Dunlop Jimi Hendrix JH3-S Octave Fuzz

This is the sought-after "Wedge" version from the 1990s Jimi Hendrix System series. Unlike the modern mass-produced plastic or small-box versions, the JH3-S features a heavy-duty cast iron chassis and high-quality internal components designed to nail the authentic 1960s "Octavia" tones. It uses a transformer-coupled circuit to create a thick, silicon-based fuzz with a prominent high-octave doubling effect.

The pedal is famous for its touch-sensitivity—if you roll back your guitar's volume, it cleans up into a gritty, ring-mod style texture. When wide open, it produces the aggressive, harmonically rich screaming fuzz heard on "Band of Gypsys" recordings. This unit is in great physical shape, works perfectly, and is a must-have for any player looking for the real-deal Hendrix psychedelic sound without spending thousands on an original 60s unit.
