fuck vs mini

[sonidero]

Boner?

Dudes,

I had a Fuck for quite a while last year, but then decided to let it go because I was over my 10 pedal limit. Now I have a space, and am looking for something that can do a solid overdrive (which the Fuck does), but then also do some neat 60s fuzztones. I'm talking like the Beatles "Revolver" kinda fuzz tones. I see that the Mini has the bias knob and a bass roll-off, correct?

Any of you dorks really into the Beatles and have a Mini and could tell me if I could get lovely overdrive AND some prickly 60s fuzz sounds as well? I'm not into "fuzz" pedals for 60s fuzz... I like to fuck around with overdrives like what would have been used overdriving a Vox amp or the preamps in their recording consoles.

Thank you friends.

The mini does this. You can get some chewy fuzzy sounds. When I got it, I definitely was able to get some Fuzztone sounds out of it. The bass knob add and reduces bass.

The mini totally does that stuff, you can get some really sick fuzz tones with thw bias rolled back.

[Eric!]

dat crackle. GOTTA have dat crackle.

After have 3 Fucks and 1 Mini.

I sold the Mini, and kept my Arctic-finished Fuck. It sounded the best.

BTW, It sounds better than 21 or so other overdrives I've been through.

i have a mini incoming--- you BITCHES better be right-

[coldbrightsunlight]

Got a fuck in a (maybe temp) trade for the mini, and I dunno if it's the way I had the mini set but it really sounds different. Not better or worse or no sound I could get close to with the mini, just a bit different. Shame I couldn't have them side by side (guess I gotta buy one of each lol).

It's cool having all the control on the mini but it's ALSO cool having the only controls I care about on the fuck being volume and gain. And the crackle is fun! They really are different pedals.

[ChetMagongalo]

Yeah I agree they sound pretty different

[smallsnd/bigsnd]

yep different enough to have them both!

[coldbrightsunlight]

Don't think I'm not building up to that.

got a Mini in a (hopefully not temp) trade with Patrick here

it IS different, must be the Bias and EQ, they feel like they have a big influence on how it clips and how it reacts to stuff... Big Fuck felt more... like it had its own strong personality that not everyone likes and not everything works with it, whereas Mini is more adaptable and agreeable (don't mean it in a bad way)

for example Mini works much better with a brighter amp and bright guitar i'd say

I recently decided that I need more Fuck than Fuck, so I'll be adding a Fuck along with the Mini and TAFM. Gonna go for some dedicated crackle

well done sir.

I spent a lot of time in this thread, and after having the Mini quite some time, I now finally have both (and TAFM!) and can confirm that there is no right answer.

However, my initial impression is Fuck has more knob turning fun than the Mini. When I first heard the description of the Fuck as a pursuit of the Disintegration Loops I knew I needed it. It is as awesome as I hoped. I've been getting increasingly into sounds that are both lush and messed up and a bit glitchy and the Fuck is going to get a lot of use in pushing forward in this sounds.

The Mini is a good choice if you are going to hone in on a sound and then leave it alone. The Fuck is a good choice if you are going to interact with the pedal. Getting both is a good choice because . They're both rad and they feel very different although having the same basic tonal quality
