SUMMER NAMM 2019: Dunlop has launched a sextet of new pedals, including four Authentic Hendrix mini pedals, as well as new signature Cry Baby wahs for bluesman of the moment Gary Clark Jr. and Pantera legend Dimebag Darrell.
The four Authentic Hendrix '69 Psych Series offerings downsize Jimi's iconic Fuzz Face, Octavio, Uni-Vibe and Band Of Gypsys Fuzz tones into more compact enclosures, complete with artwork by ILOVEDUST, who previously worked on MXR's limited-edition Phase 90 and Carbon Copy designs.
Read on for the skinny on each new pedal from Dunlop, and head on over to the company’s site for more.
