John Frusciante’s Dallas/Dunlop Fuzz Face
John used a Fuzz Face pedal early in his career, around 1991. Unfortunately, it’s unclear how extensively he used it or whether it was featured during the Blood Sugar Sex Magik studio sessions or just in live performances. Additionally, since there are no known photos of him with the pedal, it’s uncertain whether he used a vintage model or a newer version.
I have an Ibanez wah-wah pedal, because it has a wider range than the others. I use a Fuzzface and a Boss distortion pedal, and an MXR phase shifter, and that’s about it.

I remember that I saw at some point in time a video of JF using a red Germanium Fuzzface,but that´s the only thing that I could recognize about it because the video had eally bad quality
If you happen to come across that same video ever again, please remember to post it here. I can’t find any visual reference of him using a specific model. Cheers, Dan.
