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.
The analysis-by-synthesis approach enabled the mapping of the 3D and 2D domains and a new representation of 3D shape and appearance. Their work is the first to introduce a statistical model for faces that enabled 3D reconstruction from 2D images and a parametric face space for controlled manipulation. [2]
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]
English: Sound demo of a silicon Fuzz Face clone (Mojo Gear Deluxe BC 108) into a tube distortion (HT Dual channel 2) into an ampeg octaver simulation and clean Fender amp simulation (Amplitube 4). Guitar is a Yamaha Pacifica 112, nek pickup.
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". [7]
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 ...
"Peach fuzz refers to those little baby hairs that glisten in the light, claiming real estate on your face, upper lip, cheek, and chin," says Delcy Stoddard, medical aesthetician at SkinSpirit ...
The origins of the Pro Co "The RAT" can be traced back to the mid-1970s, when Pro Co engineers, Scott Burnham and Steve Kiraly repaired and hot-rodded existing distortion pedals, such as the Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face. Burnham decided he could build a superior product from the ground up, and designed what would become "The RAT" pedal.
