Jim Dunlop JHF2 Fuzz Face Distortion Pedal,Red

Didn’t work properly. Back plate is metal and it shorted with one of the internal solder connectors. Known issue for the manufacturer - who were very helpful but ultimately the only solution was either sending it them in USA or back to amazon. Shame as nice sound (when I took the back plate off to stop the short circuit!). Perhaps I was unlucky but I am sure I am not the only one.

Always been a massive fan of fuzz pedals and this one for me is perfect, this landmine fuzz pedal offers a basic but extremely unique fuzz tone which can be recognized across music since the 60s. Great pedal, was somewhat confusing setting up since I often neglect reading manuals which is a very bad habit, just remember to connect the amp to the Output jack and the guitar to the input and then ENJOY!

a class pedal from a class company. works as expected and a solid construction. oh and aso looks the part

This is one pedal I sorely miss, having stupidly sold one years ago... With your volume flat out a low end boost seems to kick in, giving a thick, creamy tone with long sustain and loads of saturation (similar to Clapton's "woman tone"), but rolling the volume back a bit cleans and clears up the tone, giving a more traditional overdrive tone, which can be cleaned up completely if you roll the volume right back.Opening the back reveals a 9V battery connector (note there's no DC adaptor connection, and changing battery requires a screwdriver), and a brutally simple circuit. I feel I have to knock a star off here, because such a simple circuit and construction does not justify such a high price, and they could have made battery access simpler. But, you won't have to change the battery often... With constant, daily use I think I only had to change the battery once a year, if that. Just remember to unplug the input jack once you're finished and the battery should last for months on end.Reliability wise I never had a problem with it. On one occasion rainwater poured through a hole in the ceiling all over mine, soaking it inside. I thought it would be permanently damaged, but after half an hour to dry off on the radiator it worked fine, and continued in use for another couple of years. I sold it after I convinced myself I needed a cleaner sound, but I never quite achieved the tone I was after. Now I'm seriously thinking of buying another Fuzz Face... Great pedal.
