Great, once you realize what a FF can do . .
I initially really liked this - maybe of a 4 star affinity - but I recently realized that the special sauce of a good Fuzz Face is as much volume-rolled-back cleans as it is in-your-face wooly explosiveness. I had heard about this but have been playing mostly on a Les Paul through an overdriven amp - a sound perhaps too big and inarticulate for these dynamics. Rather, this especially works well with single coils. I've been using it with my Tele and Strat-style guitars and enjoy the sparkly clean (yet beefy) tones. The Fuzz Face adds a great muscular granularity to clean tones. Think Hendrix's "Like a Rolling Stone" Live at Winterland, "Hey Joe" or the Band of Gypsys live stuff (except those were with silicon transistors, which sound slightly different). That kind of clean to face-melting range at your fingertips when used with single coils and at good amp settings.
The compact size is also a huge plus - especially compared to the regular/original FF.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Both Fuzz and Volume at 9 or 9.5. Control the rest with your volume knob, preferably with a single coil guitar.
Amazing fuzz
Probably one of the best fuzzes on the market. Takes up little space and sounds amazing.

Pedals are an interesting topic with some guitarists collecting many different kinds, while others taking the less is more approach. What pedals are you currently using and are any of them custom made for you?
I try to keep it simple, the more pedals you have the more things can break when you are on tour hahaha. And pedals are expensive. But this is what’s on my board now:
– Boss Chromatic Tuner – Wampler Plexi-Drive – Himmelstrutz Fetto (Got this a looong time ago from the guy who makes them and I have use it a lot live and on recordings, it’s a killer!) – Dunlop Fuzzface Mini – EHX Memory Man Deluxe (no it’s not reeeeeally old, it’s just rusty hahaha) – EHX Holy Grail Nano – EHX Wah Wah
