- Buffer Switch for perfect compatibility with wah pedals, notably the Cry Baby Jimi Hendrix, or true true hardwire bypass when disabled.
- "1968 Shrine Auditorium" aesthetics designed by John Van Hamersveld, a direct tribute to Jimi Hendrix's sound and universe.
- Simple and effective controls (Fuzz, Level) for effortless integration on any pedalboard.
A Modern Tribute to a 1968 Icon
This "Shrine Series" edition pays homage to the psychedelic poster and aesthetics of 1968 while celebrating the Fuzz Face circuit popularized by Jimi Hendrix. Within the Authentic Hendrix range, it condenses the spirit of the legendary transistors into a compact enclosure, ready for today's stage while respecting vintage DNA.
For Whom and Which Styles
Designed for blues-rock, classic rock, psychedelic, and hard rock guitarists, this pedal excels from studio to stage. Beginners will benefit from immediate settings, while advanced players will appreciate its sensitivity to guitar volume and ease of stacking with a wah or light overdrive to sculpt expressive, singing leads.
Key Features and Playability
Two fuzz voices selectable via a mini-switch: the
germanium mode offers organic compression and vintage warmth, while the
silicon mode delivers more bite, stability, and gain. The
Buffer switch preserves highs and clarity in complex chains or before a wah; when disabled, the pedal switches to
true hardwire bypass. The
Fuzz and
Level knobs cover from light crunch to thick saturation, with a clear status LED, 6.35 mm input/output jacks, and a standard 9 V DC power supply for plug-and-play integration.
Sound
The Shrine Series Fuzz Face stands out with a velvety attack, great touch responsiveness, and superb "cleaning up" via the guitar's volume knob. The germanium mode breathes warmth, thickness, and harmonic richness for enveloping rhythms and creamy solos. The silicon mode adds precision, sharpness, and enhanced definition, ideal for cutting through the mix. This palette covers the iconic fuzz textures associated with Hendrix and favored by many guitar heroes, with lively and musical dynamics.
