![]() Without a mouth its not much of a face, and without a face, it's just a fuzz. Considering that you can get a very good quality Monsterpiece fuzz for less, or Euthymia Crucible fuzz or MJM London Fuzz for slightly more than a new Reissue, you are probably paying a bit of a premium for the cool look of the fuzz face case. The switch is wired directly to the circuit board, which makes modding it a pain, and probably most unfortunate is that they lack the smiley face cutout. The reissue does have a few drawbacks, however. That said they do sound decent, especially for a mass-produced pedal (as I doubt they have someone sifting through a huge store of transistors, testing each one to see whether it's one of the few optimal gain transistors or one of the many "junk" ones). They feature transistors that are marked NKT-275, but Analogman points out that these are different animals than those that were used in mid-60s FFs. They are more consistent with one another, and they definitely sound better on the whole. This means that - let me do the math here, carry the one, i before e - yeah, you save a butt-load of money by purchasing the mini Fuzz Face. Now, you’ll want to note that there are two red Fuzz Faces, but this one is shiny red and has black knobs. They have a few improvements over their smiley counterparts from the 90s. Next up we have the FFM2, which is based on the Germanium Fuzz Face. I've toyed with a couple of the newer reissues (the ones without the smiley face). ![]()
