11 captures in both ToneX v2 and NAM A2 formats of the red Dunlop JDF2 Fuzz Face, featuring its vintage-style germanium transistor circuit. For those using Genome, a Paradex model is also included. Details are in the thumbnail above.

With its unmistakable oversized red enclosure and just two controls, the Dunlop JDF2 Fuzz Face recreates the character of the original germanium Fuzz Faces of the late 1960s. Built around a pair of PNP germanium transistors, the JDF2 delivers a thick, warm and distinctly vintage fuzz, ranging from slightly ragged, gritty breakup to full-bodied saturation with a rich, woolly low end and singing sustain. Its soft attack, expressive response and slightly unruly character make it particularly appealing for psychedelic rock, blues and classic rock.

The Fuzz Face sound is inseparable from the legacy of Jimi Hendrix, whose early recordings helped establish it as one of rock's defining effects. Other celebrated Fuzz Face players include David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), Eric Johnson, Joe Bonamassa, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Philip Sayce.
