Once frowned upon - back in the day, only real tube sounds were permitted - but today totally in again: the classical distortion pedal. This doesn't refer to tube-like sounding overdrives or distortion pedals, but really the classic fuzz boxes of the late 60s.
One of the first, and certainly the best known fuzz effect, is the Fuzz Face, which Jimi Hendrix used to drain every last drop of power from his Marshalls on full blast. But also contemporary guitar heroes like Eric Johnson used it to give their sounds a special note.
Since then there have been several clones: the Dunlop JH F1 is a detailed reproduction of the Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Faces and reproduces the old sound 1:1.

This pedal is as standard as standard can be with a fuzz pedal. Much has been written about the subtle differences between transistors, Ge and Si, and wether the pedal was polished with vegan gloves bathed in virgin owl urine.
Mates, it's a fuzz. It's quite literally the simplest circuit of a pedal ever made. The only thing it makes it cost this much is the 'vintage' tax and the Hendrix name tagged onto it.
Now, as fuzzes go, you have lots of choice. I would separate Ge and Si fuzzes, and and Muff-style fuzzes to it if you're looking for a late-60s, early 70s sound. For a Muff-style you don't have to complicate things, get a Big Muff, period.
For earlier fuzzes, if you absolutely need good cleanup or want to use the pedal as an always on thing, get the red mini one. Cleans up great, sounds big, it's a fuzz, just keep in mind that Ge ones tend to be picky with ambient temperature swings, and I live in a country where 40°C in the summer is guaranteed, sometimes the pedal would just stop working.
If you want a more stable fuzz, the this one. It's a Si one but it stills cleans up well, you just need to turn the knob more and it gives that saw-like piercing sound. Think Gilmour playing the Time solo. Just dime both knobs, use your guitar tone knob the bring it back a bit to the point where the highs stop overpowering the mids and there you go, simple as that.
Oh, and it's built like a tank, I hit it with my shin at altough the physical pain went away, forever I am traumatized by the memory of the pain.

Twin Reverb, Strat oder Paula mehr braucht es nicht ! Absoluter geiler Sound. Von "Smells like teen spirit" bis "the wind crys mary" ! Der Fuzz Regler sollte immer voll aufgedreht sein und die Verzerrung mit dem Volumen Poti der Gitarre reguliert werden. Der Klang ist fetter und frischer und wärmer und einfach anders wie die Standart Overdrive / Distortion Pedale dies so gibt!
Ich liebe diese Teil ! Komme mir vor wie Jimi Page oder Hendrix in den goldenen 68 ern ;-) Habe mir einen Battery clip besorgt der in ein T-rex Chameleon geht, da das Teil keinen DC Input hat, nur Batterie und die mag ich nicht ! Wenn man das Volumenpoti der Gitarre auf 0 zugedreht hat, kann man gelegentlich schonmal ein Radio Programm aus seinen Amp Speakern hören, was bei Volumen 1 auch schon wieder weg ist. Wenn ma das Teil aufschraubt sieht man eine super verarbeitung allerdings könnte das Gehäuse kleiner sein...wäre dann aber nicht mehr original Tellerminenstyle...und der gehört einfach dazu !
Hatte mal ein Fulltone 69 Fuzz und EHX Big Muff, aber dieses Teil ist der absolute Oberhammer. Wenn Fuzz dann nur dieses hier !

un effet de légendea legendary effect

un effet de plus dans ma collection pourtant aucun pédalier ne reproduit ce grain si particulier le fuzz a la jimi hendrix est bien là!
avec une configuration stratocaster usa marshall 100watt on s'y croirais.
certes cet effet peut paraître un peu cher mais cela fait parti des choses dont on ne se lasse pas en une vie.
seul bémol pas de prise d'alimentation 9 volts externe.mais on est là avec un effet vintage .
autre réglage possible sans pousser le gain,c'est la possibilité de donner du corp
en son clair crunch léger a votre guitare; j'utilise maintenant cet effet de avant un overdrive .
a voir car tout est dans la nuance avec ce genre d'effet.

one more effect in my collection yet no pedal board reproduces this particular grain, the Jimi Hendrix-style fuzz is there! with a usa marshall 100watt stratocaster configuration you would believe it. certainly this effect may seem a little expensive but it is one of the things that we never get tired of in a lifetime. The only downside is no external 9 volt power socket. But we are here with a vintage effect. another possible adjustment without pushing the gain, it is the possibility of giving body in clear light crunch sound to your guitar; I now use this effect before an overdrive. to see because everything is in the nuance with this kind of effect.
