In this episode the KingTone Guitar MiniFuzz V2 takes center stage — featuring the Frank Brothers Arcade Thinline with Lollar The Bird Humbuckers, into the Benson Amps Monarch and Benson 2x12" via the Boss Waza Tube Amp Expander. The KingTone Vibe 1968 joins for the second half.
The V2 is the convergence of both previous MiniFuzz models into one pedal. The V1 required choosing between silicon or germanium at the time of purchase — the V2 puts both on the front panel via a Type toggle switch. BC183 silicon transistors (matched with the MP10b — KingTone's preferred silicon pairing, tonally identical to their germanium version but temperature-tolerant for hot stages) and hand-selected germanium transistors, switchable mid-performance.
Three-way mode toggle: Fat (full frequency range to the fuzz — classic, warm, low-end rich character), Vintage (simulates aged capacitor degradation — more mid-focused, cutting, closer to a Fuzz Face character), Zonk (mid-range focused gritty tone, especially effective at low bias settings for gated, aggressive textures). Six side-panel dipswitches expand the palette further in a Chase Bliss-style layout: Buffer On/Off (for long cable runs and complex rigs without tone loss), Tone 1 and Tone 2 (four combinations of smoother/silkier tone voicing vs. bright and gritty), Fatness/Classic (extended low-end lift), Vintage/Boost (output level boost to slam amp inputs harder). All accessible without opening the pedal.
The Bias knob is the most player-practical feature. Germanium transistors change character with temperature — what sounds great in a warm studio can behave differently on a cold stage. The MiniFuzz V2's LED indicator shows when the bias is set correctly for the current ambient temperature, eliminating the need to open the pedal and measure internal voltages before every show. Under-biasing gives gated, spitty, starved textures. Over-biasing gives smooth, thick, violin-sustain fuzz. The LED is the reference point between them.
Hand-wired. Battery simulator for DC power supplies. True bypass. 9V center negative.
