Jimi Hendrix was the master of fuzz, an artist with many subtle shadings at his command. His love affair with the legendary Fuzz Face pedal began in the early days of the Experience and continued to evolve throughout his brief but blazing career.
The Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face Distortion is a meticulously faithful reproduction of the 1969“70 Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face model that Jimi used on classic albums such as Electric Ladyland. Dunlop's engineering department examined hoards of vintage Fuzz Face pedals, honing in on a few units which possessed that unmistakable Jimi voodoo.
The Hendrix Fuzz Face is built around the toneful BC108 silicon transistor. It is authentic in every detail, featuring a hand-wired brown circuit board with no solder mask and circuitry carefully matched to original specs. It' all housed in a 100% accurate groovy circular chassis with tooled clones of the original Fuzz Face knobs in the rare and vintage turquoise hammertone finish. A truly playable collectable for any Hendrix or Fuzz Face fanatic.

Dunlop JH-F1 Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face Pedal
.I love this fuzz box. It gives me that "acid" tone I want on certain tunes.
I picked up an old Pignose 40V and along with my Dunlop Wah Wah this Fuzz box makes the package complete. The Pignose is all tube so it really sounds cool when the fuzz and the wah are doing their thing. Built strong and sturdy, with easy controls it fits the bill perfectly.
Very good quality construction.

This is the best! turn it all the way up and be Jimi!
It is made like 40 years ago! i bet you could run over it and not hurt it!
The best for your hard earn money!

.I have a G&L strat that I run thru this fuzz pedal to a Tube Tone Vibroverb 63' reproduction. I've been looking for a fuzz pedal for quite a while that would be touch sensitive and put just enough hair on the notes. This combination totally nails the Hendrix "clean" sound. Everything from "The wind cries Mary", "Hey Joe" to "Little Wing" sound exact. Most video demo's I've watched all demonstrate the high gain dirty sound of the fuzz pedal, but almost none demonstrate the cleaner sounds. The pedal is perfect for classic rock riffs and blues based rock. I run the pedal at 3/4ths volume and fuzz knob on full with the guitars volume knob backed off to taste. If this is the sound you're looking for, look no further… this is the one!

.What can you say, you get what you pay for. This his is amazing, and very vintage, with a definite "voodoo" sound. Although it is not very responsive (not much fuzz until the knob is almost all the way up), it is an excellent sound. The same thing goes for the volume knob. However, that is practically irrelevant to how good the pedal sounds. Very similar to Jimi. Sounds unbelievable through my 1974 100 watt Super Lead head. Of course Jimi used a strat, but my Gibson 57 Les Paul Custom and my Gibson 58 Les Paul custom sound unbelievable as well. My strat sounds equally good also.

.This is an awesome pedal. Nothing but vintage fuzz. I play a fender strat through a 67' bassman, and the tone this pedal puts out is godly. I would advize playing through tube amps only, it wont produce that vintage sound through a solid state. The fuzz nob is kind of a waste though, about 90% of the fuzz nob produces a warm fuzz. When you get to the last 10% or so, it makes a hendrix fuzz sound come to life. The true colors of this pedal shine when you adjust the volume nob on your guitar. It takes out some of the fuzz but leaves behind some of the crunch which sounds nice when your amp volume is turned on high. When a lead comes up, turn the volume nob on your guitar for a nice hendrix sounding solo. Buy it, its worth it.

.I ordered this pedal knowing it would not be an onslaught of noise, but some really good tones. I ran it alone and then with my Blackstone Appliances mossfet overdrive. Since I play thru a squeaky clean amp, I knew I would need to layer this pedal with some kind of signal boost and these two pedals together produced some of the best tones I'd heard in 40 years of playing. But, today I returned the JH-F1 because it couldn't run either alone, or within my chain without radio signal interference. I could literally listen to someone carry on a conversation. Needless to say I was disappointed. I gave it decent ratings for quality because the components are good. Dunlop just needs to clean up the circuit.

.This is now my favorite pedal. When I first tried it I was a little puzzled on how it worked. After experimenting with it I found putting my overdrive in between the fuzz and my cry baby unlocked the hendrix vibe. This petal has serious voodoo. And this is the first time my wah has sounded really good. I am so glad I decided to get this pedal.

.This pedal is excellent for certain players: those who have the right gear to accompany it and who have the time to really sit down and dial in the right sound. This isn't going to be for everyone, but I guess no pedal really is! A cranked tube amp really makes this thing shine. If you are using a solid state amp and are considering this pedal, just know that you are probably not going to hear the Fuzz Face at its full potential, so be very cautious.
This is not a "plug-in-and-play" kind of pedal. It took me a couple of sittings to tweak my amp and the pedal settings enough to get a good sound and to be honest I did not like it at first. After putting the time in, I have gotten a really good, pummeling fuzz tone with this thing and my Vox AC30. I love it! It is probably best known for working in conjunction with single coil pickups but I have gotten a really great sound with my mid-2000's Gibson SG Standard. So, I would recommend trying it even if you have a guitar with humbuckers!

. This unit has great vintage mojo that gives good Hendrix tone w/Strat. I sent mine back to exchange for the MXR 108 classic fuzz. Basically the same unit with bypass, ac and smaller in size. The Fuzz face also has a noisy pop to the foot switch and runs on a 9 volt only. It is made very sturdy and is a true recreation. In order to get the transistors to really kick in you have to turn the fuzz knob up almost all the way. The unit I had was a littel week so I had to run it with a DOD Grey OD clone to boost the gain a little. Overall it has great tone and with a Moen Jimi pedal and a decent tube amp cranked up its Hendrix/Trower all the way. Pretty cool
