I've recently started using a Fuzz Face Mini 2 (the germanium one), and encountered an odd phenomenon at a recent gig. I'm fairly new to Fuzz Faces, but I know they can be temperamental, particularly germanium ones.
The FF is first in chain after a Polytune 2 set to true bypass. Everything was normal and quiet when the fuzz was engaged and the tuner was in bypass, however when I engaged the tuner to mute my rig and to tune, with the fuzz still on I got lots of unwanted noise.
I'm guessing that some sort of signal from the tuner was being amplified by the Fuzz Face, however I don't remember it happening at the next night's gig.
It's a pain because I now sometimes need to turn off the Fuzz Face when I want to mute my rig or tune up. I love the FFM2 and wouldn't want to replace it. Is this just something I have to live with?

Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
