What the fuck are you doing with your life?

Why are you wasting money on shit like baby food and toothpaste when you could have TOAN?

Try a Mini, friends. Do it.

I've owned two Fucks. Ne'er a Mini. I admit, I'm fucking up.

besides the added bass, how is it tonally different from the Fuck?
i like the size of the Mini especially the 125B ones with the topjacks but a big reason why i like my Fuck is that crackle side. the Fuck is really nice as an OD but what really sets it apart from every other cool sounding OD for me is that footswitchable crackle.if the Fuck with the 2nd footswitch could be squeezed into a 125B (bass knob would be good to have but not essential for me in an OD) that would be perfect

I have to say I also prefer the big fuck, the mini wasn't for me

I have a Fuck and a Mountain Range, and while I've certainly been tempted by the mini (particularly the new top-mounted version) it just seems like it would be kind of redundant. I feel like I'd be better served buying some more fuzz or a pitch-shifter or something if I were to buy a new pedal.

bitch ass punks cant handle the crackle.

Had the Fuck for a long time. Never tried a Mini.

Convince me harder please.

I am the opposite thing, and I really want to try a Fuck. Anyone wanna do swapsies for a bit so we can try the other out?

I CAN FINALLY ANSWER THIS.

I tried a Fuck a long time ago when Schnikes let me borrow his. I admit I did not spend a whole lot of time with it but with everything cranked it sounded wonderful and got close to fuzz territory.

Flash forward a few months to a year and I got my first Mini. Use it religiously.
Flash forward to yesterday and I get a Fuck.

So to compare the two- the Mini can get more fuzzy. As such I like using it towards the front if the chain as a pre dirt booster and general overdrive. The bias control in my opinion is vastly different from Fuck crackle- more stable, ie it doesn't have a threshold that it needs to cross for the bias to start working. Where the Fuck can sound blown out, the Mini gets Lofi, full of Velcro and starvation, but not unstable blown speaker stuff.

The tone controls are vastly different between the two- on the Fuck the tone simply rolls of highs, but on the Mini you can actually shape the EQ a bit with the two tone knobs. It's not like SUPER RIDICULOUS exaggerated tone control a la a DOD Death Metal or anything, but you can do more than just roll off highs.

But I found myself wanting to do two things with the mini- have it in the front as a near fuzz/fuzzy drive, and have it post everything other than stereo delay/verb so that I could get those sunburnt trails that I love after my mono delays and verbs. Both of them sit at the end of the chain wonderfully, but damnit do I love having the Fuck at the end, crackle on, using a volume pedal to control the signal volume coming into the Fuck to make it either crackle or just do its sunburnt thing, threshold set high.

As far as bass goes- the Mini definitely shines with its EQ system in keeping the low end it tact a little more or even being able to slightly boost it. But both still sound awesome on bass.

Someone (multiple people) should do a demo of Fuck vs. Mini on bass and guitar... Try to show the unique aspects of each.

I will make one in the next few weeks!

Sweeet. It seems to be a topic that comes up often enough.

i am one of these people
just got a fuck bout a month ago
i use it to od the low end side of my setup
if mini has mo bass
minis what i need i think
gain almost full
high cut maxed
volume at noon
i dont normally have the crackle on
cause i havent messed with it enough
to use it properly
but the fuck itself is always on
ive taken most of the other effects off the bass amp
only the fuck and ps5 detune and ps 6 -1oct
sometimes ill use the acoustics built in tremolo-o-o-o
sounds so freakin good

Yeah, I have been torn between the two, don't have the cake for both. Looking forward to Skully's vid.
