Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face Mini : Classic fuzz - but either on or off!

3 years ago

So basically the pedals works best if you turn both controls to full and leave them there, controlling the sound with a volume pedal or your guitar's volume.

If you do this straight into a tube amp, it's classic, bright and goes from a chime to a full on vintage fuzz. Classic sound. 10/10.

But that's all it does. If you roll off the fuzz, it becomes too warm and muddy, and if you roll off the volume it misses some character. But why would you want to?! You know the sound it makes and no other pedal does it better. But don't expect a huge variation (unless controlled by your own input volume).

It's also quite cute, smaller than I expected but stable and I bought it over the full-size fuzz as it has a DC input (the big one does not - I probably would've gone for that if it had, but that said, the mini takes much less real estate on pedal boards...!).

I've tried literally hundreds of OD/D/Fuzz pedals and this is one of the best if you like the sound.
