How does a fuzz face circuit work?
The fuzz face works by inputting signal through a DC blocking resistor driving a transistor one, transistor two is directly coupled with transistor one. This is called a “voltage biasing circuit”.
What makes a fuzz pedal work?
Fuzz pedals use extreme clipping to turn your audio signal into what’s essentially a square wave. This creates massive amounts of harmonic saturation, but it diminishes the intensity of the fundamental—which, in audio terms, refers to the note you’re actually playing.
What is the AnalogMan sun face Fuzz?
The Analogman Sun Face Fuzz has been produced since the early 2000s and has been a favorite on the high-end fuzz market. Over the years, it has been produced with a wide variety of transistors, which each provide a different tonal footprint. While some rare chip sets can fetch high prices, there are plenty of more accessible models as well.
Will my guitar sound like Jimi with a Fuzz Face?
If you have a Cort guitar and a Crate amp, don’t expect to sound like Jimi with a fuzz face. You will have to have an excellent guitar and amp, have played for at least several years, and used some other fuzz pedals to appreciate the sound and feel of our Sun Face or modified Fuzz Faces.
What makes a Fuzzface sound good?
Unlike a pedal like a Tube Screamer, which will always sound good if the right chip and other parts are installed correctly, a fuzzface is a very finicky circuit. The transistors used in a fuzzface make all the difference in tone, feel, and amount of fuzz/cleanliness.
What do I need to get started with Fuzz Faces?
You will have to have an excellent guitar and amp, have played for at least several years, and used some other fuzz pedals to appreciate the sound and feel of our Sun Face or modified Fuzz Faces. It may also take some time to figure out how to make it work well with your other equipment.
