JH-F1 JIMI HENDRIX

FUZZ FACE

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
Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face is a meticulously faithful
reproduction of the 1969-70 Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face that Jimi
used on classic albums like Band of Gypsys. Dunlop’s
engineering department examined hoards of vintage Fuzz
Faces, 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, down to it’s hand-wired brown circuit board with
circuitry carefully matched to the original specs. The look is
100% accurate too — that 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.

DIRECTIONS

To set up the JH-F1, plug your instrument into the Input (IN) jack and your amplifier into the
Output (OUT) jack. Start with the Volume knob 2/3 of the way up (2 o’clock position), and
the Fuzz knob all the way down (counter-clockwise). Turn on the effect with the footswitch
toggle. Then gradually raise the Fuzz knob to increase the amount of fuzzed signal mixed
with your clean signal. Experiment with the different settings, stopping when the desired
blend of fuzz is reached.
Once your Fuzz level is set, adjust the Volume knob for the desired output volume. Toggle
the footswitch on and off, and compare the volume with and without the fuzz effect. For
many playing situations, matching the two volume levels is desirable, especially if you’ll be
switching the fuzz tone in and out while playing. However, you can also use the Volume knob
to BOOST the overall volume for a solo, by adjusting it so that the fuzzed volume is louder
than the clean signal.
If the fuzz tones are unpleasant or breaking up, it is possible that you’ve set the Volume knob
too high on the JH-F1. Try backing the Fuzz knob all the way down (counter-clockwise). If
the unpleasant distortion persists, it’s because you’re overdriving your pre-amp with too hot
a signal. Turn the Volume knob down, the re-introduce the desirable fuzz tones into the
effect with the Fuzz knob.
(For especially hairy lead guitar tones, combine the Fuzz Face effect with any Crybaby Wah
Wah pedal!)
