FFM1 (FUZZ FACE MINI 1): Some might be fooled into thinking that this is just a FFM2 painted blue. However, looks can be deceiving. It is actually modeled after a 1970 Fuzz Face from Dunlop’s own collection. Underneath are matched BC108 silicon transistors that give it a dirtier, more aggressive fuzz sound. Like the other minis, it contains an LED, a DC jack, a battery door for easy battery changes, and it’s true bypass. FFM3 (FUZZ FACE MINI 3): This is the mini version of the Jimi Hendrix signature pedal, the JHF1. It’s got the same turquoise hammertone coat and cloned black knobs. It also has the same circuitry as the JHF1, including the same BC108s under the bonnet. It has an LED light, a DC jack, and a battery door, with true bypass included. 40 TONE TALK // Face the Music: A Guide to Modern Fuzz Faces
