GE black vintage germanium transistor low gain December 5, 2025 Reviewer: Taylor from British Columbia, Canada   After considerable research I ordered the General Electric black vintage germanium transistor—low gain option with clean and sundial knobs, as well as LED and power jack. I’m looking for rhythm friendly cleanup with an emphasis on dynamic edge of breakup grit that’s highly responsive to pick attack. Well, this pedal does that and more. With the pedal volume just past unity, the fuzz maxed, and the clean knob around 2 o’clock, the tones from 7-10 on my guitar volume are heavenly. In short, this pedal is amazing and I could not be happier. Notes: The clean knob is a must for dialling in the perfect fuzz tone. I’ve found less use for the sundial knob, however, I always play in a temperature stable environment. Comes with a non-alkaline battery installed. The hunt for the perfect fuzz is over.

SUNFACE October 21, 2025 Reviewer: Kyle from Michigan   I own three Sunfaces (2N, BC-183, and 2SB171).  The 2SB171 is usually my go-to as I prefer a slightly darker tone.  The 2N is similar but appears to be a little brighter. Both of these pedals clean up very well and can be used throughout the guitars entire volume range.  They are very close in tone but at louder volumes the difference is noticeable.  I often use these two with my guitar’s volume knob turned down to about 7-9 for more of a classic overdriven or distorted tone. The BC-183 is great for outright fuzz. Although high in gain, it seems more even and less spiky in areas.  However, being Silicon, the BC-183 doesn’t clean up as well as the 2N and 2SB171.  With that said, I often prefer the BC-183 when I simply need fuzz.  A great pedal for its intended purpose. Amy and Mike have always been VERY helpful as well! Was this review helpful to you?

Sun Face BART/RCA Hybrid February 7, 2025 Reviewer: Mike Bruley from Calgary, Alberta   Sun Face BART/RCA Hybrid - First Analog Man pedal I ever plugged in, and all I can say is, wow! Such a full sounding fuzz, responds amazingly to my guitars volume knob, and build quality is top notch! The only downside is the Analog Man addiction that has followed since trying this pedal! Customer service was amazing, and Analog Man has earned a lifelong customer. I hope to try more Sun Face variations in the future! Was this review helpful to you?

Sunface BART - amazing, HUGE tones October 13, 2024 Reviewer: Geir Magnus Knardahl from Oslo, Oslo Norway   Recently pulled the trigger on a Sunface BART. The amount of volume and sheer size of tone blew me away. Lots of volume and fuzz on tap, but still possible to dial the fuzz back and the Sun Dial gives even more flexibility in sounds - excellent clean up for those Hendrix cleans. I also bought the limited edition Pedal Pawn fuzz with the 2N404 transistors, and while the PP fuzz sounds good the overall quality of build and sound doesn’t compare in my opinion. The Sunface offers significantly less noise at much higher gain and volume, and where the PP gives a loud and distinct pop when engaging, the BART is quite. My only regret is not investing in an Analogman Sunface earlier. Sure to say, the BART will not be my last Sunface. PS: Asked Mike on Instagram for tips on a low/medium gain Sunface and he answered within an hour. Pretty awesome customer service!

Best Vintage style fuzzface August 24, 2024 Reviewer: Matt Swanton from Leominster, MA United States   I opted for the vintage germanium transistors. I am absolutely in love. Smooth breakup, caves in when you dig in, cleans up nicely and gets glassy on the top end like a good vintage fuzzface should. Can't recommend this enough for anyone looking for a vintage type fuzzface built right with good components. Thinking about adding a bc108 version to my collection as well!

Sunface CV7005 Low Gain March 24, 2024 Reviewer: JJ from Queensland, Australia.   This low gain version of the cv7005 is a less fuzzy fuzz even when the fuzz dial is cranked. Turning up the sunfaces volume dial pushing into the amp creates much thicker fuzz tones. The most important thing for me is a fuzz that can turn down. Turning down the guitar volume with the cv7005 low gain produces hands down the most natural sounding drive I've ever had out of a pedal. The drive reacts unpredictably unlike most overdrives and the harmonics are stacked, just like a real amp breaking up. Incredible. Was this review helpful to you?

2SB175 Sunface July 19, 2023 Reviewer: Steve M. from USA   Excellent customer service. Mike and Amy are very helpful and informative with any questions I had. Awesome sounding fuzz! Warm, Smooth and creamy tones. Can get a variety of classic sounds including some great Clapton tones. The add-ons available are very useful in tweaking your sound. Highly recommend the Sunface for the highest quality fuzz builds around. Was this review helpful to you?

Sun Face Fuzz RCA germanium - low gain June 7, 2023 Reviewer: Daniel from Germany   Update: After a month of playing this pedal I'm blown away even more! I never considered myself too much as a fuzz guy as many fuzzes I tried altered the tone of my instruments or amps too much or got too muddy, dark and wooly. The Sunface with low gain RCA transistors is completely the opposite! No other pedal opens up my Plexi the way this one does, it cleans up so well when backing off the volume, stays bright and warm at the same time no matter if after a Les Paul with humbuggies or a Strat with single coils and it works wonderful in front my Princeton as well! Never expected that! Fuzz is not only about how things sound, it's even more about what it does to your guitar and amp, how it interacts with both and how things feel under your fingers while playing. This pedal simply feels and sounds unbelievable. The Sunface is not just a pedal, it is kind of an instrument on it's own. Never had something like that before! Awesome!

RCA low gain Sunface March 25, 2023 Reviewer: Dan from Sydney   I tried to write a novel of a review but a million characters isn't enough to sing my praises for this thing. Changed my musical life for the better. Regret not finding this earlier, maybe wasn't ready then. p.s. still sounds good on a hotter day in Australia. Was this review helpful to you?

Sunface RCA Low Gain February 24, 2023 Reviewer: Sean from Maple Ridge BC Canada   This RCA low gain Sunface cleans up beautifully. The fuzz tones are nuanced and refined. Dialing back the bias adds some hairyness. This version is not over the top but it's something I completely embrace. It absolutely responds to my attack and hilites all the dynamics of my playing. Really really special! Thanks analogman and thanks analog Amy for all the help and correspondence! Was this review helpful to you?
