The SolidGoldFX If 6 Was 9 BC183 MKII Fuzz pedal is a modern interpretation of the classic late 60's, early 70's Fuzz Face circuit with several updates and modifications. The pedal is based on the Dallas-Arbiter Fuzz Face circuit and uses two BC183 transistors, providing soulful fuzz tones between the mushy compression of Germanium and the brash sound of Silicon.
Key Features:
- Silicon Fuzz pedal
- Based on the Dallas-Arbiter Fuzz Face circuit
- Uses two BC183 transistors for soulful fuzz tones
- Variable voltage pump supplies power between 5 to 15VDC internally
- Thick balanced bass response and tight fuzz tone
- Tone toggle switch for choosing between tight and thick fuzz voicings
- Bias knob for varying the operational voltage, offering a huge range of
tones
- Saturation control trims the circuit’s input for better cleanup or
impedance matching
- Soft-touch True bypass switching and top-mounted jacks
- Hand-made in Montreal, Canada
- Powered by optional 9V DC PSU (center -, 2.1 mm, 20 mA current draw)
The pedal also features vintage spec carbon comp resistors to enhance the warmth of the core circuit. Additionally, it includes an external bias control and a 2-way tone toggle switch for further tonal versatility.
The If 6 Was 9 MKII pedal is equipped with a variable voltage pump, supplying power between 5 to 15VDC from a single 9V power source. This feature eliminates the need for multiple batteries and allows players to set the voltage to their preferred supply, delivering consistent fuzzy compression or breakup.
The pedal's saturate control trims the circuit’s input for better cleanup, signal chain integration, or impedance matching, making it ideal for use with a wah pedal. The soft-touch true bypass switching and top jacks bring this classic fuzz face into the modern age.
The dimensions of the pedal are approximately 4.77" x 2.6" x 1.39" (121.1 x 66 x 35.3mm), and it weighs around 250g. It is powered by an optional 9V DC power supply with a 2.1mm barrel plug and negative center, with a current draw of approximately 20mA.
