New pedal available:
AUTHENTIC HENDRIX® '69 PSYCH SERIES FUZZ FACE®DISTORTION
JHW1
It has both Germanium and Silicon transistors (switchable), and a buffer switch so it can go anywhere in the chain. Best of all, it's $129.00 US

Cool graphics too.

It's a whole new line, all mini format, all 129.00.

I was just hoping to share my GAS. Ain't I a stinker!

The only question left for me is new or used. It might take a while for used ones to hit the market. I don't think I can wait.

Oh, the other pedals are..
The Octavio, Uni-Vibe and Band Of Gypsys Fuzz. There are some extra tweaks to many of these pedals.
 
But then I have to wait for some 15 year old's mom to buy it for him, then he'll realize it doesn't make him play like Jimi and then sell it.
 
Cool look and fairly reasonable pricing, also nice that it's a mini pedal. The downside of that is, of course, no room inside for a battery.

I do love the sound and feel of a good Fuzzface; it's just pure 1960s. And they clean up beautifully when you back off your guitar's volume knob. I've gone as far as to call that effect instant Jimi semicleans, and it's something all Fuzzface-derived circuits seem to have in common. Magic with a Strat, but mighty good with low-output humbuckers too, especially the bright ones.

I feel every guitarist should have at least one Fuzzface in their arsenal.
 
Be careful. I heard a demo with too much noise on the germanium side. There is also a review that states the germanium signal to noise ratio is so low, it's almost unusable.

Review: Dunlop Authentic Hendrix ’69 Psych Series Pedals

Jimi will forever be the guitarist’s guitarist – and these four trippy-looking miniature stompers are designed to bring his fuzzed-out, spaced-out magic to modern pedalboards.

I heard the demo, and that all but killed to for me. With that review, I thought I'd mention it. My germanium ff has little noise.

Looks awsome. Too bad bout the noise level. I have a Treble booster that is noisy. Doesn't get used cause of it. Works as designed but I couldn't take the extraneous noise in the long run.

Sure like the clips of this one. Spendy but it's like having a few fuzzes in one box.
