Why Dunlop Mini Fuzz Faces Are Awesome

One of my favorite pedals ever created is the Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face. It's amazing, it’s iconic, but it's hard to fit on a pedal board, since this is arguably one of the largest pedal enclosures ever made. Don’t get me wrong. Jimi Hendrix loved it. I love it. I still want to use it. I just wish it was smaller, you know?
Well, the Genie from Aladdin (you can decide whether you want him to be played by Robin Williams, Will Smith, or James Monroe Iglehart) must be lurking around here somewhere, because my wish just came true. Dunlop made it come true, via the Fuzz Face Mini series.

I only have one rule when it comes to fuzz. Don't get one with a picture of Jimi on. He sees you, and he judges.

[@mattgilbert7347]

That's the thing I hate about my Moen Shaky Jimi Univibe. Sounds good, looks terrible. Why did they have to put his image on it? And why is a shade of puke-purple? I have to cover it with a napkin otherwise I can't play.

[@thomassmith5291]

"Puke-purple"?

[@Severinate]

@@thomassmith5291 Too much Ribena?.

[@shawnmcvey7789]

My rule is avoid anything Hendrix ever used. There have been more than enough strat + univibe + fuzz face + wah into a Marshall guitar players. Robin Trower and SRV both tried. SRV had to go full Texas to get over it and Robin Trower is mainly only known by a specific type of guitarist. The only thing worse than having a watered down Hendrix rig is trying to dress like him. No one will ever be that cool or smooth, and his style was forward thinking *at the time*

A C It’s not the same as the Hendrix one. Even within BC108 circuits, there are differences with gain, and cleanup. The buffered option BC108 is just different, whether it’s a 108B or 108C, or the leakage is different o the trannies. I have both, and I try out BC108 circuits whenever I come across them, looking for one that gets as glassy as my JHF1.

Some generous nut out there is sending you the pedals you don’t already have.

[@OgamiItto70]

Fuzzes, to me, are like CS-3's: impossible for me to get a good sound out of. They always go splattery and boomy on me. Overdrives and distortions are for me, especially tube ones. I suspect that the people who are getting good sounds from them are 1.) Keeping the "fuzz" control fairly low 2.) Getting a notable amount of compression, either from a hot-running tube amp or with a pedal or both 3.) Using single-coil pickups. The secret of my lack of success might be my fondness for relatively high-output humbuckers. I don't think they're really compatible with fuzzes.

[@trentkraemer7109]

4. Fine tune you playing to the support strengths of the fuzz. It can get messy really quickly, so using double stops and avoiding complex chords is helpful. It’s got the aggressiveness of a distortion but not the same dynamics. Think palm muting, it doesn’t sound the same between a distortion and fuzz. Aside from that, people say that fuzz pedals need to go first in the signal chain due to signal impedance. None of the fuzz’s I have seem to need that but I hear it especially often for the fuzz face.

[@toniusheidemann5771]

No. 3 is close. Usually, Fuzz faces can deal better with single coils, except the Bonamassa FFM which is designed to suit his vintage humbuckers. Most HB players use a Tone Bender fuzz instead, like Jimmy Page etc. As for No 1: usually you dial both volume and fuzz on full and then roll back your guitar's volume knob until you get the sound you want.

Hey, I have a question, which is a very interesting topic I guess. When should I buy a pedalboard? Should I buy a pedalboard with a little extra-space instead of a new pedal when I have like 3-4 pedals, or should I get all of the pedals I`m planning to buy and then buy a pedalboard? Which option is the best? It`s a pretty difficult choice when I don`t have much money, it`s uncomfortable to carry all of my pedals in a guitar bag and a backpack. But at the same time, I don`t want to spend that much money on a pedalboard now, because I can buy 1 or 2 new pedals for that price and improve my sound. What should I do? Any advice? I think I`m not the only one who faces that choice

Hey Illia, it's all about what you want! If the inconvenience is too much for you, then save up for a pedal board. If you're ok with having them all separate, stick with backpacking them. The other option is to make your own pedal board. You can even just use plywood. There's no real rules! Thanks! - Zach

My band of Gypsies mini fuzz face is rad

[@rustyl.6358]

My JHS Muffuletta pedal covers so many fuzz types, along with my EQD Park fuzz, and a DS-1, I think I'm covered. If I got a mini fuzz from this video, it's be the black Joe mini to use with humbucker guitars I own/play.

These special effects are getting out of hand. How do we even know what's real anymore?

...grunge+Hendrix=Gish, the under appreciated first Smashing Pumpkins album...

[@ionjohnny]

Hendrix as a grunge dude? So, like, Mike McCready then.

[@beneten6462]

YESSSS I’ve been thinking about buying one of these mini fuzz faces. THIS IS THE VIDEO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! Thanks!!

[@quadrogong1111]

Wazzup w that Eric Johnson mini FF? They gonna release that??

[@yeahrightbear8883]

Kind of wish they came in square version too.

My friend Ken had an old full size red one, which he used on bass, and it sounded nuts.

[@guitarnerd_luke]

Damn, they all sound great. I think the Bonamassa is my fav...but...could work with all of them. (The fuzz on my board is the MXR Super Badass Variac fuzz)

[@wrencormier513]

I’ve got a Behringer SF300

[@jordanpeacock8774]

You wear some of the most awesome shirts I've ever seen on your show! Where can I find shirts like that?

My favorite fuzz face type thingy is the tweak fuzz by Seymour dunkin . The switched cap before the circuit makes it so versatile, like a dirty boy but 900$ cheaper. But I'm going to get a mini fuzz face, because of this video

[@dreyn7780]

Oh no control yourself! Was this an opportunity for you was it?

[@tungtobak]

If you wanna imagine Hendrix was a grunge artist I advice you listen to the band Hater and their 1993 album with the same name.

[@robertmailloux3720]

I like drummers who can play at low volumes like this person . Most drummers hit too hard when jamming and I guess I don't have to explain the rest.

My favorite: the MXR Classic 108 Fuzz: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIubZoivbKeBl8U

[@nathanjasper512]

Ha ha, I wish it was smaller. Thats NOT what she said.

[@onerandombruh]

My wife got me the Hendrix Experience mini-fuzz and I was so excited for it that the first thing I did was run it with my bass, plugged to my Fender Bass Amp... Motörhead sound, right there...

[@vintagepipesnightmares]

It has 4-5 parts inside. How can you say that is crazy cheap for 130-150$. You lost the connection with the real world.

[@axelbergstrom3644]

Grunge Jimi Hendrix? I think you mean J Mascis... But y'know, from Seattle

[@Rumpole1000]

Only recently found this channel. This guy has a great sence of humour. Really entertaining while informative. Subscribed.

Anyone know any significant differences between the Dunlop Band of Gypsies Fuzz Face and the MXR Band of Gypsies pedals? Roughly the same price. Same source company. The MXR one adds a tone knob, but are they other wise the exact same thing? I like the look of the Fuzz Face, but the form factor and Tone options of the MXR are tough to ignore. Google has been surprisingly unhelpful.

[@stilwel]

I SO wish I had an Eric Johnson Fuzz Face Mini...that would complete me. There's definitely a picture out on the Google of one. They're holding out on us!! I'm being oppressed!

[@hearpalhere]

Oh man, that Owner of A Lonely Heart jam was ridiculously funky, I loved it. Who was playing the bass?
