I've heard good things, so I did a little impulse buy. Hope it works out.

Any of you guys own one?

Im not much for Fulltone George. In fact Ive bought and sold everything he's made. But I do love the 69 and 70 pedals. I like the 70 better but Im not much for Ge fuzzs to begin with but I dont think you can go wrong with the 69.

BTW the bias control is great. I talked alot with Dave Fox about that control. He calls it a grit control on his pedals. People go through tons of FF trying to find the right one when really they were trying to find one thats biased the way they like. Youc an zero in on it with this knob. You can also get some really nasty sounds. You can get that dyin battery 'You Shook Me" or "Spirit In The Sky" sound.

I have been seriously considering getting one of these, so please let us know how you like it. Maybe even some sound clips? *nudge nudge*

Probably not! It might be a cool pedal, but it doesn't have anywhere near as cool a story to go with it.

BTW this doesn't mean that I admit to kissing Shanon. But I did step on her pedal at will............

Cool. The Red Fuzzmaster that I made is based on that but I ended up tweaking beyond that. The 69 is basically a Fuzz Face clone with a few added variable components. ie Bias & Contour.

Can't wait to hear what you think about it.

George!!!

I just built my first fuzz pedal. I'm not familiar with them so I started with a silicon version to cop the Hendrix Band of Gypsies tone. So far I really like it but it's taken some time to get used to. It's VERY touch sensitive!

I'm going to try a germanium version like the '69 next.

I built my kit from buildyourownclone.com. Really simple and a lot of fun. They've got a beauty contest going on so I entered one called "Spongebob Square Fuzz"

Hybrid fuzzes are pretty popular as well. Thye use both a Silicone and a Germamium tranny.

I am going to build one of JOe Gagans Easy Face pedals soon, it is a hybrid Fuzz.

Chekc out www.generalguitargadgets.com and look up the Easy Face if interested.

Yeah let us know what you think, im looking for fuzz. What I would like to know the most is do you get that clasic fuzz but keep your amps tone.
thanks***

I've been eyeing the buildyourownclone.com's 2-knob SolaSound ToneBender MK II kits for some fuzzage. I really wanna pull the trigger, but my wife's car may be in for about $700 worth of snow tires so I'm a little reluctant.

The 69 sounds great with my 67. I haven't tried it with any other amps yet. I really like the extra controls: bias and contour. Extrememly useful.

I haven't tried many of the fuzzes available. Just this one, the big muff and a couple that Dosman built. The fulltone definately delivers classic fuzz. I wanted to play Jimi Hendrix songs right away.
