Dunlop produced the JDF2-U Fuzz Face Distortion as a reproduction of the vintage Fuzz Face circuit, positioning it as a faithful recreation of the original Germanium PNP transistor-based design within their effects line.
The unit was built to vintage specifications and centres on a Germanium PNP transistor circuit, which Dunlop associated with the rich, creamy fuzz character of the original. Electrically, the pedal presents a 10 kΩ input impedance and an output impedance that varies with the volume control — 2 kΩ at maximum volume and 115 kΩ at mid volume — a behaviour inherent to the classic Fuzz Face topology. Maximum gain is rated at 45 dB. The bypass implementation is true hardwire. Power draw is 500 µA from a 9-volt DC supply.
Owners sourcing replacement transistors, pots or other internal components, or seeking help dialling in the impedance interaction with upstream and downstream signal chain, should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with vintage germanium fuzz circuits.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
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.
