Re: What are the chances of a 'clean face' pedal?

Thanks for the replies. The Giggity is at the top of my list. Very cool pedal.

Re: What are the chances of a 'clean face' pedal?

I will look into these pedals, for sure. Do any Giggity users think that it might be able to achieve this tone? I would like to look into that option, as well. With limited brick & mortar options near me, ordering without testing is the unfortunate reality. Can the Giggity draw out the same tone as a rolled-off fuzz?

What are the chances of a 'clean face' pedal?

I've been watching all of James Santiago's great videos doing demos of other manufacturers (Dunlop) Fuzz Face pedals. He always shows the guitar's volume roll-off, and the glassy cleans that can be achieved this way. People always tell me that this is the only way to get this tone - get a Fuzz Face, and roll back the volume on your guitar. I know it is sacrilege, but I ain't crazy about fuzz. Is there an existing pedal, or could one be created (a germanium-based 'clean' boost?) that can achieve this tone? I play almost entirely clean, all the time, and I would love (wishful thinking) to get this tone without a fuzz, and without the volume roll-off. Before people say, "Get a better amp", I play through several different amps (Fender Vibro King, a solid-state Princeton Chorus, and a Mustang IV modeling amp, and a solid-state Polytone Mini-Brute III), and among them I get some pretty good cleans, but there seems to be some real dynamics in the Fuzz Face roll-off tone that I'd like to get. Is there a 'Clean Face' pedal out there?
