Dunlop PSF30 vs Mooer MFZ1 Blue Faze

The Dunlop PSF30 and the Mooer MFZ1 Blue Faze are both pedals sharing silicon, fuzzy, sustaining. The Dunlop PSF30 leans aggressive and saturated. The Mooer MFZ1 Blue Faze leans warm and smooth. Current prices: $199.99 vs $39.75.

Similarity
citedBlended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The Dunlop PSF30 Screamadelica Fuzz Face is a limited-edition silicon Fuzz Face Distortion celebrating the 30th anniversary of Primal Scream's landmark 1991 album Screamadelica. It delivers saturated silicon fuzz tones — aggressive, harmonically dense, and suited to the distorted, psychedelic character of early 1990s alternative and electronic-influenced rock. The circular enclosure carries the iconic Screamadelica sun-face artwork. True bypass.

The Mooer Blue Faze (MFZ1) is a micro fuzz built around a silicon BC108C transistor circuit -- a Fuzz Face-style design in one of the smallest enclosures on the market. Its two-knob layout of Fuzz and Volume keeps things simple, and the voicing is smooth, warm and vintage rather than spiky or gated, giving the woolly, psychedelic saturation associated with late-'60s and '70s fuzz. Like the circuit it descends from, it is highly responsive to the guitar's volume control: rolled back it thins to a clean or lightly broken-up tone, and opened up it thickens into full singing fuzz. A full metal shell, true bypass and a 3mA current draw make it an efficient pocket-sized way to get classic silicon fuzz onto a crowded board.
