Description

The JHM2 is a unique fuzz with an otherworldly sound, first heard on Hendrix's "Purple Haze" solo and later in the Band of Gypsys. Using the same transformer, diodes and silicon transistors, the Dunlop JHM2 Hendrix Octavio can produce clashing overtones and octave-up effects or punish your amp with a thick, splatty fuzz that blooms unlike any other. Like a vintage unit, the Tribute Series Octavio reveals its octave sweet spot when the the fuzz is turned down or when using a guitar's neck pickup, resulting in a dynamic and expressive tone. Plus, this limited Edition pedal from Dunlop features true bypass switching, 9V battery or DC operation and a legendary piece of artwork by John Van Hamersveld.

Did you achieve the soaring, fuzzy, echoed-out solo on “The Sparrow” by doubling it with a synth?

Hinds: "That’s a Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Octavio pedal through an Ibanez Tube Screamer over a Monster Effects Mastortion pedal into a Fender Princeton Reverb. It sounds doubled, but it’s not."
