JHS Smiley Fuzz Face: 10 tips for Vox AC15

The AC15c1 and a great Fuzz Face is a fantastic combination. However, a lot of people run into certain situations where they get less than optimal results from this pairing. In this video, I'm giving you my Top 10 Tips for using a Fuzz Face style pedal with a Vox amplifier. In this case, I am using the JHS Legends Of Fuzz Smiley.
I'm a Stringjoy artist, and play their set of Broadways on all my Electric guitars.
I play the 10/13.5/17/28/38/50 on all my Gibson and Epiphone. I play the 9.5/13/16/26/36/48 on my Strat and Telecaster.

I can believe that this video doesn't have more views awesome video thank you so much I'm always trying to pushing my sound to non traditional ortodox ways this was so helpful for me

[@anup_pinkfloydian]

Great insights Jonathan. Thanks. 1 quick question. What about compressors before the Fuzz pedal? Are they needed? Can they help?

[@TheToneLounge]

A compressor might increase the noise floor. Plus, a fuzz is typically already pretty compressed, so the results may vary. It's still worth experimenting with. You never know.
