The Fuzz Face Mini Germanium accurately recreates ’66-’68 era pre-silicon Fuzz Faces with slightly mismatched transistors (i.e. warm vintage fuzz) but in an all new pedalboard friendly size! So if the unwieldy shape of the original put you off you’re going to love getting the classic warm 60s fuzz tone from a pedal that now fits happily on your board!

Features

  • Based on mid ’60s Fuzz Faces with slightly mismatched germanium transistors
  • Legendary Fuzz Face tones in a pedalboard-friendly housing
  • Status LED, AC power jack & battery door

Here’s what Dunlop say about Fuzz Face Mini Germanium

The Fuzz Face Mini pedal line features legendary Fuzz Face tones in smaller, more pedalboard-friendly housings with several modern appointments: true bypass switching, a bright status LED, an AC power jack and a convenient battery door.

The FFM2 Germanium Fuzz Face Mini is based on ’66-’68 era pre-silicon Fuzz Faces famous for warm vintage fuzz tones provided by slightly mismatched germanium transistors.

Jim Dunlop

In the current JustPedals catalogue, Jim Dunlop is represented by Wah & Filter Pedals, Fuzz Pedals and Volume Pedals. Current listings include MXR GT Overdrive, DVP4 Volume X Mini and Slash Wah. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus time-based effects and ambience. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Fuzz Pedals

Fuzz pedals push a signal into intentionally non-linear clipping, often with strong sustain, compression and harmonic roughness. Designs range from gated splutter and octave-up textures to broad, woolly or saturated sounds, and they can react strongly to pickup level and guitar volume. Bias, tone, gain, input impedance and clean-up behaviour affect how playable the circuit feels. Some fuzzes prefer to see the guitar directly, while others tolerate buffers and complex boards. Check the power requirements, noise floor and useful volume-control range.

Mini Pedal

Mini pedals use a reduced-width enclosure to conserve pedalboard space. Their smaller format may limit battery access, footswitch spacing and the number or size of controls, while side-mounted sockets and power placement determine how much space is saved once connected. Check dimensions, power draw, control reach and output headroom, particularly if several mini pedals will be placed close together or controlled in low light.

True Bypass

True bypass removes the effect circuit from the audio path when bypassed, usually by mechanical, relay or switching circuitry. This can preserve the direct signal but does not automatically solve long-cable loading, and it may create a pop or leave no buffer for the rest of the board. Check the actual switching method, trails or spillover, input and output loading and the number of other true-bypass pedals in the chain.
