Here's what Dunlop say about Fuzz Face Mini GermaniumThe Fuzz Face Mini pedal line features legendary Fuzz Face tones in smaller, more pedalboard-friendly housings with several modern appointments: true bypass switching, a bright status LED, an AC power jack and a convenient battery door.The FFM2 Germanium Fuzz Face Mini is based on ’66-’68 era pre-silicon Fuzz Faces famous for warm vintage fuzz tones provided by slightly mismatched germanium transistors.
The Fuzz Face Mini Germanium accurately recreates ’66-’68 era pre-silicon Fuzz Faces with slightly mismatched transistors (i.e. warm vintage fuzz) but in an all new pedalboard friendly size! So if the unwieldy shape of the original put you off you're going to love getting the classic warm 60s fuzz tone from a pedal that now fits happily on your board!
