MXR M296 Classic 108 Fuzz Mini – Vintage Silicon Fuzz in a Compact Housing
All the Vintage Fuzz. A Fraction of the Footprint.
Now in an MXR mini housing, the Classic 108 Fuzz gives you all the same vintage fuzz tones in a much smaller footprint. Like its larger predecessor, it's loaded with the silicon BC-108 transistor for a round and dirty crunch that defined countless classic recordings. This Classic 108 Fuzz also has the same no-nonsense control interface—just crank the Volume and Fuzz controls to your liking and start riffing.
Authentic Vintage Fuzz Tone
At the heart of the Classic 108 Fuzz Mini is the legendary silicon BC-108 transistor, delivering the round, dirty crunch that made the original a favorite among fuzz enthusiasts. This transistor provides a rich, harmonically complex fuzz tone with excellent sustain and touch-sensitive response. Whether you're chasing the tones of Jimi Hendrix, David Gilmour, or modern fuzz aficionados, this pedal delivers authentic vintage character in spades.
Simple, No-Nonsense Controls
The Classic 108 Fuzz Mini features the same straightforward control interface as its larger predecessor:
-
Volume Control: Sets your overall output level
-
Fuzz Control: Adjusts the amount of fuzz and saturation, from light breakup to full-on raging fuzz
With just these two controls, you can dial in everything from subtle, gritty textures to massive, wall-of-sound fuzz tones. No menus, no complexity—just pure, immediate fuzz.
Buffer Switch for Wah Compatibility
Use the Buffer switch on the side to make the fuzz play nice with wah pedals. This thoughtful feature addresses the classic issue of impedance mismatch between fuzz pedals and wahs, ensuring that your wah sounds its best whether the fuzz is engaged or not. Simply flip the switch to engage the buffer and enjoy seamless integration with your pedalboard.
Compact MXR Mini Housing
Housed in MXR's legendary mini enclosure, the Classic 108 Fuzz Mini fits easily on any pedalboard without sacrificing precious space. The durable construction and high-quality components are built to withstand the rigors of touring and years of regular use. Despite its small size, this pedal delivers big, vintage fuzz tones that rival its full-sized counterpart.
