Dunlop Unveils Talk Box and Fuzz Face Mini Models

Press Release

At NAMM 2013, Dunlop released a Talk Box with its own amp and speaker driver along with three different Fuzz Face Mini models-Germanium, Silicon, and Hendrix.

Benicia, CA (January 24, 2013) – The Talk Box is a classic effect—you can hear it on some of the greatest songs ever recorded, across genres and time, from funk and ’70s rock to hard rock and metal. Its unique, highly expressive character is instantly recognizable.

The MXR team has fine-tuned the Talk Box for modern gigging convenience and tone sculpting while maintaining the unmistakable sonic character that made the effect legendary. With its own amp and speaker driver, the MXR Talk Box is compact and pedalboard-friendly—you don’t have to lug around a separate rig or patch into your amp’s speaker output. And with Volume, Tone and Gain controls, you can shape and add texture to your Talk Box voice for maximum impact.

Like all MXR pedals, the MXR Talk Box is built into a sturdy, road-ready housing to endure the rigors of the road. Includes an 18-volt power supply, an 8' surgical tube and a mic standclip.

The Fuzz Face Mini pedal line features legendary Fuzz Face tones in smaller, more pedalboard-friendly housings with several modern appointments: true bypass switching, a bright status LED, an AC power jack and a convenient battery door.

The FFM2 Germanium Fuzz Face Mini is based on ’66-’68 era pre-silicon Fuzz Faces famous for warm vintage fuzz tones provided by slightly mismatched germanium transistors.

The FFM1 Silicon Fuzz Face Mini is spec’d from a 1970 Fuzz Face in our own collection prized for its bright and aggressive Fuzz Face sound delivered by its matched BC108 silicon transistors.

The FFM3 Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face Mini has the exact same circuit as the JHF1 in smaller housing, delivering the thick, smooth Fuzz Face tone that Jimi Hendrix made famous in a pedalboard-friendly size.

on 01/24/2013 		Not for nothing. I really like the idea of the mini fuzz face. BUT, I feel like the scale and proportion of the knobs and the rubber are off in comparison to the dimensions of housing. And it kinda bugs me. Although that can probably be fixed with finding smaller knobs. But the rubber just looks kind of too big. Also, where is the smile? I really love the smile.

I gusee I'l have to see one in person. I think this is a great idea, and can be REALLY awesome with some personal mods. I'm not knocking it, I just thuink it looks a bot "off" is all.

on 01/24/2013 		Those mini Fuzz Faces are the most adorable things I've ever seen. I'll be sure to pick up one of the germanium ones. Wonder if they cost any more or less than regular Fuzz Faces. I know that the mini Big muff has essentially the same electronics in a smaller package, but it's cheaper, and I hope it's the same for these ones.
