Jimi Hendrix was a pioneer on the frontier of fuzz experimenting with numerous flavors and shades throughout his career to imbue his riffs and leads with just the right attitude and texture. The Fuzz Face Distortion in all of its incarnations was the fuzz pedal that he used more than any other. The Authentic Hendrix 69 Psych Series Fuzz Face Distortion captures two different flavors of Jimi Hendrix fuzz tones in a single mini housing with all the appointments todays players demand. In its default mode this pedal discharges the aggressive silicon-based crunch that that Jimi Hendrix used in the latter part of his career. Hitting the SI/GE switch engages the warm smooth saturation of germanium-based fuzz that he used in the early years. This pedal also uses buffered bypassing by default allowing for a greater range of tones and full cooperation with wah pedals such as the Jimi Hendrix Cry Baby Wah. The tonal purists out there will be happy to know that a Buffer switch allows for true bypass switching. The Authentic Hendrix ’68 Shrine Series pays tribute to the legendary Jimi Hendrix by adorning his favorite effects with custom finishes that remix prolific and celebrated rock artist John Van Hamserveld’s famous 1968 Shrine Auditorium concert poster art.
