A killer example of the legendary Fuzz Face circuit — hand-built in England in the 1990s by amp guru Dennis Cornell, this Dallas Arbiter reissue nails the fat, wooly, germanium-style fuzz tones that defined Hendrix, Gilmour, and early fuzz history. Fully functional, all original, and loaded with mojo.
This 1990s Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face is one of the most respected reissues of the original Arbiter circuit, built by renowned British builder Dennis Cornell, who was contracted by Arbiter/Fender Europe during this era to recreate the classic fuzz using old-school components and vintage-accurate construction.
Unlike mass-produced modern versions, these Cornell-built units are known for their authentic response, smooth clean-up, rich midrange, and the classic low-gain wooliness that vintage Fuzz Faces are famous for. It reacts beautifully to your guitar’s volume knob — from gritty edge-of-breakup to full, saturated fuzz.
This pedal is in great overall condition, shows normal cosmetic wear for a 30-year-old unit, and is fully tested and working properly. It appears fully original aside from a fresh 9V battery. The original packaging is not included.
A fantastic opportunity to grab a true vintage-built Fuzz Face with character, history, and killer tone.
