The Missing Link Audio Peace Fuzzz is a fuzz pedal from Missing Link Audio, described by Guitar Pedal X as a Fuzz Face style fuzz that uses two voices of germanium diode clipping1. Missing Link Audio positions it as a way into fuzz for players who normally play overdrive: RockBoard's PedalPedia says the Peace Fuzzz "was built for guitarists who love the feel of a good overdrive but want to explore fuzz"2. It was released in August 2025, listed at $179.99 on the Missing Link Audio webstore as of that date1.
What it does to your sound
RockBoard's PedalPedia describes the Peace Fuzzz as a pedal that "blends the warm saturation and rich sustain of vintage fuzz with the clarity, punch, and dynamics of a great drive pedal"2. That framing is the point of the design: it is a fuzz that behaves more like a drive pedal under the fingers, rather than the all-or-nothing character many players associate with fuzz pedals.
Guitar Pedal X's Stefan Karlsson, writing at the pedal's release, described its character this way:
"The output of this pedal sounds really classy - those Germanium Diodes can be extraordinarily good at delivery engaging..."1
Karlsson's overall verdict was that the Peace Fuzz's textures are "particularly silky"1.
Controls
Guitar Pedal X lists the control set as follows1:
| Control | Function |
|---|---|
| Level | Output volume |
| Attack | Fuzz intensity |
| Voice | Vintage Voice 1 / Modern Voice 2 |
| Tone 1 | Tone for Voice 1 |
The two-voice arrangement is the pedal's distinguishing feature. Instead of one fixed clipping sound, the player chooses between a Vintage Voice 1 and a Modern Voice 2, both built on germanium diodes, with a dedicated tone control for Voice 11. Karlsson notes the Modern Voice 2 presumably brings more mids1.
Where it sits among fuzzes
The Fuzz Face style label places the Peace Fuzz in the lineage of the classic two-stage fuzz design, but the germanium diode clipping and voice options take it somewhere different from a straight Fuzz Face style circuit1. For comparison within the same family of names, the Mid-Fi Electronics Peace Gun Fuzz is a different circuit altogether: an intermodulating fuzz with a sweepable resonant filter, which builders on the Tagboard Effects forum described as a low gain fuzz with a high frequency peak that cuts some low end3. The Peace Fuzz's stated aim is closer to a drive-like fuzz than either of those approaches2.
Missing Link Audio has continued building in this territory, releasing the Zepptone.
The pedal appears under two closely related names: RockBoard's PedalPedia lists it as the "Peace Fuzzz"2, while Guitar Pedal X's release coverage calls it the "Peace Fuzz"1. They refer to the same pedal.

Questions
Is the Missing Link Audio Peace Fuzz a Fuzz Face clone?
Guitar Pedal X describes the Peace Fuzz as a Fuzz Face style fuzz, meaning it follows the layout and playing feel of the classic two-transistor fuzz design rather than being marketed as a direct copy. What sets it apart is its use of two voices of germanium diode clipping, which the maker and press present as giving it a smoother, more drive-like character than a typical Fuzz Face style circuit.
What does 2-voice germanium diodes mean on the Peace Fuzz?
The Peace Fuzz uses germanium diodes for its clipping, the part of the circuit that shapes the distortion, and it offers two voices built on them. Guitar Pedal X lists a Vintage Voice 1 and a Modern Voice 2, with a tone control for Voice 1, so a player can switch between two different flavors of germanium clipping rather than a single fixed sound.
What controls does the Peace Fuzz have?
According to Guitar Pedal X, the Peace Fuzz has a Level control for output volume, an Attack control that sets fuzz intensity, a Vintage Voice 1 and Modern Voice 2 selection, and a Tone control for Voice 1. That is a compact control set compared with multi-knob fuzzes, built around picking a voice and dialling in intensity and level.
Is the Peace Fuzz meant for players who prefer overdrive?
Yes. Missing Link Audio says the Peace Fuzzz was built for guitarists who love the feel of a good overdrive but want to explore fuzz without diving into the deeper end of fuzz pedals. The maker describes it as blending the warm saturation and rich sustain of vintage fuzz with the clarity, punch and dynamics of a great drive pedal.
