Dunlop JHMS4 Authentic Hendrix '68 Shrine Series Band of Gypsys Fuzz

The JHMS4 Shrine Series Band of Gypsys is the fuzz pedal from Dunlop's Authentic Hendrix series. With a custom finish inspired by the famous 1968 concert poster of Jimi Hendrix at the Shrine Auditorium, this pedal recreates the mysterious growling fuzz sound that the guitar legend used in various iconic performances.

Housed in a compact body, the Jimi Hendrix Shrine Series Band of Gypsys Fuzz is based on a mysterious Fuzz Face Distortion that Jimi Hendrix used in several iconic shows between 1969 and 1979, particularly during the Band of Gypsys performance. Red with white knobs, this specific fuzz stands apart from other Fuzz Faces in his arsenal, growling with an aggressive and gritty sound.

The pedal itself has gone down in history, but its unmistakable sound lives on in recordings. Dunlop's engineers identified that sound in a circuit similar to the Octavio, which did not have the famous octave-up effect of the pedal. After making some modifications, they created the Band of Gypsys Fuzz Face Mini Distortion. Now you can achieve the same sound that Jimi used to enchant audiences during some of his most famous performances.
