Authentic Hendrix™ ‘68 Shrine Series
Band of Gypsys™
Fuzz Face® Distortion
This special edition of the Band of Gypsys Fuzz pays tribute to the legendary
Jimi Hendrix with a custom finish that remixes prolific and celebrated rock
artist John Van Hamserveld’s famous 1968 Shrine Auditorium concert poster art.
Packed into an MXR mini housing, this pedal is based on a mysterious Fuzz Face
Distortion that Jimi Hendrix used at several iconic shows between 1969 and
1970, most notably the historic Band of Gypsys performance. Red with white
knobs, this particular fuzz sounded like a completely different animal from
any of the other Fuzz Face pedals in his arsenal, snarling with an aggressive,
biting tone.
