That's the thing I hate about my Moen Shaky Jimi Univibe. Sounds good, looks terrible. Why did they have to put his image on it? And why is a shade of puke-purple? I have to cover it with a napkin otherwise I can't play.
My rule is avoid anything Hendrix ever used. There have been more than enough strat + univibe + fuzz face + wah into a Marshall guitar players. Robin Trower and SRV both tried. SRV had to go full Texas to get over it and Robin Trower is mainly only known by a specific type of guitarist. The only thing worse than having a watered down Hendrix rig is trying to dress like him. No one will ever be that cool or smooth, and his style was forward thinking *at the time*
Tearing down the competition with zero help to customers. 30 years of zero help. Now they despise their own customer creations. Now there's no fender supply.
@@delta_f HAHAH! i just find that "overrated" usage is overrated. Besides...we are not here to judge art, we are here to experience it and try to understand it. The guitar and drum cops in the back of the room judging performances are no fun at parties either. And I wouldn't be playing a video about mini fuzz faces (or any pedal) at a party.
Band of Gypsys Mini Fuzz Face all the way. Works great on both humbuckers and single coil guitars. It has been on my board since they released the pedal. It reminds me of the Miami Pop Festival performance of Hendrix where his tone was INSANE. Super aggressive when you want it to be. Cheers!
I’m actually giving away a fuzz face on my insta if you’re interested! It’s not a classic Dunlop one, but it sounds just as good, and it’s a good sturdy pedal! It’s made by Ck Audio. Anyways, if you wanna ever my insta is @andrewthomasguitarist
@@Rodiniaband I actually have this one already, it's my only fuzz! I like how aggressive and more like an overdrive it sounds than a typical fuzz. I was just thinking I wanted something with a more fuzzy character to mix and match with it.
Butthead: “Is this like, grudge music?” Beavis: “Grudge music is that stuff that guys from Seattle play. Hey Butthead, where's Seattle?” Butthead: “You don't know? It's that place where like stuff is really cool”.
I don't like choosing. It's like choosing between your kids. And these pedals have a face. Faces can get sad. I don't like sad faces. I like happy fuzzy faces. OK let's play music!
I have the blue silicon mini. My brother got it for me for Christmas and he knows nothing about guitar. It’s one of my favorite pedals. It’s almost entirely impractical and insanely loud, but I play it at home into a big ol’ memory man and a USA Blues Jr. through an old Jensen Concert 15.... and that’s how I spend a lot of nights.
Hmm I ordered the blue mini FF from Sweetwater and it was awful Radio signals and super noisy Very dissatisfied Glad you got a good one I don't think they QC the transistors so really have to try them out I suppose Oh well
Paul Cowart There is an internal trim pot that you can adjust w/ a small philips head screwdriver. It affects the bias of those transistors. Mess with it and see if you can’t get some better luck.
Drew Sollars just run your wah after FF. If you hate that, get the MXR BC105 Fuzz. It’s the the same exact fuzz with a buffer so it’ll behave after the wah.
The best thing about this channel, is because of Josh's love of pedals and even promoting some pedals over his own, and because there are always new pedals coming out, this channel has an almost unlimited supply of possible material!
Quick Fact... The new Psych 69 mini series Dunlop Hendrix Octavio has a switch to bypass the octave circuit. This setting gives you the red Band of Gypsies Fuzz Face (which was an Octavia with the octave circuit removed). I emailed Dunlop and they confirmed this. 😉
The teal Hendrix was my fave. Well done, with all of them. I don't actually own any JHS pedals yet but I think I want to buy them all, just because Josh seems to be the most supportive and classy dude in the industry.
Old post, but I've never heard Nick's drums blend so perfectly with any other tone or Pedal on this channel on my KRKs it sounds perfect.Gotta look into this it pushes all the right frequencies.
Your drums and drummer always sound amazing. Much props to the recording engineer, drum manufacturer and drummer. And of course your guitar playing is always tasteful and very catchy.
@Cas van der Wal It's not like he's anyone, really. He plays well, but his playing (and personality, since we do get to see/hear him so often) has as much magnetism as a lollipop stick. In a gutter.
You have to look like the agents from the Matrix to even consider ordering one. If you try to buy one from a shop and haven’t bought into Joe’s bullshit, Agent Smith will appear beside you from the drum demo room in the store amd force you to be a boring middle class douche
How’s about a “what pedals would jimi use if he was playing today” video? Interesting exploratory deep dive into pedal history and experimentation vs new technology and innovation! Something the JHS channel was made for? Cheers 👍
@@Bless_darealone yeah he seemed to always be trying out the newest tech i wouldnt be suprised if he kept using the newest gear he found one thing i think he definitely would have used is a phase 90
Band of Gypsys Fuzz Face with the Unicorn is what I rip on my board! One of the best feeling combinations I've ever used. That fuzz face mod video was one of my favorite JHS Show episodes next to Paul Gilbert. Its such a fuzzy wonderful day. Cheers.
That ghost bass player is super solid. Love this eppy! The Gypsy fuzz is my go to sound and I absolutely love its different and dynamic fuzzy goodness. But now I might need to go get me some more of these minis!
My wife got me the Hendrix Experience mini-fuzz and I was so excited for it that the first thing I did was run it with my bass, plugged to my Fender Bass Amp... Motörhead sound, right there...
I have the large JHF1. I really enjoyed this. Looks like I'll be adding the Band of Gypsies and the Bonamassa just for different flavors. Great episode, Cheers!
Your recommendation for the wren and cuff de la riva fuzz was spot on dude. I absolutely love that pedal. With some tweaking on the dip switches you can dial in any fuzz tone you need. From some low gain Velcro rip vintage style fuzz to full on face melting bush and pumpkins muff tones. It is so good with unwanted noise to. I have the quartermaster x8 and I run it with all different drives and distortion pedals before and after it and im getting endless great tones man. Love the he show and what your doing. Your also a great entertainer man. You and the rest of the crew make a great team. I look forward to the new uploads.
Your idea of ' dialling in ' is wrong. These days manufacturing doesn't give you a choice. YOU might think you're ' getting tones ' but that's also wrong.
I just got back into playing bigtime and have enjoyed watching your videos so much during this pandemic I went on Ebay and bought a new Angry Charlie can't wait to get it!
I’ve had the shiny red FM-2 Germy one for a while. I love it. Very polite, awesome grungy tones, knobs work. Fuzzy wonder box. Wife likes it’s cute little smile.
Brilliant, fun video. This is the only demo I've ever seen that does all of the minis & this many actual Fuzz Face branded FFs. I've only played the red germanium version & it wasn't my thing. I'm interested in trying out a couple of the others now. Also, it just occurred to me that these Friday videos have been coming in at under 20 minutes. That's reall handy as my lunch break is only 20 minutes. It's a great mental vacation. Thanks again.
My JHS Muffuletta pedal covers so many fuzz types, along with my EQD Park fuzz, and a DS-1, I think I'm covered. If I got a mini fuzz from this video, it's be the black Joe mini to use with humbucker guitars I own/play.
Hey Josh. I really like how you approach some of your riffs in a very melodic and constructed way including some elements of dissonance with some bends and rough tones. I don’t know if you know Patrick Walden who used to be the guitar player of the Babyshambles on their first album “Down in Albion”. If you don’t, check that album and listen to the tones and the very elaborate yet dissonent guitar playing. I think it could interest you. Cheers from Berlin. Yann
This episode is a joy. Thanks very much. I own the FFM2. I love what it does. It's slightly frustrating that it hates modulation and filters being in the chain, but it's glorious on its own. I keep hoping someone will make a version that works in a loop switcher
You're at the 1st beginning level of knowledge. Lots of what you think is right is actually wrong. Dude, realize these are professional pedals. Manufacturers are competing at a high level with multiple effects units. They're not building 1 to be by itself. Its part of a mix&Match set.
Have the blue one, and although it sounds good, there is a drastic volume decrease when engaged, even with the volume maxed out. Good for recording but not usable in a live situation
I used to have the mini Bonamassa Fuzz Face. I loved EVERYTHING about it - except that as soon as I turned it on I became immediately inaudible when playing live 😕 Also, can't believe Josh doesn't have the limited edition silver mirrored version of the Band of Gypsies mini Fuzz Face, it's definitely the coolest 🎸
My favorite fuzz face type thingy is the tweak fuzz by Seymour dunkin . The switched cap before the circuit makes it so versatile, like a dirty boy but 900$ cheaper. But I'm going to get a mini fuzz face, because of this video
Bought the grey Jimi Fuzz 4 weeks ago. Have to play a Hendrix set tomorrow. It is GREAT! I also have the copper J.B. but it is so temperature sensitive I got crazy on live performances.
So my question is: how does the MXR Classic 108 Fuzz Mini relate to the Fuzzface Mini series? Does it sound similar to the silicone models in this series...or does the roundness of the face enclosure add some extra mojo?
A C It’s not the same as the Hendrix one. Even within BC108 circuits, there are differences with gain, and cleanup. The buffered option BC108 is just different, whether it’s a 108B or 108C, or the leakage is different o the trannies. I have both, and I try out BC108 circuits whenever I come across them, looking for one that gets as glassy as my JHF1.
The mini MXR does not sound as good as the OG big box, which is one of my favorite BC108 Fuzzfaces. The mini sounds weaker and smaller. I guess size does matter after all :p

The mini MXR does not sound as good as the OG big box, which is one of my favorite BC108 Fuzzfaces. The mini sounds weaker and smaller.
I guess size does matter after all :p
The MXR Classic 108 ain't just for squares my dude.
Josh you convinced me to buy the JB Fuzz Face! Thank you!
You’re a wizard too!? Damn, that Band of Gypsies Fuzz Face sounds friggin rad.
