD NEAT HYDROCHLORIC ACID POURED ALL OVER IT (SERIOUSLY), been left out in the frost! stamped on, thrown at people, run over.....etc
And never once has it failed to work!!!
It really is indestructable!

This is perfect for the kind of stuff i play. I use Les Pauls, Fuzz,shaller tremolo,vox ltd ed wah,Moogerfooger Ring modulator, moogerfooger Lowpass filter,watkins copicat(valve),Smallstone phaser into a seymour duncan convertible 2000! So not your average guitar set up!!
Sound great if used properly, if not you'll just lose volume and chords will lose all definition and power.
If it were lost I'd have to replace it, but not nessasarilly with this particular model. I'd have to A/B it with a ZVEX fuzz factory,roger mayer axis fuzz or Pete Cornish G or P fuzz, but these items are hand made and harder to find (not to mention considerably more expensive)but in the world of mass produced fuzz tones I'm sure this sits near the top of the pile.
And deservedly so!
