In a scale 1st - Si Panties Blue : Great clean up while rolling back the volume pot & awesome brightness 2nd - Ge Red : Great clean up while rolling back the volume pot but too dark 3nd - Dark Blue : Awesome brightness but doesn't clean so well. Ps.: I have a classic red one, the big, from late 90s. It's an awesome pedal. I don't find it too dark because I have a brazilian ivory scale strat and set the amp EQ like bass:3, mid:8,5, tre:6. So it's just about setting up your gear. Great video btw

great job comparing these (I mean it's obvious how to do it but most people are too busy showing off to play the same riff through each pedal) I have the red and dark blue ones. My favorite is the red (germanium) but it clearly loses this shootout to me. Both the red and blue sound a lot brighter through my amps so the red sounds more natural and the blue can get a little harsh in the treble. I love them both, however. At first I thought the Hendrix was clearly the best but as this went on I started focusing in on an upper mid-range hump in the Hendrix that was a bit unpleasant to me. I ended up thinking the EQ profile of the blue silicon pedal was nicer (with this setup). I hope to own all varieties of the fuzz face when all is said and done. They are very affordable and fantastic. Oh, one last thing: my germanium cleans up a lot better and you can hear that here. (The Hendrix seems to clean up similarly to the germanium red). The red one cleans up to an almost jazzy tone. The blue silicon never entirely cleans up -- maybe if you pick incredibly gently while the pickups are turned 90% of the way down -- but it cleans up to a tone similar to the Beatles' Revolver/Sgt. Pepper guitars. Which is great!

Well I have the fulltone 70's silicon fuzz and i like that,which is like a fuzzface clone. I've also got a big muff, but thats kind of it's own pedal altogether. Depends what you want in a fuzz. I tried these out today at a music store and prefered the blue one, I like a tighter more high end sound, but you may prefer the low end growl of a more germanium fuzz. Anything based on the fuzzface circuit is usually a winner, and um earthquaker devices check them out but expect 300 for one of those!!!

I bought both the silicon and germanium models and quickly returned the former as it had a horrible volume drop. I had to turn it to practically 3 o'clock to match my bypass signal, anything less than that was completely useless. This was not an issue with the FFM2. I also have a full-size Hendrix which does not have that problem, so it must have been something with the FM1. Also noticed it had a different (personally preferable) sound with a buffered pedal before AND after it, just a note to any potential buyers.
@boilingaction10 жыл бұрын
A " pedal switcher"? I always ask myself the question if I have to many pedals in a row if then the signal gets weaker. Does this pedal switcher solves that problem?,... or is there actually not such a problem of any loss?
@jameshaire40339 жыл бұрын
Signal path length degrades tone over longer distances, so having more pedals and longer cords definitely causes loss. True bypass pedals do this; 'buffered' pedals attempt to correct this problem. Having buffered pedals at different points in your chain can help combat this. It's actually not that big of a problem depending on your gear and your ear. Once you're in a full band mix, it matters even less (unless you have some really bad tone-sucking pedal). A pedal switcher as shown takes pedals (and their patch cables) out of the path while inactive in order to keep the path as short as possible. This can also be useful for keeping different combinations of effects together on one combined switch so that you don't have to try to hit, for instance, three pedals all at relatively the same time for the solo sound you wanted to kick on.

I'd be inclined to try out the blue silicon fuzz face if it was in the big housing, the innards look far too complicated for a pedal that should consist of two transistors, four resistors, three capacitors and two pots: in fact you could do away with the fuzz pot and just control it from your guitar's volume.
