I mean, there's trashy/dirty, and then there this. Way too scratchy and shrill, close to the tone I started out with 20 years ago. Little Gorilla combo with a ripped up speaker, and a ds-1 with a dead battery. No offence, to each their own I guess
It did make me notice a little thing called the 'Velcrobot' though. I need another fuzz as much as I need an asshole on my elbow, but goddamn do I WANT IT
There was supposed to be a video but I dont know what the camera did and I ended up with a 28 minutes of what seems to be slightly slower motion.
Also sorry for the stupid buzzing I dont know whats up with the mic today.
Ibanez Jet king II -> SS/BS Mini -> Dr Scientist Reverberator -> Fender Twin Reverb
I'll see if I can do a demo of the arc flash and the mini. Yes, the arch flash can get trashy but it is a godly overdrive that definitely gets into mini territory. Will hopefully do it on the weekend.

That’s quarter-assed at best.

I'm pretty sure it's overdriven jfets, so no. Feel wise, I get that guess. Clip didn't sound unlike the Tornita, which is a modified FF that sounds faintly amp-like for what still sounds pretty FF.
I could swear I asked Brian and he said yeah it was based on the fuzz face...with an added preamp?
I flipped a Fuck for the Fuck Mountain which is a Mini+Mountain Range. Also have a TAFM. Makes my Nord Electro sound big and warm or horribly ferocious. I'm not a ssbs fanboy but they are the best od/fuzzes for my keyboards.

I think that's the TAFM.
Yeah I can't remember, or find the post. That would mean the fuck od was based on the fuzz face too. I believe I saw four transistors in my TAFM, and the fuzz face uses two I think...I don't know if that proves anything.

Yeah I'm 100% sure the TAFM is a based on the fuzz face but highly highly modified
Also have never heard that the fuck/mini is based on the fuzz face, I could be wrong but I'm fairly sure it's not
Regardless they all sound great

truth. I've been getting to know my v2 tafm, and have had a fuck od as a go to pedal for a long time. Never tried the mini but I've always wondered.... I just figured I had it covered with the fuck but that bias knob
I think the Mini has better tone sculpting capabilities. And the bias greatly affects the character of the dirt. I think the Mini can get heavier too. And I could never get the "chunk" I wanted out of the Fuck. I tried one and traded it for a mini.
I concur, the mini rules so hard! I sometimes miss my fuck for the momentary crackle but I prefer the mini's expanded low end and bias control. Sounds mean and thick in high gain settings but I usually set gain moderately on mine.
Also, that new inverse print on satin black mini is the titz!

Do you think they both share the same fuzzy tendencies tone wise?
They're both definitely fuzzy. I just found the fuck to be a little smoother overall. The mini can be pretty smooth/transparent, but it definitely gets gnarlier.
