Solidgoldfx If 6 Was 9 BC183 MKII Fuzz

SOLIDGOLDFX If 6 Was 9 BC183 MKII Fuzz is a Silicon Fuzz pedal based on the Dallas-Arbiter Fuzz Face circuit.
It uses two BC183 transistor for soulful fuzz tones between mushy compression of Germanium and brash sound of Silicon.
A variable voltage pump supplies power between 5 to 15VDC internally
Thick balanced bass response and tight fuzz tone
Tone toggle switch chooses between tight and thick fuzz voicings
Bias knob for varying the operational voltage – for a huge range of tones from compressed and nasty to big and bold.

What really sets the new If 6 Was 9 MKII apart is the power supply. Fuzz Face tone has been whittled down to such a precise science that players now know what voltage at which they prefer their Fuzz Face to be run. Eric Johnson famously kept a box full of batteries drained to various degrees. We have equipped this fuzz with a variable voltage pump, supplying anywhere from 5 to 15VDC from a single 9V power source. No need for a box full of questionable batteries anymore, just set the knob to your preferred supply voltage and get as much fuzzy compression or meaty breakup you desire consistently, every time.

This, in conjunction with the bias control, will allow for any shade of fuzz ranging from gated and sputtery, to smooth and dynamic, then all the way to bold and punchy. The new saturate control trims the circuit’s input for better cleanup, signal chain integration or impedance matching, ideal for use with a wah pedal. Finally, soft-touch true bypass switching and top jacks really bring this fuzz face into the 21st century.
