JDF2 Classic Fuzz Face Pedal Review

An Amazing Fuzz and More...

The Fuzz Face is such a very versatile pedal! Really surprised me the first time I played through it. With your volume rolled back it has this pretty cool overdrive tone perfect for some rhythm with the tastiest of dirt on it and then dime it and push the guitar and it gives you that glorious Fuzz you crave and need. Provides amazing 60s Hendrixian and 70s style Fuzz but I found… read more it also very useful for a Black Keys/Garage Blues rock kind of vibe. I've always wanted one of these and believe me there is a reason that so many of the great guitarists of lore have had one of those cool round fuzz pedals at their shoes.

This will be your favorite pedal for sure...

I finally broke down and bought one of the FuzzFace pedals and I was so surprised when I plugged into it. It sounds great on nearly any setting and is very easy to adjust to get the tone you want. There is no muddy distortion and/or confusing adjustments with this pedal. It just makes your guitar sound very cool and fun to play. I have used mine with many different guitars and amps… read more and it always is very cool and sounds great. You won't be disappointed with this pedal. I bought this model because it uses a plug-in power source or a 9 volt battery. Then I read on a forum where they said that the daisy chain plug-in power sources were really too much juice for this and that the FuzzFace runs better/cooler with just the 9 volt battery so, that's what I use. If I had it to do over again, I would just buy the original. You'll be happy when you get any one of them. Rock on!!!!!

A wild, wooly beast

I've been playing through a Dunlop germanium Fuzz Face as my main dirt pedal for the past 6 years or so. Ever since I got my hands on one, I've been hooked. It has helped define the sound of my band. I play a Les Paul with a Pearly Gates in the bridge and a Shaw Humbucker in the neck. The two controls on the Fuzz Face are always dimed and the pedal is on 99% of the time. I use the… read more guitar's controls to achieve a wide range of tones. Back off the volume and it gets super touch sensitive. It can be finicky with temperature fluctuations and I have one Fuzz Face that has slightly more gain than the other one. Put a buffer in your wah if you want to use it in front of the fuzz. The impedance thing can be a problem with some setups. I've tried the Fulltone 69, the London Fuzz, the mini Fuzz Faces. The big red Dunlop dominates them all. Gritty and smooth at the same time. Heavy as I need it to be and cleans up like nothing else I've used. Depending on the guitar and amp it can be punchy, thick, warm, nasty, biting, complex and more. Lots of character from such a simple circuit. Experimentation will be rewarded. It's cliche, but truly I get compliments on my tone every gig I play with this thing. It has basically become my voice.
