FUZZ FACE MASTER
no just kidding, but i did buy 2 of them. if you like jimi hendrix's sound or even a recent band like the white stripes youll love this pedal. as far as the sound being like the original i dont know. some misinformed people have said that now the fuzz faces are made with new harsh sounding silcon transistors. instead of the smoother sounding original germananium transistors. take it from me, the fuzz face is made with nkt275 germananium trannys. they even have a big G printed on them. and i confirmed this with a electronic supply that nkt275 tranny is a germananium tranny. i also switched out the nkt275 trannys with some other germ.trannys and the sound was simular. complaints : 1)the in/out inputs are backwards. all modern pedals input on right and output on the left. a 5 minute fix 2)youll need to buy their ac adapter that goes on the battery connector. or use batteries. love this pedal!!! also check out guitargeek.com they have an easy face pedal you can build. very simple

Not the best out there
The Dunlop fuzz is a decent pedal. It's not the best and its not the worst. It creates a nice fuzzy sound when playing lower notes. And when playing chords it sounds excellent. I have a couple problems with mine. First is a mechanical error. When switching from fuzz to clean it sometimes produces no sound at all when I hit the switch....which makes this pedal a no-go for live shows. Secondly, this pedal, at least with my setup, has so little sustain. There is no way to crank out a solo unless you run another gain pedal in front of it. The notes just drown out after a couple seconds. Also, picking low to high notes, you won't even hear the high notes....if your looking for a fuzz pedal, do your research. There are better ones out there that cost more, but are worth it.

This is what I want to buy and this is a cool fuzz pedal. I guess I found the right one and I know the right one comes along in every shape and form. This would really go good with the guitars I have and want to have. It gives you that feeling from back in the 1960's when fuzz, wah-wah, vibrato, etc. started to revolutionize the guitar scene. Jimi Hendrix used plenty of pedals in his day when he performed on stage or in the studio even on television. This is a groovy pedal I would like to have to go with a new Wah-Wah Pedal that i might buy one of these days once I start making some cash then I will be all set to go with just about everything there is under the sun.

Good For What It Is...

So, if you are trying to nail early Hendrix type tones, like woofy, and amp is blowing up sounding stuff, it does that well. It does not get close to later Hendrix tones, but neither does any Dunlop Fuzz... You have to go Roger Mayer Axis Fuzz for any thing at or later than Bold As Love... just talking example tones though. has great characteristic clean up from your guitars volume control (it never gets completely clean though but whatevs) it doesn't have loads of sustain, but still a good amount. more like overdrive sustain with the sound of woofy distortion. definitely not in the same family as a ZVex Fuzz Factory... it was originally designed to simulate Speaker Breakup type distortion, not tube distortion, and this is exactly what it sounds like...
Just Like Pompeii

If you've seen Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii, you've witnessed the awesomeness of this pedal. My idols, Hendrix and Gilmour,used this pedal to achieve their signature tone. This device couldn't be easier, plug it in, mess with the knobs a little, then jam out. With this, a nice stratocaster, and a good amp, you're one step closer to the best.
The buzz about the Fuzz

The Fuzz Face is a large pedal. The sheer size of it takes you back to its 60's roots. One thing to be sure, this pedal will not get kicked over on its side or fold under pressure. THe all metal housing and low center of gravity make it more like a tank than a traditional pedal. I like the primative sound that the Fuzz face pedal puts out, however with its current setup, Marshall MG 50, the effect know needs to be turned in the 50%-75% position to get any of the desired effect. Battery location and cahanging is a bit of a pain since you need to unscrew the bottow to get to it, and no option for an auzillary power supply does keep this pedal "true" to its vintage heritage. The sound that the FF puts out is a timewarp to the summer of love. Jimi picked a winner when he chose this pedal. This is a great edition to your pedal collection. You'll find yourself wanting to play every song you know with the new sound and become inspired to learn more or create your own.
