The Analog.Man Sun Face is a high quality fuzz for seekers of the ultimate early fuzz face sound. The Analog.Man Sun Face is the standard 1960’s germanium circuit with a few tweaks to make it easier to use and sound better:

  • True bypass on / off switch, no loss of tone when off. (same as original)
  • Battery disconnected when INPUT cord removed (input is on the right).
  • Positive ground - you can not share power with normal pedals. Isolated power is required. Power jack is normal polarity for ease of use.
  • Volume Knob needs no explanation.
  • Fuzz knob: Best to keep it up all the way or close, and use the VOLUME knob on your guitar or the CLEAN TRIMMER knob to control the amount of fuzz.
