The MXR Dunlop Silicon Fuzz is a silicon transistor-based fuzz pedal from MXR and Jim Dunlop delivering the bright, cutting, consistently aggressive character of silicon fuzz transistors. The silicon circuit provides temperature-stable, reliably consistent fuzz performance that contrasts with the warmer but less consistent germanium alternative. Suited to classic rock, psychedelic, and lead playing where consistent bright fuzz character is the primary sonic goal.
The MXR SF01 Slash Fuzz is a signature fuzz pedal created in collaboration with Slash, the Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver guitarist, designed to recreate the Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face-style fuzz character that Slash uses for specific lead and rhythm moments. The silicon Fuzz Face-inspired circuit delivers the bright, cutting, consistently aggressive silicon fuzz character associated with classic rock lead playing, built to Slash's specific tonal requirements.
