It needs to be hitting something with good midrange content to fill it out - like a cranked tube amp or OD with mids - otherwise you get that flubby bass and fizzy highs.


Some of the best sounds you get out of a FF are the 'clean' ones when you roll your guitar volume back.


When you hear it, you will {censored} bricks.



I'm not sure that's necessarily true. For lower volume success with a fuzz face i use my Box of Rock which has flat mids?

Agree with the comments on using your guitar volume though! :thu:

BoR is a JTM45 style box - it has Marshall mids and a FF into that would sound pretty frickin' killer IMO.

The 'fuzz' knob on a FF is useless, they should all be replaced with an input attenuator ('guitar volume knob') instead.

 

 

Yeah, but then you wouldn't have all that control at your fingertips. I've also found that there's a fair amount of variation to be found in that last quarter of the fuzz knob
