Critic Reviews

Dunlop Fuzz Face Mini FFM1 Silicon review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Dunlop FFM1 Silicon Fuzz Face Mini packs classic fuzz tones into a pedalboard-friendly size. With modern features such as true bypass switching and an AC power jack, it's a versatile update to a vintage icon. Players will appreciate its vintage dirt tones and sturdy build. However, to get the best sound, it requires a clean amp signal, and its mid-scooped tones aren't ideal for boosting overdriven amps. Despite these minor limitations, it's a strong contender for fuzz enthusiasts seeking a compact solution.

Very good fuzztone!!

The Dunlop FuzzFace Sillicon Mini , is a very good sounding pedal with some nice features like : It has a standart pedal size and is just called mini because the original fuzzface model is even bigger and has the same circuits, another fact is that the mini version comes with a led on it and a true bypass switch. So , if you´re looking for an original vintage fuzzface tone in a small box that cost and weight less and already has a led on it, that´s the right pedal for you and the best , it comes with the normal in and out plugs position. Check out some reviews and you´re going to believe me.

Great fuzz for 3 piece bands

A great fuzz that thickens your tone almost like a sharpened muff when the gain is rolled off, but gets a really "angry bee" sound when the gain is raised. However, I found it hard to cut through a mix while recording/playing live with this pedal.

try backing off your guitar volume 1 notch with the gain up a little more... also, try running into a marshall superlead or something similar with the amp set so the power tubes are breaking up just a bit when the pedal is disengaged... the silicon FF will cut a mix better than a germanium but its finicky.

hmm. never tried that, but don't really own any marshall type amps, only sf fenders - i tend to drive those very hard and loud and usually prefer muff-type circuits through them (i.e. DBA fuzz war)
