DAN AGOSTO: Hi. Welcome to Gearwire. We're taking a look at the Dunlop Fuzz Face. It's a classic pedal popularized probably by Jimi Hendrix and this is designed after the original.

Let's take a look. It's a big pedal, got a big footprint. With it we get the Power Brick advertisement; you can power, I believe, a bunch of pedals with that. MXR catalog you can get with these Dunlop pedals as well. I have a slot of the MXR classic pedals. Here's the registration; the postage is paid on here. Crybaby catalogue; here's a bunch of different models of the Crybaby. And here we have the instructions. It's a very simple pedal so just very simple instructions on how to put on a batter and it shows you the inside of the pedal. There's only about three parts; there's a lot of empty space inside this pedal. Basically you just unscrew the middle screw. Let's take a look at that.

You unscrew the middle screw over here and the whole back would come off. Take a look at the front of the pedal; it sort of looks like a face. There we have our bypass switch, and then we have two knobs, the volume and on the other side we have the fuzz.

So it's a pretty simple pedal, standard instrument inputs and outputs. There's your input and output, and that's the Dunlop Fuzz Face out of the box.

Hi. We're back, and we got the Dunlop Fuzz Face plugged in; it's ready to go. I'm playing a Fender American Standard Telecaster. It's plugged into a Marshall JCM2000 half stack mic'ed up with a Shure SM57. Now I'm on -- I'm using the bridge pickup on the guitar. Let's see what kind of sound we're getting.

All right, I'm going to bring the pedal in.

So we get a nice, warm fuzz out of that. You lose a bit of the definition o the sound. That's a classic fuzz tone that you would get out of it. I'm going to give it a little extra volume with this knob, a little extra volume with this knob. They have rubber washers around it so it makes it kind of hard to see the -- where the knob is pointing, but basically down here it's kind of pointing in this direction. That's all the way down...,

...and all the way up will be over here, sort of in that direction.

So we get a lot of fuzz in there, it's a classic fuzzy tone, and that's the Dunlop Fuzz Face. Thanks for checking it out here at Gearwire.Com.
