Somehow I could not get into the Fuck. But I love the Mini and the DTF.

The voicing is a little different, DTF is more trebley, an excellent sound for cutting, post-punk style riffs. Mini can be lots more bass and sounds more D00M, if you like it to.

I vote Mini > DTF.


(1-trick-guy too, I have set the DTF once and since then enjoy it.)

I absolutely love the Mini. I find the Mini/Fuck circuit to be moderately bright though! Unless I turn the crackle on the Fuck, then I get some more low end. And the Mini, well, it obv has an EQ advantage over the Fuck. But I'm surprised to hear the Demo Tape can seem brighter. In fact I recently decided to keep the Fuck on crackle mode permanently to get that low end. Makes me wonder if replacing it with a DTF is a good idea after all. I guess I would still have to try it.

At this point I can't see myself getting rid of the Mini, nor my Elements.
So it's definitely back to FUCK vs. DTF.

curious about the remarks on the difference between Mini and regular Fuck

could the Mini get more... round? I mean i don't need doom, but i'd like some of that roundness which would give my funk chops more of that "bam twangy roundess, oomph" that i connect with slightly crunchy JCM 800 i guess... that..

roundness

gnome sayin'?

I'm happy with my Fuck, not using the crackle whole a lot, probably because i'm stupid and can't figure it out... will try today at the rehearsal :) but there's always the though about swapping it for a Mini back in my head

it has a little more bass so it does sound a little more... round. the fuck is simply "voiced" for a more flat EQ overall with not too much emphasis on bass or treble - obviously you get more harmonics as you increase gain though.
