I've just found this pdf file with Fuzz Face parts available from Dunlop.

Looks like Dunlop sells FF enclosures for $63. Unfortunately, from what I can read they're are only available in bulk. Maybe someone (e.g. Small Bear) will be interested in ordering a batch and then reselling them as I think lots of people were asking about those boxes...

I'd be expecting to have the "Fuzz" inside the "Face" for that kind of money !!
( I wouldn't ever buy a FF anyway )

I dont see Steve going for that one myself !

Especially considering cheap you can get them on eBay

Well, not often you can get them much cheaper than the Dunlop offer as lots of people are bidding :)
I don't tell that Dunlop's offer it the best one - I just wanted to show that they just sell them as a spare part :D

Dunlop has offered replacement parts for ages from cases, jacks, knobs, feet, etc. Sometimes even boards including older versions. Any Dunlop dealer should be able to order parts for you.

As for the high cost Dunlop has to make a profit somewhere in the deal.

Well... good to know but I emailed Dunlop many times (no responce) and my local dealer couldn't order it but maybe I wasn't pushy enough :) I think I'll watch eBay carefully and try to find a broken unit :)

Trademarked spares like that are meant to be available for restoration of irreparably damaged gear. In this case, since you clearly want to use the shell to do a clone, a Dunlop dealer would be endangering his relationship with the company if he were to honor your request to order it. Finding a shell on E-Bay and stuffing it with your own circuit, on the other hand, is entirely reasonable.

Speaking of Big Muffs try the Yun mods to a stock Big Muff.  With the tone control you get thin to fat and in btwn fuzz.
