An icon reissued in authentic form
Based on the 1969-70 Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face that Jimi Hendrix used, this modern reissue accurately recreates the look of that pedal and is built around a pair of BC108 silicon transistors, with handwired circuitry carefully matched to the original specs.
Hear it in action in the following clips, light fuzz:
Heavy fuzz:
The Hendrix edition has the vintage Fuzz Face sound down. With a bright tonality that cuts through, this is a smooth fuzz that oozes sustain and cleans up quite nicely when you roll your volume back. Overall, it's an iconic stompbox that's great if you want to look the part as well as sound it, but it’s not the most practical of pedals.
PROS: Cool looks. Authentic vintage sound.
CONS: Expensive. Fiddly battery access. No LED. No power adaptor socket.
