Fairfield Circuitry ~900 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.

The four highly interactive controls are:

INPUT - input gain
FUZZ - second stage gain
BIAS - second stage bias and gain
VOLUME - output level

And when all 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.

INPUT

The INPUT section is a 'mu-amp' design. The INPUT knob controls the level going into this first gain stage - you can go from clean with lots of headroom, to completely slammed and distorted - and everything in between.

FUZZ

The FUZZ knob controls the level going into the second JFET gain stage. This section is very dependent on the level of the INPUT.

BIAS

The BIAS knob adjusts the bias of the second gain stage. This gives control over the saturation symmetry, and can also allow gating when turned up high enough. The BIAS knob is especially interactive with the FUZZ knob.

VOLUME

The VOLUME controls the master volume output. This pedal has a lot of gain to offer and can get quite loud.
