Hey lads,
Best idea from Dunlop in a very long time:

Pretty awesome idea, might have saved a lot of people a lot of money on clones if they brought these out a few years ago.

Thanks lads,

Save a lot of money my ass, I'd rather make one for a fifth of the price, including an enclosure and a bias pot.

Nah, i wasn't talking about the DIY route (sorry if I implied that I did, I have a BYOC Scrambler and 250+). I was talking more along the lines of the Skinpimp/Analogman route.
Plus, I got the thing for $80 at a Prymax Vintage sale, so no complaints from me there.

There are more versatile and better value-for-money alternatives out there I guess, but if you really have your heart set on a Dunlop-branded Fuzz Face I think this is a no-brainer. Unless you don't care about pedalboard space, ease of battery access or 9V power jack, in which case I'd like to know why not! My only other question would be why they didn't make them sooner really.

I honesty did just think this one sounded better than a lot of the alternatives that I tried in my local store. I wasn't that big a fan of the BBE Free Fuzz and the Classic 108 that I tried barely made it above unity.
Just the impressions that they left on me.

This... Multiplied by about 10 years.
