Dunlop Unveils Talk Box and Fuzz Face Mini Models

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) ā€“ The Talk Box is a classic effectā€”you can hear it on some of the greatest songs ever recorded, across genres and time, from funk and ā€™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-friendlyā€”you donā€™t have to lug around a separate rig or patch into your ampā€™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 ā€™66-ā€™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 specā€™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.
