The GUP Tech BFF Douche Edition is a dual bass fuzz pedal, described by its maker as "a nice Swiss knife to any bassist board." It is a limited edition version of the BFF Bass Fire Fuzz, launched in May 2024 with the same boosting, fuzzy circuit in a new sparkle enclosure. GUP Tech says the pedal is "Great for Bass (yah!) or guitar," so it works on either instrument. As of 26 October 2026 it is listed as sold out.1
The controls
The BFF keeps its control set simple, with two knobs doing the work1:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Dual | Selects between two distinct fuzz tones. GUP Tech describes the range as "From tight gain to saw-tooth, there's a lot of fuzz here."1 |
| Blend | Blends as much or as little of your clean signal back in with the fuzz.1 |
The Dual knob is the heart of the pedal: rather than one fuzz voice, it gives you two, from a tighter gain sound to a saw-tooth style fuzz. The Blend knob is the usual clean-blend arrangement bass players look for in a fuzz, letting the low end and definition of your clean signal sit under the fuzzed tone at any mix level.1
Power
The BFF runs on a 9V DC supply with a center negative plug, and the maker specifies center negative only. Power consumption is 60mA.1
The pedal takes 9V DC center negative only. At 60mA, make sure your power supply can supply the current, especially if you share it with other pedals on a daisy chain.
Availability and where it is made
The Douche Edition arrived in May 2024, announced by GUP Tech as "New douche edition! Same boosting fuzzy power, in a sparkle enclosure!" The standard BFF remains the non-limited version of the circuit. The pedal is currently sold out.1
GUP Tech builds all of its pedals in Saguenay, Québec, Canada, at 6182 Boulevard Talbot, Saguenay, QC G7N 1W1.1
Questions
Can the GUP Tech BFF be used with guitar as well as bass?
Yes. GUP Tech describes the BFF as great for bass or guitar, so guitarists can use it too. The pedal is marketed as a dual bass fuzz and pitched at bassist boards, but the maker does not limit it to bass, and the clean blend knob lets players mix as much or as little of their clean signal as they want.
What power supply does the GUP Tech BFF need?
The BFF needs a 9V DC supply with a center negative plug, and the maker specifies center negative only. It draws 60mA, so a standard isolated pedal supply should handle it, but it is worth checking that your supply has enough current headroom if you are daisy chaining pedals.
Is the BFF Douche Edition still available?
No. The Douche Edition is listed as sold out on GUP Tech's product page. It was a limited edition version of the BFF, launched in May 2024 with the same circuit as the standard pedal in a new sparkle enclosure.
Where is GUP Tech based?
GUP Tech is based in Saguenay, Québec, Canada, at 6182 Boulevard Talbot, Saguenay, QC G7N 1W1. The company says all of its pedals are made by hand in Saguenay.
What does the Dual knob do on the BFF?
The Dual knob switches between two distinct fuzz tones. GUP Tech describes the range as going from tight gain to saw-tooth, giving the pedal two separate fuzz characters in one enclosure.
