RIP Jo Dunne guitarist with '80s Girlband 'We've Got a Fuzzbox n We're Gonna Use It' known in the US as 'Fuzzbox.'
Jo died of cancer at the weekend aged just 43.
The band chalked up minor hits on both sides of the pond, reached No5 with their second album in the UK and were especially known for their tongue in cheek videos.
The girls got together in 2008 for a reunion at Birmingham Gay Pride and Fuzzbox reformed in 2010.

Goodbye Jo, thanks,

Sounds like something Dr Who flits about in or something cricketer's wear!

Distortech

Hi Angharad, tis a distortion effects pedal for electric guitars that produces a distinctive fuzzy sound and has at one time been used in recordings of the Dr Who theme tune but the bigger question is perhaps who is the fuzziest cricketer? x k-jo
