- www.jimdunlop.com All three in the same lineup demoed with a Gibson ES-335 , well, actually an ES-333, but who's counting? Love this demo...really shows the difference between the three fuzzies. These are gonna look great hanging on the Christmas Tree this year.
I have the silicon one. Great stoner rock tones and sounds the most aggressive to me. Awesome demo.
I like the dark blue one so much better than the others. Sounds fantastic with my Gretsch.
that silicon one kicks serious ass
Strangely, the silicon sounds the best to me.
why is that strange? many MANY ppl massively prefer the silicon versions of fuzz (me included)
the red one sounds really smooth, but my concern is that it would be lost in the mix in the real band situation
I think so
You're right. I owned one and sold it for that reason
The dark blue one for me! I'll take it!
the white knob red fuzz is my fave.
Uh oh now you've got to do a demo for the band of gypsys fuzz face!
Love the dark blue silicon one. Nice aggressive sound, nice and bright.
I played this blind then played it back to see which pedals were which, and I definitely made the right choice by picking up the silicon one. It's so aggressive
There are 2 silicon one - the dark blue and he light blue.
1. blue.
2. hendrix.
3. red.
The silicon is my fave, but all three together was the best tone.
It's tough to beat germanium (the red one) for smoothness and guitar-volume-knob cleanup. For me, being able to create varying degrees of grit via the guitar's volume is of the utmost importance. Plus, that creamy smoothness is more musical sounding. I'll take the red one (germanium).
the germanium is prolly the best imo it has that soothing blues feel
Would like to hear it with a Strat or similar single coil. Nice demo, thanks.
I know its years ago but very helpful I just was telling a friend I think germanium is the one he is seeking. Gone to share with him ,thank -you.
I see you now have all 3 pedals. Awesome, dude ! Sounds amazing !
I ordered the Germanium one tonight. The third blue one on the right in the video sounded pretty nice as well. I've been wanting to get a germanium fuzzface for a bit now. I like the mini because it can take an output power supply. This is the second fuzz I've ever purchased. My first is the "somewhat" sought after Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz. With this pedal you can get the Doors "Hello I love you" tone just right. Nice job on the demo like always Gearmandude!
Great comparison video man... and awesome boots!!
The Germanium is my fav
I'd take the blue pill
The blue pill or the slightly bluey green pill? 😂
@@Ben59910 Hahahaha :D The "silicon blue" one ;)
@@tiborrisko7349 I like them both, I just ordered the bluey green, there's something about it that I prefer ever so slightly. Not a huge fan of the red one, I think it could struggle in a mix
I have the Blue one... It almost sounds better than the Stone Bender. You simply can't go wrong with this pedal.
The dark blue silicon is the best!
I've got one, after originally going for the jimi one i returned it. it was by no means bad it just didnt work with my rig. i tried it with others and it was beautiful but it just didn't suit mine. i exchanged for there red one and i love it. the red one cleans up really well, its my mane pedal now. it can go from really crunchy, to really trebly rock n rolly stuff to out of control fuzz to laid back clean and everything in between with a simple twist. great wee pedal i must say
The red one sounds like it has a little wah effect in it, like a wah 1/4 cooked.
The germanium one sounded more muffled. I like the silicon ones more.
Thanks for the review! Helped a lot
Hendrix n Germanium great for Single Coil i guess so n The Silicone great for humbucker
I love the silly little landmine enclosures, but I can’t find a fuzz pedal that does anything for me!
For all the hype, I've never preferred germanium over silicon. I have an old turquoise blue, silicon which is my go-to fuzz.
Blue one for me more musical and top end if you need it .
I noticed the same thing. I wish there was a cross between the light blue and the red one, but I imagine w/ a little eqing after the red one you can make it sound just right. Just needs some brightening.
I like the germanium...but if I get one I'll have 6/8 red coloured pedals on my board.
The blue on tube right sounds the best. Not as muddy
Stickers
The Hendrix sounds best to me
I like the snake boots
Great Comparison!!!
Bless you for this review
Seems like the Silicon likes the humbuckers best.
jack black?
need to get me the red one, even left a space in my pedaltrain for it right next to the blue one.
I think I have the JH one under the Xmas tree right now GAS!!!!!
Great demo and playing of all 3 mini fuzzfaces.
Yesterday I bought the red Germanium FFM2.
After playing it I feel it's not worth what Dunlop charges for it.
There's other better sounding pedals on the market
that are equal or better for a lesser cost than $130.
I might be returning this in a couple days.
Jack black
Glad I'm not the only one who hears this
silicon
I like the red one, why oh why does the silicon version have to sound so much better in this video?
embrace the silly cone.
Well I like the red one so I got it from Germany they wanted £125.00 in the UK
I found a place in Germany for £91.00 including post and tax , it is the newer model the ffm2, the one with the light on the top and really like it with a LP standard getting some great fuzz out of it
i have the red germ. the tone will change with temp, sounds best to me at 71 degrees.
The blue has most snap and is a bit hotter, followed by hendrix, then the red is the softest. i like the early 90s black one that they put out before anybody wanted one. They can be found.
These have pretty good grandfunk kinda break up,the red one not so much..still trying to debug knthe messenger fuzz circuit my fav Flav for overtop mayhem..loved GF fuzztone next to Zappa in 1968,s tone..he used a heavily unbiased maesteo fz1...
The germanium sounds like it has less gain. I'd go for the silicon.
For me it is: the red one sound to muddy, the blue one al little bit to much treble, the gray just in between/perfect
HEY! He has the blue one turned up all the way and the others are only halfway!
The Jimi really cuts the difference. But, shoulda been purple (hey, red and blue do make purple.) Anyway, germ is moody and low, sil is serrated and vicious and Jimi is punchy and cutting. All three engaged was belching fire.
I vote : the blue, for the fuzz the less expensive is always better.
Red one had a nice Velcro sound to me... Deep blue is slightly too bright and harsh and the far left blue is a good all rounder
10/10 boots
If you preferred the Ge, do yourself a favor , spend the extra and go Analog man Sunface or JHS Pollinator,- much better components.Si, the BoG, Hendrix,- check out EQD and Caitlinbread.Buy once, spend more time playing...
Is that Jack Black?
Which is your favorite, of all the fuzzies? Big, small, and signature models. Which one wins out over all of them?
so all the mini fuzzes sound alittle more compressed
germanium
I'm glad Dunlop decided to add a power supply with this series, I hate batteries only. I like the Blue one but it is no match for the Joe Bonamassa Fuzz :-)
I love the tone of the blue silicon mini but won't buy one unless they make a full-sized version
You want full sized versions of miniature sized versions of full sized pedals?
Si > Jimi >> Ge
Dang, why is the Germanium more expensive? It sounds slightly weaker and flatter than the other two. I already have a Hendrix (full-size) and I wanted to get the Germanium mini to have the option of both sounds but it seems like it's not worth the extra money.
***** This week I tried both the FFM1 and FFM2. I bought the former based on videos, but after trying it out for a few minutes I discovered there was a hideous volume drop that made it practically unusable; no dynamics, weak cleanup, etc. I upgraded to the Germanium model and it works much better, but probably not as well as the Hendrix model (of which I have a full size).
Can't tell if I like Silicon or Hendrix better.
silicon is great if you wanna sound like the legendary Eric Johnson and do Cliffs Of Dover
the key to doing his cliffs of dover tone is to go with a silicon fuzz face and a voodoo labs giggity to replicate the violin sounding guitar tone he gets from his BK Butler Tube Driver
Do you feel these mini fuzzes sound better with the volume dimed?
0:33
0:41
0:48
The Hendrix is the worst in my opinion
The germanium is a close second
The silicon sounds great.
But honestly they all sound good with a little treating of your guitar settings
Everyone is talking about the volume drop with the silicon, but I didnt notice any in the video... The silicon is my favorite here, but I almost always play with single coils. I really dont like the sound of the germanium. Should I get the Hendrix or the silicon?
Bit late but for the record, the silicon sound awesome with Strat single coil pickup !
How would the Germanium fuzz face sound with a Fender DRRI? I like the warm sound and I want to know if it would sound good with my Fender amp
I have the FFM1
Volume with pedal on and cranked is lower than when pedal is off
(clean tone is louder than fuzz), making the pedal useless to me.
Too bad, because it sounds really good stacked with my King of Tone
try it with a coloursound boost in a loop :)
germanium sounds the best to me. I have the Hendrix one and it has to be practically dimed to sound good. Severe drop in my guitars volume if I don't have it set past 1:00. Silicon. I played a US Stratocaster Standard through a Fender HRDLX. Haven't tried it with humbuckers yet. Paid $50 for it in like new condition so I can't complain lol
Germanium when roll off volume thru axe truly clean?
the little darker blue one.. is that one silicon or germanium? what is different about the electronics of that one? I have not seen that one in music stores yet..or tried it..
The dark blue one has two matched silicon (BC108) transistors. It's the most "aggressive" sounding out of the 3.
Easily silicon for me.
Some people say, put the worst battery and it will sound better.
Yes, and there is actually something to it. A lot of people laughed at Eric Johnson when he said he could hear a difference depending on the type of batteries.
And there is a good explanation for this. A new type battery and a power supply has a very low internal resistance - less than 1 ohm - where the old cheap batteries
can have up to 1000 ohms resistance.
That will limit the battery's ability to release power quickly, and that will of course influence the sound ... So no real magic there.
will it sound good through a solid state amp? just askin
dude you sound like jack black
german dude is much cooler bro dont fuck
what patch cables are those? thanks!
What happens if you use one of these over a distorted amp? Does the tone go to all hell?
These come alive when you put them on top of a crunch channel
My ears can't tell the difference.
Maybe I need another cup of coffee.
Red is darker, the blue ones are brighter and more hairy.
Baghuul lmao @hairy!
Choose your favourite color.
Stu's blues nah have a few beers and then listen to em again
what was that first song
He sounds like jack black
gearmanndude is jack black . lol
Fuzzt!
Blue🔥😍
I don't like the red one
на какой хрен тебе ковёр родом из ссср
i prefer the Silicon fuzz over the germanium and hendrix because the Silicon has that real sweet Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover sound to it and even eric himself has his own signature dunlop silicon fuzz face
lovely demo!
Anybody knows what Keith Richards used live to play Midnight Rambler?
i like the blue for sheer nastiness but it doesn't clean up with the volume roll back. Of course the Jimi sounds the best duh😂❤
Why did you use an Es-335 into the fuzzes? The Strat-Fizz Face connection is better known and seems to be have been more common. Are there any ES-335 players of note (pun intended) known to pair it up with a fuzz face or fuzz of any type?
Lee Ritenour uses fuzz sometimes, although im not sure if he uses a fuzzface
+stratowhore well josh home uses a dot sometimes, (not a 335 but he was proving a point)
Eric Johnson often used his 335 into his rig which comprehends a fuzz face
so all the mini fuzzes sound alittle more compressed
