Description

Dunlop produced the FFM3-U Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face Mini Distortion as a compact-format variant of the JHF1 Fuzz Face, positioned to deliver the same fuzz character in a reduced housing. It carried the Jimi Hendrix designation within Dunlop's Fuzz Face Mini line.

The pedal offered up to 55 dB of gain and operated on a 9-volt DC power supply, drawing 3.4 mA. Input impedance measured 10 kΩ; output impedance varied with the volume control, running below 16 kΩ at maximum volume and up to 66 kΩ at mid volume — a characteristic relevant to signal chain placement and interaction with downstream pedals. Bypass was implemented as true hardwire. Convenience features included a status LED, an AC power jack, and a battery door, none of which appeared on the original full-size reference design.

Owners tracing replacement parts, power supply compatibility, or signal chain placement should consult a qualified guitar technician or electronics repair specialist familiar with effects pedal circuitry.

Put yours on the record.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
