DUNLOP JBF3 JOE BONAMASSA SIGNATURE FUZZ FACE

Peachy fuzz

FOR: In-your-face tone. The Fuzz Face has become nearly as much a tradition among rock’s most iconic guitarists as the wah-wah itself. Now you can add blues master Joe Bonamassa to an impressive list of Fuzz aficionados that includes the likes of Jimi Hendrix, David Gilmour and Eric Johnson. A slight departure from the typical reissues of this famed fuzz box, the JBF3 was specially tuned for Bonamassa’s Les Paul-driven sound by pedal guru Jorge Tripps. This incarnation spins a magical web of tones as you tease it with varying amounts of input gain from your guitar. Backing off ever so slightly on an overdriven amp delivers wonderful singing tones at the top of the neck.

NOT FOR: Distortion-phobes.
