FUZZ FACE Style Pedals: Modern "Fuzz Faces" that are not Vintage

One of the most significant topics in the effects pedal scene in recent years has been nothing short of "vintage fuzz. In the past few years, various models from the 1960s have begun to be unearthed around the world, and many of them are now fetching premium prices. One of the most popular models is the "Fuzz Face. Jimi Hendrix loved this fuzz, and its popularity still hasn't faded away. This time, we would like to feature "Fuzz Face" ......, which is no longer available for ordinary people to see. Still, we would like to introduce some builders who love the tone of the "Fuzz Face" and are determined to reissue it, as well as some of their unique interpretations. The theme of this project is not "Fuzz Face," which is no longer even loved by ordinary people, but "Fuzz Face Today," which has been improved and developed by builders who love the sound of "Fuzz Face" and their interpretations. In other words, the "Fuzz Face" was completely forgotten in the 1980s, and we will try to unravel what happened to it after that. We will examine why "Fuzz Face" began to attract remarkable attention again in the 1990s and after and what kind of thinking went into the creation of the modern fuzz derived from it. We will also look into the appeal of "Fuzz Face" type fuzzes, which have become a must-have item for all guitarists, and not just for enthusiasts.
