Care to go a bit deeper and share your thoughts in a few sentences? FLB are awesome, so I'd guess this one's good as well.

What do you think?

Here's a blast from the past:




I used to play one of these live for a while, but stupidly traded it in with some other gear. Dumb!

Tweak Fuzz is awesome. Tried one ages ago, but thought it sounded lifeless and stiff. Little did I know about running fuzz into drive back then...

Yep, fuzz is finicky. Especially the FF variety. They definitely shine with an overdriven amp though. I really loved the tone variations of the Tweak, it gave you better control and a useful OD sound when needed.

This is a good FF it is 1 Ge and 1 Si transistors. Dave Fox (Foxrox) worked at Crest Audio in the early 80s and modded old FF's they had laying around. I also have his Hot Silicon 2 FF.

Anyone have any experience with the Suhr Rufus? I have been toying around with getting one.

Me too. I may still have it in storage. Remember liking this a lot.

I’ve changed the knobs

I’ve been having some fun with this excellent pedal today.
It does exactly what it’s meant to oasis
For £89.00 inc shipping it’s a no brainer

This is a pretty screaming deal on a good fuzz face circuit. Switch the buffer off and it’s a great sounding FF. No affiliation, just spotted the deal.

This is a pretty screaming deal on a good fuzz face circuit. Switch the buffer off and I believe it’s identical to the current Dunlop Hendrix FF of the same color. No affiliation, just spotted the deal.

It's similar to JHF1 but definitely not the same. Different feedback resistor values, output cap and uses BC108C transistors which will have much higher HFE than JHF1. The MXR will have more output volume too.

Definitely a killer deal though. Jeorge Tripps produces killer fuzz faces.

I have really grown to love MXR stuff. If I wanted a fuzz; I'd grab one of these \m/

 

[sashimi]

I would grab one if I didn’t already have a fulltone 69.

I wish MXR put all of their power inputs on the back like this.

Thanks for correcting my misinformation.

Sorry. I'm fascinated by FF circuit differences so have the schematics for most of the interesting ones on my phone.

I grabbed a Supreme, should be here Friday. Good price, never had any experience with JHS, but love their demos.
