Why Dunlop Mini Fuzz Faces Are Awesome
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- One of my favorite pedals ever created is the Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face. It's amazing, it’s iconic, but it's hard to fit on a pedal board, since this is arguably one of the largest pedal enclosures ever made. Don’t get me wrong. Jimi Hendrix loved it. I love it. I still want to use it. I just wish it was smaller, you know?
Well, the Genie from Aladdin (you can decide whether you want him to be played by Robin Williams, Will Smith, or James Monroe Iglehart) must be lurking around here somewhere, because my wish just came true. Dunlop made it come true, via the Fuzz Face Mini series.

"It's a hundred bucks. That's like ten dollars, ten times."
My man's hitting us with those heavy math lessons 👀
quick maffs
and now that this vid came out JHS pedals did a vid on it tax just hit
Math for Marines!
Noble Failures 😂 Truth mind you 😐
It’s not like ten dollars ten times.
It is ten dollars ten times.
I only have one rule when it comes to fuzz. Don't get one with a picture of Jimi on. He sees you, and he judges.
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.
"Puke-purple"?
@@thomassmith5291 Too much Ribena?.
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*
Matt Gilbert Words of wisdom
I love the "we make great pedals, but so does xyz" attitude of jhs. Not constantly trying to tear down the competition.
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.
A rising tide floats all ships.
Yes, you do love that, as the reverse psychology of the JHS show is working it's magic on you. ;)
We are truly living in the golden age of guitar gear.
Why don't you add a public statement?
Nick always looks like he's thinking about lunch when he plays.
He plays for food.
@@jefflitchfield4950 That totally makes sense now!
I’m really glad he’s not fat or this would be quite a roast
Douchey
Can you blame him? 😂
Nick’s drum sound is an underrated part of all these videos. Always sounds great!
was anyone rating anything on the video at all? where do they publish the ratings?
@@BTsMusicChannel you must be the life and soul of all the parties you attend, if any
@@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.
its the mixer with 6 colorboxes in it, but yea
He’s a solid drummer 🥁

Joe Bonamassa: “Pedal users are f**king lazy”
*has multiple signature pedals*
Because he's getting paid. At the end of the day,its a money making business.
sooo... just use your Dumbles, right? wait - you DON'T have any of those? well, nevermind then... lazy is good! buy my pedals!
full disclosure: I just bought one... (the ffm4 not the Dumble!) - yep, I'm lazy! - not sorry!
@@edwardvara9993 yeah I know that but it's still dumb to basically insult the people buying your product
@@aidanbouw5224 I agree wholeheartedly with you. This why I don't buy those "Signature models".
That’s it. You, Nick & I are going to make a record under the band name “Canadian Slang”
f*ckin right bud, get er goin
Do itttt
As a Canadian... I need this to happen.
YES!!!!
Beauty, eh? You can cover Take Off To The Great White North
The next JHS pedal: The Full Face = every Fuzz Face in one pedal
So the psych series fuzz?
I believe you mean the... Fuzzuletta
That sounds like some serious business, not that Dunlop garbage. If that offends you, you don't know what you're missing. Pay more, reap vast rewards.

I'm literally shopping for a mini fuzz face this very second, what a timely upload!!
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
Yeah Josh has this thing where he uploads stuff right when you need it. Kinda like those creepy Facebook or Google ads.
Take the grey hendrix. It's very very good. Cleans up great. Have also the j.b. Geranium. So sensitive for temperature. Can not use it live.
@@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.
If you pretend that these are “normal-size” fuzzfaces in the foreground, Josh’s combo looks huuuuge.
Anyone else wish the jam sessions were longer? Y'all sounds great
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
I've got the blue one and it sounds great. Just wish it got along better with wahs.
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.
Thanks!
There is nothing like a Fuzz Face combined with a Strat at the neck position. Just found this out today as I just bought my first Strat. So cool!

Erik Avery: You obviously have a sophisticated and refined sense of humor. Cheers!
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!
Everyone has a favorite child... you love them all the sane, but there's always a favorite
Only one thing to do, buy them all
@@3l84r70 you never say it out in the open.. 😉
@@murthisrikanth but you must!.. and then let them figure it out for themselves :-D
It's fine, these are Small Faces. They're mostly happy. Even when Ogden's Nut-Gone Flake.
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 👍
If Jimi were alive today, he would be too old to care.
@@Ndlanding He would be younger than B.B. King was.
@@MarkProffitt Last I heard, BB was RIP.
I think hed be using all new gear
@@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
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!
I didn't know josh Glad loved pedals.?
I thought he loved the goonies.
Please make an "one in all" fuzzfaze - like the bonsai :-)
Whoa...I made a lucky guess then, went with the Jimi Mini at release a bunch of years ago. Thanks for all you do for the effects community.
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.
If it hasn’t been done already, could we see a video on your favorite “combo” pedals? I.e the keeley caverns. Love the show and you guy’s pedals!!!
There is a JHS video called “Must Have 2 in 1’s” which covers combo pedals
Jacob Lopez thank you!
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.
Just curious if you've got any yet ,and which one's ?
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. 😉
That Bonamassa's fuzz are killer! Fantastic tone!
I have bought two of these. Love 'em! My favourite pedals ever 😍
Nick’s drumming makes it twice as gooder! Great video!
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.
@@joeyskar That Paul Gilbert video may have been the most wholesome content I've watched on youtube ever.
My friend Ken had an old full size red one, which he used on bass, and it sounded nuts.
That was the absolute best video effects I’ve ever seen with the explosion and smoke cloud to the smaller pedal
The Hendrix FFM3 just won my heart, even though I didn't think it would. Now I need one.
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.
Thanks for the Skywave mention. I was a member of that band, and I really enjoy your channel.
I think I may have enjoyed your playing on this video more than on any other. Nice work, Josh.
Only recently found this channel. This guy has a great sence of humour. Really entertaining while informative. Subscribed.
I have about 15 or so fuzz pedals, the FFM3 is by far my favorite. Great video!
The new little song: "I don't have that pedal. Am I gonna survive?" -> super funny! LOL !!!!
If you order the Bonamassa one, you get a free pair of really stupid sunglasses glued to your face.
Yes, but it's better than having to wear a ten-gallon cowboy hat.
@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.
This comment made my day.
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
I have the MXR version of the Gypsy Fuzz, which is almost the same as the Dunlop version. It's my favorite of all fuzzes. It's very versatile.
I have the BOG's one and it's the most versatile fuzz I have ever owned. Love the clean up!
Fuzz is easily one of my favorite effects. I also like combining it with modulation
Yeah. A fuzz, lots of reverb, and a little bit of chorus to fatten up the sound. The manna of heaven itself.
YESSSS I’ve been thinking about buying one of these mini fuzz faces. THIS IS THE VIDEO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! Thanks!!
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!
Someone should make a Jumbo Fuzz Face that is so big it has to be transported by shipping container only.
I’ve been listening this channel in the headphone and it’s fantastic the jams sounds.
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 just told my wife that I needed a new pedal. She asked me how much it was and I told her, "$10 ten times."
She just turned around and walked away.
So is that a yes...?
Yeah? She's turned around to go and buy it for you?
@@PilchHarmonics fingers crossed!
It's the classic "I can't think of a reason to stop you, so I'll pretend I'm not aware of it".
When I buy pedals off Reverb I put them on my board and then immediately sprinkle some dust on them off the floor so that if my wife won't realize that they are new.
she didn't say no. that's all that matters.
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 🎸
You had to travel round the world in reverse to get it though.
Shout out for that snare sound. Love it.
I love this chanel, because subscribers are fun like Nick and we have fun together.👌
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.
Me: I don't need another fuzz.
Me ten minutes later: I need at least two of these.
Wow, the FX when fuzz face explodes in your hand like a popcorn and turn into a microface!!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
"How many Sovtek" heads does a person need?"
JOSH: "Every one ever made."
Excellent show idea. You crushed it again!
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!
The red ones remind me of the camping gas canisters 😁
Another great video on fuzz! Love it so much! Thanks guys!
I already have the dark blue and this makes me want to buy it again. It’s a sick pedal and want em all!!!!
Great video... and those drums sound amazing! Came for the fuzz, stayed for the drums. 🔥👍🏻
You’re a wizard too!? Damn, that Band of Gypsies Fuzz Face sounds friggin rad.
A Dunlop Pedal Video would be nice! There are so many legendary and crazy dunlop pedals. Also rare Pedals like the Dunlop tvp 1.
This is crazy... I am researching today on Fuzz Faces and JHS does a video on it ? Cmon
The Red Fuzz Face with white knobs was amazing!
No pedal related comment here, just wanted to say Josh you have really great timing, always super locked with the drums. Great video as always!
This was great to hear them all back to back. Teal Hendrix and Black Bonamassa are the two that pull at my ears and my wallet.
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.
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!
For real that edit at the start with the mini-fication of the Fuzz Face was seamless…
The LA Law / Owner of a Lonely Heart jam was brilliant and made me laugh instantly 😂
that “i don’t have that pedal” song is such a great tune. also, love the fuzzfaces. great vid
Thanks for another great JHS vlog. I love my '73 London Bender Legends of Fuzz pedal!
I love the spitty sound of the light blue fuzz face. Really liked the black one too. All of them are good. Fuzz face is good
"Owner of a Lonely Heart / L.A. Law" - Comically brilliant!
The pedals sounded great, but I would like to congratulate for those super pleasant drums sounds!
That Strat looks great and sounds awesome too!! Loved this video!!
5:24 this sounds amazing, nice playing!
I can’t believe how nice the germanium FF cleans up
The great thing about the Fuzz Face and their circuits is that they clean up real nice by rolling the volume down on the guitar.
Mini fuzz face pedals!!! Awesome video Josh and JHS Pedals. :)
I have the silicon mini fuzz face and I love it. It's nice to se it in your videos. Fuzzy wonderful day for you too :)
I want all of them, run in parallel, to separate Bassmans (Bassmen?). I feel like I would get a record deal simply by playing a single note through that setup.
It would only get you a record deal if the video went viral and people started following you on social media.
And if that happens, you're better off just doing everything yourself. Record deals are like tuning forks: obsolete tools of the past.
@@shawnmcvey7789 TRUTH
No record deal unless you put auto tune on it
Downtune to B# first. Works for Sunn 0))).
Been looking for a video like this for a while now. Thank you!
One of the best channels ever made! Playing is great reviews are great and the jokes. I don’t have that pedal is funny stuff
Woo hoo, I have the full fat Joe bonamassa one! Nice polished brass colour and sounds great too.
I have the BOGs one. Love it.
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.
Would love to see a video panning around that room to show all the pedal shelves.
"Grunge Hendrix" sounds very much like early Smashing Pumpkins, and that is perfect.
Josh you convinced me to buy the JB Fuzz Face! Thank you!
I have them all, the FFM3 is my favorite. Followed by my BC138 modded FFM1
Kind of wish they came in square version too.
I am here to boost the algorithm
I'm here to ask:
R.E.M pre-Warner Bros. years>Warner Bros years (ie: IRS albums the best)??
I say yes with Green being the exception - a transitional record, still had their mojo when that one was made...eventually got it back but something was lost along the way. "Accelerate" was awesome.
I hope my reply also boosts algorithm.
In Mother Russia, you do not boost algorithm, algorithm boosts you...
"Reveal" was also gud.
I bet I get a lot of R.E.M-related content in my social media for the next few days.
Best gig I ever went to was during the Green world tour. Feb '89, Christchurch, New Zealand. They blew the roof off the Town Hall.
@@mattgilbert7347 I'm a fan of all their stuff. IRS is the best imo haha
@@mattgilbert7347 yeah reveal is pretty good
Some generous nut out there is sending you the pedals you don’t already have.
Great info, super cool playing, this unique Joshitude... Thanks!
Your guitar riffs are supremely groovy.
That Joe bonamassa with the LP sounded great and I'm not even into fuzz and I play strats 😂
If you play strats you gotta get a 'face!
9:55 I wonder if there's enough space inside the mini enclosures to do some of the mods from the aforementioned mod video.
