Visitors of this website probably remember that there were many interesting reviews about each and every product that this website had to offer. At one point, KR Musical Products published a short article about the Hendrix Fuzz Face pedal. Like all their products, this pedal was presented to be a recreation of a vintage style pedal.
The Hendrix Fuzz Face Pedal can be powered with a 9v battery or through a pedal power 2 or DC Brick, as well as by any other kind of external power supply one would think of using. Easy to use, it features volume controls and fuzz controls. It is quite a straight-forward pedal. Anybody who’s passionate about pedals will soon realize that in order to get a perfect sound out of this model one needs to have a good amp.
One can easily get the full range of sounds out of this vintage model if one learns how to set the guitar volume knobs. After playing around a bit with these knobs things should be really easy, resulting into the real ‘60s fuzz tone, very Jimmy Hendrix –like. If the guitars’ volume are at full, the amp is on clean and the pedal settings are at 100%, nothing can go wrong. This pedal is said to also be very, very resistant, practically built to last for a lifetime.
It features both PNP and NPN silicon transistors, which makes it possible to obtain a smoother vintage style fuzz tone. It has also got a smoother high end than most pedals and also more gain.
Also, the website said that this pedal, like the other KR products is made manually, with great care. Another convenient detail is that like all products sold by KR Musical Products, this improved pedal always came with one year warranty to the original purchaser.
