Paying tribute to guitar hero Jimi Hendrix, this special edition Band of Gypsys Fuzz features a custom finish with the famous 1968 Shrine Auditorium concert poster by revered rock artist John Van Hamersveld, remixed by Simon Berndt of One Horse Town Illustration with blue and green flames to capture the fiery passion and transcendent musical journey Hendrix took us on, and psychedelic lettering to capture the vibe of the era.

Constructed inside a mini MXR chassis, the Authentic Hendrix '68 Shrine Series Fuzz Face Distortion faithfully recreates two flavours of iconic Hendrix fuzz tones in a single compact unit - the aggressive silicone distortion that he used later in his career, and the thick, round germanium fuzz saturation from his early years. This pedal enables you to switch between the two unique voicings at the press of a button, and employs buffered bypass switching for a greater range of tones and compatibility with wah pedals like the Jimi Hendrix Cry Baby Wah, but also features a Buffer switch to offer true bypass switching to the tone purists out there!
