When I started this Youtube trip back in 2008, Tim Cooper was one of my first acquaintances and has remained a family friend ever since, despite his living in the UK and my never actually having met him. Under the original moniker of Fuzzfaceless Pedals and now Faceless FX, Tim has built me some of my most coveted fuzzes. This is one of the first, a lovingly built NOS MKI that spits and soars and roars. The two concentric controls on the exterior are bias controls for the first and second transistors (I think!). Tim's pedals I will never sell. Unfortunately Tim prefers Marmite over Vegemite but I guess we all have our faults.

If you want one of these, go and hassle Tim on his Facebook page or at the Haunting Mids forum. Cheers.
