Tru-Fi Two Face
Tru Fi · pedal
The Tru-Fi Two Face is a dual-transistor Fuzz Face style pedal offering both a germanium transistor pair and a silicon transistor pair, switchable from one four-knob enclosure. A bias control fine-tunes the germanium side, while an input gain control ranges from ear-piercing highs to near Big Muff levels of saturation. The germanium setting delivers warm, harmonically rich grit, while the silicon setting produces a cooler, more searing aggression, giving the pedal a notably darker overall voicing than many competing dual-fuzz designs. Reviewers rate it as one of the best value options among dual germanium and silicon Fuzz Face style pedals. Suited to players who want both classic vintage fuzz flavors in one enclosure without buying two separate pedals.
