:lol: That was funny!

They show the insides of the FFMini in one of the Dunlop videos, and there is no space left inside those things.

If the guts are the same in the mini versions then I will buy a Hendrix one. Guitarist in the UK did some sound clips and to me that was the smoothest but with the best tones of all of the Dunlop variants.
The full size one would take too much space up on my board.
Are the guts the same, anyone know?

i wish i knew, to tell you. Someone else was interested too. But the original dunlop blue hendrix fuzz enclosure is also super cool and pretty, i don't have a pedal board so ...
Dunlop was associated with crap stuffs for a while, but i can't complain of this fuzz, really good.

The Dunlop web site says that the ciruit is the exact same as the Hendrix Fuzz Face. They didn't just mount the same board though. They actually show the innards in one of the demos. There is no available real estate left inside that enclosure, and if I remember correctly it looks like the jacks are board mounted.

I have the Hendrix fuzz mounted on my pedalboard now, and I'll be getting one of these little ones when they are available. It will be great to free up the space. I wish they would put the big wedge Octavio in one of these enclosures too!

Dunlop/MXR has really been making some great pedals lately. Maybe Jeorge Tripps has something to do with that.

The new Bonamassa stuff !
I look at fuzz's by Chips with my fav NKT275's because they work well with my Marshall's. My BC108's are also good, but both are finicky. The new Dunlop JB is awesome in that it works well with a Humbucker a n d a wah.

To the OP: yup that's a fuzz alright... :lol:
A little more on/in the descrip, perhaps ?

yes guys, clone the joe bonamassa's fuzz, really worth it ! very good with single coils or humbuckers. creamy, rich, sustain ...
i constantly improve it with different mods for my tastes, and with piher and mustards along with the same germaniums.
third or fourth version now..
this and the unmodded blue fuzz and i'm good, lot of fun and tone.
