As old school as fuzz gets!Â
Before silicon transistors took over, fuzz pedals were using germanium transistors. The Dunlop Electronics Germanium Fuzz Face Mini (FFM2), as the name suggests, uses these old school germanium transistors that shaped the sound of rock.
Germanium transistors are known to sound warmer than silicon ones and clean better. The FFM2 transitions between clean-dirty-heavily fuzzed tone easily and smoothly, it sounds great and teams perfectly with single-coil guitars. All in all a very cool old school fuzz in a pedalboard-friendly housing.
