Vintage circuitry with modern modifications

When the earliest Fuzz Faces were introduced to the guitar world, their circuitries were well known for the germanium transistors that contributed to a warm, vintage fuzz tone that was popularized by guitar legends such as Jimi Hendrix and David Gilmour. Silicon transistors were used in the later editions of the pedal, but they provided a harsher sound. The Dunlop Germanium Fuzz Face Mini allows you to capture that classic germanium fuzz tone.

Pedalboard-friendly housing

One of the inconveniences of incorporating a traditional Fuzz Face pedal in a pedalboard is its unusually large housing size. On many occasions, guitarists and bassists would have to sacrifice one or more pedals that they love in order to insert a Fuzz Face in the signal chain. With this improved, pedalboard-friendly housing design, size is no longer an issue.

Dunlop Germanium Fuzz Face Mini Distortion Pedal Features:
  • Circuitry based on mid-'60s Fuzz Faces with slightly mismatched germanium transistors
  • Legendary Fuzz Face tones in a pedalboard-friendly housing
  • Status LED, AC power jack, and battery door
Classic germanium fuzz tone in a smaller box, you can't go wrong with the Dunlop Germanium Fuzz Face Mini Distortion Pedal!

Exceptional Fuzz Face!

I've owned many Fuzz pedals and all are great in their own right, however most of them are limited to the one special thing they do. This pedal separates itself from the others in this regard. It's clean tones are fantastic, the edgy tone's between clean and full Fuzz are fantastic as well. The full blown Fuzz tones is so nice and warm (think Cream). This is the pedal that kicked my BC 108 Fuzz Face off my board. It's that good and useful!

Kudos to Dunlop for their line of Fuzz Face Minis!

Dunlop's series of pedal-board-friendly-sized Fuzz Faces give players a selection of several historic iterations of this, arguably the greatest, of all guitar pedals. I chose the Germanium FFM2 because of it's old-school flavor. It'll change from a dangerous-sounding spitting and splattering to a warm, pleasant grunge, with the turn of your guitar's volume knob. Placing it early in the pedal chain is important, but it plays well with the pedals ahead of it. Love it!

Everything you'd expect out of a Ge Fuzz.

First the bad: Bit of excess glue on the edges of the rubber stomp pad. The light on it is annoyingly bright.

The good: Only tested this with my offset mustang with 60s style strat pickups, Laney 10w tube amp set to max gain. Volume and gain slightly backed off from max on the fuzzface. Volume knob on the guitar goes from clean to dirty to fuzz, and the clean tones/mild over drive tones are beautiful. Warm, lush, articulate. Retains the quality of the strings and individual notes very well. Very dynamic. Fuzz is amazing classic fuzz. Not much to say here, you've heard this sound before. Stacks very well in front of the dude. That combo can get pretty savage. Stacks well in front of Julia. Have only operated it on battery thus far, was expecting this pedal to add a lot of noise but that is not the case. Less noisy than my other drive pedals (on battery at least).

With guitar vol maxed on the neck pick up, the fuzz almost becomes muddy, but doesn't get there on my guitar. I suspect it might not be a good pairing for a darker setup.

Recommend for classic fuzz tones/colorful clean and overdrive tones on low output single coils.

And of course, Sweetwater's service impeccable as always.

very happy

I have a silicon fuzz pedal from another manufacturer and its harsh, shrilly, "plasticky" tone sounds terrible and is not usable. It was a waste of money and it will never be on my board. Unlike that other manufacturer"s pedal, I am able to dial in a good sound with this germanium FFM2. A little bit of tinkering with the knobs was required to get there. It's not all good. A good sound with a fuzz pedal isn't automatic. I've learned that the guitar"s volume is rolled back most of the time when using a fuzz pedal, except for lead stuff. It is amazing how rolling back the guitar volume changes the dynamics. The gear nuts say that this germanium pedal is strong in the midrange. To me, strong mids is always a good thing. I boost the high end just a tad with a GE-7 and it sounds like a million bucks! My strat + medium gain tube amp + GE-7 + the FFM2 = heaven!! I was after that Billy G fuzz sound and I found it with this pedal. Adding chorus into the mix will help nail his Sam and Dave cover and Pearl Necklace killer leads. I think that this is the first time that I've ever given a product five stars.
