Welcome to Perky's Analog Gear Demos. Please subscribe for more demos of vintage & rare effects pedals!

Here is everybody's favourite Fuzz Face clone - the outstanding Sun Face from Mike Piera at Analogman. This pedal is widely regarded as being one of the best FF's you can buy - and Mike sure knows his stuff when it comes to tuning this circuit and speccing them out.

You can choose what transistors you'd like in your Sun Face when ordering - this one has the medium gain Germanium NKT Red Dots, which (now that there's pretty much no genuine NOS NKT275s left in the world!) are the new 'holy grail' of Ge transistors.

Mike says these transistors were made at the Newmarket factory & sound absolutely identical to the old Red Dot NKT275s they used to use. They probably are identical transistors - they just have a different part number after the NKT, probably for a specific client back in the day.

This is one of my all-time favourite pedals...it has an amazingly warm & rounded low end and - as with the best Ge Fuzz Faces - cleans up incredibly well with the guitar's volume. It's a totally interactive experience using this pedal and so much fun to play & control.

What do you think? The best FF clone you can buy? Magic transistors? Epic clean-up? Or not for you? Comment below!
