Product Overview
The Band of Gypsys Fuzz Face Mini represents years of meticulous research and engineering to recreate one of the most elusive and sought-after fuzz tones in guitar history.

The result is a pedal that captures the snarling, aggressive bite that made those historic performances so sonically distinctive.
Based on a modified Octavio circuit with the octave up signal removed, this fuzz delivers the raw, singing sustain and dynamic response that defined Hendrix's tone during his most creative period. The circuit responds beautifully to guitar volume controls and picking dynamics, allowing for everything from gentle overdrive to full-blown fuzz mayhem. The compact Fuzz Face Mini housing makes this legendary tone accessible for modern pedalboards while maintaining the authentic circuit characteristics.

The pedalboard-friendly size ensures this historic tone can integrate seamlessly into contemporary guitar rigs without compromising the authentic circuit design or tonal character.
