Vintage Fuzz Tones in a Miniature Stompbox

The Classic 108 Fuzz Mini packs vintage fuzz tones into a pedalboard-friendly MXR mini housing. Plug in and saturate your guitar's tone with a round, dirty crunch reminiscent of a classic Fuzz Face, courtesy of a silicon BC-108 transistor. Dialing in your sound is easy — just crank the Output and Fuzz knobs on the Classic 108 Mini's no-nonsense interface and start jamming. You also get a Buffer switch that eliminates the high-frequency suck and oscillation caused by some wah pedals. The MXR Classic 108 Fuzz Mini features true bypass switching and can be powered by a 9-volt power adapter (sold separately).

No pedalboard is complete without a good fuzz

Fuzz pedals like the Classic 108 Mini can give you some of the same characteristics of distortion, such as long sustain and extra harmonic richness. But a good fuzz effect will sound almost glitchy and sputtery, as if the pedal is chewing on your signal and spitting it out. Running a fuzz into a barely overdriven tube amp and then kicking it on for solos is a time-honored way to whip an audience into a frenzy. You’ve heard countless examples of fuzz pedals, from classic acts like the Yardbirds to modern groups like Queens of the Stone Age. You'll be hard-pressed to find a guitarist here at Sweetwater without a fuzz on their pedalboard.

MXR Classic 108 Fuzz Mini Features:

  • Packs vintage fuzz tones into a pedalboard-friendly MXR mini housing
  • Silicon BC-108 transistor yields a round, dirty crunch reminiscent of a classic Fuzz Face
  • No-nonsense interface with easy-to-dial-in Output and Fuzz knobs
  • Buffer switch eliminates the high-frequency suck and oscillation caused by some wah pedals
  • True bypass switching keeps your tone intact when the pedal isn't in use
  • 9V power adapter sold separately

MXR Classic 108 Fuzz Mini

Great sounding pedal on my bass. Fits nicely on small pedalboard. The Buffer button gives more flexibility to dial in just the right amount of grit!
Rated 5/5

This Little Pedal Is Money

I had a Dunlop Fuzz Face Mini on my board and liked it but read about this little guy with the buffer....what a game changer. Now on my board (The dunlop is for sale) my tone has a a killer kick with a little fuzz (12-15%?) and heavy output, and the buffer on keeps it crisp...less dark. This is now my go to for boosting solos behind over drives for 70s and 80s rock. Just love this thing!

Review MXR M296 Classic 108 Fuzz Mini Pedal

This pedal packs a knockout punch....seriously. I use it for a little boost on any distortion that I'm using and it beefs it up exponentially without any unwanted noises or feedback. It is as advertised - A Classic.
Rated 4.5/5

Great Fuzz for the price

Its a great fuzz pedal, and it plays well with Wahs with the buffer. Between the range on the pedal and volume on your guitar there's a huge range of sound available. Nothing to complain about. I didn't give it a full 5 stars because I don't believe in perfection...there's always room to improve. But this is a really good little pedal.
Rated 4.5/5

A pedal board friendly fuzz face

Works great, sounds great, fits on the board. The only issue I have is that the buffer LED is blindingly bright.
