Description
Fulltone 69 MKII is a modernized take on the iconic germanium-fueled fuzz tones of the late 1960s. This pedal is a reimagination of the classic Fulltone pedal, combining vintage fuzz tone with a host of contemporary upgrades. The meticulously selected pair of germanium transistors is the heart of the pedal, delivering the rich, harmonic and full-range tone that fuzzbox legends are known for.
The MKII retains the original 2-knob control scheme while adding two new controls: an input bias knob to dial out excess wooliness, and a contour switch for sculpting midrange, sustain, and harmonics. Inside, an internal trimmer allows you to fine-tune harmonics, tracking, and clipping symmetry. With true bypass switching and a compact enclosure, the Fulltone 69 MKII bridges the gap between vintage fuzz tone and modern guitar effects.
Key Features:
- Matched pair of germanium transistors for authentic fuzz tones
- Enhanced tone-shaping controls: Volume, Fuzz, Input, and Contour
- Internal trimmer for fine-tuning harmonics, tracking, and clipping symmetry
- True bypass switching for preserving the guitar's tonal integrity when not in use
- Compact and durable enclosure, perfect for any pedalboard setup
- Requires a special center-pin power supply for non-battery operation.

Great Fuzz
This fuzz is not a hacksaw of doom or scooped thunder mush of death. It's pretty mild compared to most modern fuzz pedals, though it sounds awesome.
This thing is almost like an instrument itself if you know how to deal with it. It's got a full range of distortion and cleans up with your guitar volume like nothing you've ever heard - except from Hendrix.
As you turn down the volume on your guitar it does not reduce the output very much, but instead reduces the fuzz leaving your guitar loud, clean and sparkling/spanky in a really nice way. You can go down to clean funk with your volume knob or up to classic OD all the way to all along the watch tower leads. You could do a whole classic rock show with this alone and never have to step on it. It worked for Hendrix.
It's important to put this before any buffer and before anything that is going to compress or amplify the sound if you really want to use it fully. Put it first for best results.
Use the input knob to get it to work full range. If your guitar is naturally loud then turn down input on the pedal until your volume knob controls the drive/fuzz.
Used with a Vox Ac15 being assaulted by p90 Les Paul.

Simply a GREAT pedal
It's a Fulltone pedal, so it's a quality pedal. The construction is fantastic, the sound it delivers is that of a vintage fuzz; ideal for Stones, Hendrix, Gilmour type sounds, and the like. I think it's the best vintage fuzz I've ever tried, however, if you're looking for a fuzz that sounds super fat, it's not the most suitable. If you love late 60s and early 70s British blues-rock, this is your pedal. Eric Johnson loves it and so do I :)

Hendrix
If you like fuzz pedals and you don't like the Fulltone 69, you should run to the otolaryngologist. It's the quintessence of germanium fuzz. As simple as that.

Versatile
You can tweak this pedal until you find your perfect fuzz sound. For Hendrix, set the INPUT at max and CONTOUR at zero (Fuzz Face equivalent)... it's crazy ! It's too much gain for me, so I set both buttons in the middle.

Germanium Full-Fuzz!
Love this pedal. Tends to be a bit particular about where it needs to sit. I have mine after my comp at the front end. Really wide tonal palette and sounds great with Soul Food too. Watch our though - needs 9V centre +ve (not usual -ve) - make sure your power unit can handle it.

Listed under Satriani's Fulltone artist page.
"When I started playing with Wilco, I went through the many pedals lying around the Wilco loft looking for EVEN MORE DISTORTION SOURCES. Jeff Tweedy had this, an early '69, and he let me have it. One of the things I look for in any distortion device is MASSIVE GAIN. I need stuff that won't get QUIETER when you hit it, and frankly a shocking number of fuzzboxes and the like are super wimpy in this regard. The '69 (new one pictured here - Jeff's broke, and I need it because this new one sounds different…) just makes the grade. Check my Wilco setting: EVERYTHING ALL THE WAY UP."
