Band of Gypsys Fuzz Face Mini Info
Over the course of 1969, 1970, Jimi Hendrix appeared at his most noted live appearances - Live
at Woodstock, Live at Berkeley, and Live at the Fillmore East using a
mysterious red Fuzz Face Distortion with white knobs. That fuzz box
sounded like a completely different animal from any of the other Fuzz
Face pedals in Jimi's arsenal, snarling with a far more aggressive,
biting tone.
The pedal itself has been lost to history, but its unmistakably unique
tone lives on in the recordings of those three iconic shows, and Hendrix
aficionados have tried to cop that sound for years. We are happy to say
that their tonal quest can finally come to a glorious end.
Poring tirelessly over all of the different customized circuit designs
Jimi used over the years, our engineers narrowed down this elusive fuzz
tone to a version of the Octavio circuit that didn't have the octave up
signal. After making a few tweaks, they nailed it with the Band of
Gypsys Fuzz Face Mini Distortion.
Now, you can get the same Fuzz Face tone Jimi used to woo the masses at
some of his most famous performances. It comes in a pedalboard-friendly
Fuzz Face Mini housing, complete with an AC power jack and an on/off
status LED.
MOD:
These can be a little tubby sounding, so we have come up
with a mod for them for a customer request. If you want it to cut better
and have less flabby sound, choose the mod option.
