Can anyone suggest an excellent, stompbox-sized germanium fuzz face clone? I've been considering the analogman sun face as it gets rave reviews but was wondering what else there is out there before I make a decision.

Cheers!

    Lee will even build it for you for a small price!... go for the ac128 option.

    Moving my MI Audio Neo Fuzz with AC128s in if you’re interested in that.

    There's a small company that go by the name of Fulltone which make nice germanium fuzz. Turn the bias all the way up (input) and contour right down. Only £100 sh. Don't know why they don't get more love TBH.

    Throbak Fuzz Haze - I had one for sale on here for a couple of months, but it sold last week.

    MJM London Fuzz (red version) - I have one I might trade,

    Fulltone '69 - go relatively cheaply on ebay used, i've noticed lately.  'getting the sense that Fulltone generally isn't as desirable anymore; maybe not trendy enough.

    I do have for sale straight-up boutique silicon Fuzz Faces for sale if that is any good;  also, germanium Tonebenders mk2 / mk3.

    p.s.
    btw, MI Audio Neo Fuzz isn't a Fuzz Face clone.

    If you’re after Hendrix fuzz, the answer is simple: Sonus. Patrizio is in my mind the top YouTube Hendrix player and his Pedal builds are of simple beauty. 
    A warning: germanium can be noisy. If you want zero hum, look for something else. My germanium sounds incredible but I can’t suffer the accompanying noise forcing me to stick with silicon. I’ve had my hands on a dozen 60/70 original fuzzfaces and they’re so bloody noisy. And big. And expensive. And always breaking.
