A Fuzz Face-style circuit built around two hand-picked, matched germanium transistors, tuned for fat, harmonic fuzz that cleans up genuinely well when you roll back your guitar’s volume.
Key Features
- Fuzz Face-style circuit with hand-picked, matched germanium transistors
- Contour control dials in midrange, harmonics, and sustain
- Input Bias control removes low-end “woofiness”
- Internal trimmer for clipping symmetry, harmonics, and tracking
- Cleans up dynamically via your guitar’s own volume control
Controls
- Fuzz: sets the amount of fuzz
- Volume: sets the output level
- Contour: dials in midrange, harmonics, and sustain character
- Input Bias: removes excess low-end “woofiness”; reducing its level opens up more overdrive/distortion-style tones rather than full fuzz
- Internal trimmer: adjusts clipping symmetry, harmonics, and tracking for further fine-tuning
Power
This pedal requires a centre-positive 9V DC power supply — the opposite polarity from most pedals. A standard centre-negative supply will not work correctly and may cause damage. Use only a dedicated centre-positive 9V adapter (2.1mm) or a compatible battery.
Who Is This For
Worth a look if you want classic late-60s germanium fuzz with genuine touch-sensitivity — cleaning up from your guitar’s volume knob rather than a fixed, one-note fuzz tone.
Watch It In Action
What does the Fulltone 69 Mk II do?
It’s a Fuzz Face-style germanium fuzz built around hand-picked, matched transistors, tuned for fat, harmonic fuzz that cleans up well when you roll back your guitar’s volume.
What power supply does the 69 Mk II need?
A centre-positive 9V DC supply only — the opposite polarity from most pedals. A standard centre-negative supply will not work correctly and may cause damage.
Is the 69 Mk II true bypass or buffered?
We’re confirming this detail and will update this answer shortly.
What does the Input Bias control do?
It removes excess low-end ‘woofiness’. Reducing its level opens up more overdrive/distortion-style tones rather than full fuzz.
Can I use a standard 9V power supply?
No. This pedal requires centre-positive polarity due to its germanium transistors, which is the reverse of a standard centre-negative supply. Using the wrong polarity may damage the pedal.
