Why Dunlop Mini Fuzz Faces Are Awesome

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
  • 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.

      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?

      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*

    Hey Josh. I really like how you approach some of your riffs in a very melodic and constructed way including some elements of dissonance with some bends and rough tones. I don’t know if you know Patrick Walden who used to be the guitar player of the Babyshambles on their first album “Down in Albion”. If you don’t, check that album and listen to the tones and the very elaborate yet dissonent guitar playing. I think it could interest you. Cheers from Berlin. Yann

      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.

    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
      @trentkraemer7109 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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
      @toniusheidemann5771 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      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
