Old Fuzzface found! (pics)

Sign in to disble this ad
I recently "found" this pedal lost on an old case, along with other nice stuff. Some things I've been collecting over the years but for some reason ended up being rejected in favor of newer gear or cause I got bored with.



It's an early seventies, british made Dallas Industries Fuzzface, sporting a couple of NPN silicon BC 108 C transistors.



It's in a good shape despite all the years spent at the bottom of a hard case.







I wouldn't recommend use it on bass as it doesn't retain low end very well, but I could have lots of fun playing solos on a P-Bass with a Hendrix vibe

The only thing I had to replace was a rusty battery clip. Other than that it's all original and works nice.



i don't know if I could, or should do that but, replace the on/off switch for a "true bypass" crossed my mind.

Anyway I'm pretty happy, as I though I've lost it somewhere, sold or even worst, changed for illegal substances! :-)
Gonna post clips as soon as I can.
best

If what I've read is correct, the old Fuzz Faces already are true bypass.

You're right there is no buffer circuitry.
