JIM DUNLOP / JHMS4 BAND OF GYPSYS FUZZ

The distinctive art design was inspired by the famous posters that adorned the walls of the Shrine Auditorium, a concert venue in Los Angeles in February 1968.

Simon Berndt of One Horse Town Illustration has specially adapted a poster design by John Van Hamersveld, an artist who, like Jimi Hendrix, is a leading figure in pop culture and the hippie movement. The design is based on the floral pattern that symbolises the hippie movement of the late 60s, when Jimi was active.

Housed in a compact housing, the JHMS4 BAND OF GYPSYS? FUZZ faithfully reproduces the fuzz-faced sound heard on Jimi's classic Band of Gypsies album.
The change from the aggressive, biting fuzz sound characteristic of silicon transistors to a clean tone that follows the guitar's volume control, sealing the fuzz face characteristics that helped the Band of Gypsies era performances.
A TONE knob has been added for more fine- control.
