The Fuzz Face is an effects pedal for electric guitar, used also by some electric bass players. It is designed to produce a distorted sound referred to as "fuzz", originally achieved through accident such as broken electrical components or damaged speakers.
English: Sound demo of a fuzz face clone pedal into distortion (Blackstar HT Dual, 2nd channel). Volume of the fuzz is maxed to push the gain of the tube distortion. I play on my Yamaha Pacifica 112 on the humbucker, volume at 10 where the fuzz blooms. Fuzz is the Mojo Fuzz Deluxe BC 108 by MojoGear (handmade boutique clone of the fuzzface)
The Tone Bender MKII is a three transistor circuit [1] based on the MKI.5 version, but with an additional amplifier gain stage. Sola Sound produced the circuit for Vox (who sold their version as the "Vox Tone Bender Professional MKII"), [5] Marshall (who sold their version as the "Marshall Supa Fuzz"), [6] and Rotosound (who sold their version as the "RotoSound Fuzz Box".

Jimi Hendrix popularized the Fuzz Face and was known to buy multiple copies at a time to identify the best ones; his pedal chain often consisted of a wah-wah pedal into a Fuzz Face, then into a Uni-Vibe. [8] Other notable users include Duane Allman, [9] Stevie Ray Vaughan [10] Pete Townshend, [11] Eric Johnson, [12] and George Harrison. [13] [14]
I think the idea that all a fuzz box does is somehow introduce clipping isn't at all correct and overly simplistic. As a kid I copied the fuzz face circuit many times over using different transistors, and most times found that when looked at via oscilloscope that the output wasn't actually clipping at all but simply had limited high frequency AM modulation superimposed on the original signal ...
The actor looks back at his controversial "brownface" character in the 1986 comedy, which recently celebrated its 35th anniversary.
The top panel was labeled with Pro Co Sound "The RAT" and the three control knobs as Distortion, Tone and Volume. Between 1979 and 1980 there were several cosmetic changes to the pedal as Pro Co worked to source knobs and print the labels on the pedal, but the circuit remained largely unchanged. In 1981 the Rat saw its first circuit change.
