Second one Im not too crazy about, but the first one looked very interesting. Dunlop is not known for making dead on clones of older pedals like Fulltone and tons of other companies do, but the octave pedal got me curious. What do you guys think about these?

Re: New Hendrix Pedals

Every time I see a "new" Hendrix product I can't help but thinking about a "new" 2Pac song.

It's not the same, but it's close enough.

Re: New Hendrix Pedals

Hmm, what do I think???

-I think that Dunlop has cashed in on Jimi's name WAY too much already

-I think that the last batch of JH pedals from Dunlop were terrible units at best

-I think since they (or at least the FF is) handwired they will cost 2 or 3 times what they are actually worth

- I think that the Octavio look scool but to be honest, I would bet that a pair of Fulltone boxes wouldbe much better and as Joe said for a LOT less money you could DIY them or for that matter go straight to the man that Jimim went to and get some Roger Mayer stuff...

Re: New Hendrix Pedals

Some forum brother criticized me before, but anyone considering those pedals should check out the Digitech Jimi Hendrix Experience pedal. It nails all of Jimi's tones in ways those Dunlop pedals won't.
