Fairfield Circuitry ~900: Ferocious Four Knob Fuzz
And when things are combined, is anything lost? And when something is lost, will there ever be more? But what is the gain? The ~900 is a ferocious fuzz pedal featuring two cascading JFET gain stages. Tracing its lineage back to our discontinued Four Eyes Fuzz, it offers a very wide range of gain, adds delicious harmonics and, if given the opportunity, will slap the ice cream cone right out of your hand.
Powerful Fuzz with Interactive Controls
The ~900 features four highly interactive controls that allow you to sculpt your sound with precision:
INPUT: Controls the input gain, setting the foundation for your fuzz tone.
FUZZ: Adjusts the second stage gain, adding layers of distortion and harmonic complexity.
BIAS: Modifies the second stage bias and gain, influencing the character and texture of the fuzz.
VOLUME: Sets the overall output level, ensuring your signal cuts through the mix.
These controls work together to provide a versatile range of fuzz tones, from subtle and smooth to wild and aggressive.
