a really good replica thats alot cheaper is the fz-5 by boss, the fuzz face setting is pretty exact to this sound i highly recomend it but if you have the money just get the hendrix fuzz face
like the pics on the background. nice! is that sound the fuzzface coming through a clean channel on the amp or is the amp already distorted/overdriven?
@aektzis91 well i went ahead and bought it anyway and ran the two together. It actually sounds pretty good. like in the video, if you roll back the volume while running both, you get a pretty decent tube screamer sound with a bit of fuzz. turn the volume all the way up and it screams pretty well. if you chord or play low it sounds pretty muddy, but all and all i liked the way it turned out. i posted a video of me playing (little wing on my channel) using the two in tandem. check it out.
Dunlop is very cool! The guitar playing in this vid really does it justice. This pedal does a great job for getting those old time Hendrix tones for those Hendrix cats out there. I pair mine with a good octavia octave up pedal. Tried the Roger Mayer octavia but was disappointed. The 'Fillmore Thunder' by Elite Tone isawesome the octave notes ring out clear undistorted.
None of these demos mean crap without a list of what other gear is being played through. What guitar, what amp, what pickups? I mean, the final tone has as much to do with that as it does just the fuzz face alone.

Yeah, but...it dont sound like Hendrix...I got one cos I wanted to sound like the Isle of Wight. Hendrix..but it's sounds just as shitty as this one.....
you obviously have 0 idea what you are talking about. There is footage of hendrix at Wight, with his omnipresent fazz face(s) right there along with him.
If this was not true, then howd he get a clean tone without changing the settings on every onel of his amps???
he didn't get a clean tone u idiot. Everybody knows Isle of Wight was his worst performance most people blame it on the cheap equipment used at the festival and he did change the tone on all his amps watch the whole live DVD & u'll c that he did in every song especially in voodoo child & machine gun you retard
@JimiHendrixSite Thanks, I've always wondered why, at the Isle of Wight he sounded SOOOOO heavy.....In Jimi Plays Berkley the sound is clear as crystal...a month later at the Isle of Wight all was chaos...somebody said his amps were on there way out and maybe that was why the sound was like it was. or just another of Jimi's unfathomable mysteries..
I have had one of these pedals for about a year.. they are simply amazing.
I also have the roger mayer axis fuzz which is also cool and many other fuzz and distortion pedals including ts-808 etc etc.. but this is the THE fuzz in my opinion.
The MXR silicon fuzz is the answer to these problems. Dunlop owns MXR and they've basically brought it up to the present by making it much smaller , with LED and a buffer.
The Hendrix pedal by Digitech is a digital effects pedal, with many different sounds. The Dunlop Fuzzfaces, and original fuzzfaces, are analog. The differences are quality of sound. The digital pedals try to do all this different stuff, but can't match the sound quality of a dedicated analog effect, which does one thing and does it well.
I wouldn't use digital effects for anything. They try to "emulate the sounds of the originals" but fail because they're digital crap.
yeah digitech sucks if your looking for a more "vintage" sound. the only drawback to buying analog equipment though is that it can get a bit pricey, but the sound quality is enormously better.
I got rid of a bunch more expensive fuzzes after I got this one, very authentic sounding FF. Cleans up better than some germanium fuzzes that I've owned.
what kind of guitar are you using?

Sweet demo as usual!
For a cheap alternative I'd recommend the Fuzz Facelift by Big Knob Pedals, made with Germanium resistors, they get a sweet tone.

By an adapter that has a 9volt battery adapter and connect it straight to the batter input. then seal it back up.

@aaronbrakefield probably not good since the TubeScreamer has a very compressed sound.. therefore you'll loose all the dynamic of the fuzz

Yep! one 12 v battery! no power socket though, which means ONLY a battery!
No LED indicator, Which i think is a major pisser!!!!!!
And the jack sockets are the wrongway round!!!
We ALL know Jimi was a lefty but come on! Just makes placing on a pedal board an ass! as does the size and shape!!!!
That said, you cant beat this pedal for sound! which, lets not beat around the bush, is what its really all about!
Looks, Features, Practality- not sure of spelling! lol! =Crap!
Sound=Unbeatable!
