Solid Gold Fx - IF 6 WAS 9 - BC183 MKII FUZZ
If there's one pedal that captures the history of sonic rebellion and the soul of classic rock, then the Fuzz Face is it. Bold and raunchy when fed power chords, velvety smooth and angelically soaring when presented with lead lines and with an almost too-good-to-be-true volume knob cleanup, which allows for the best clean tones you've ever heard, the Fuzz Face is truly a multi-faceted tonal treasure. Jimi Hendrix, Eric Johnson, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Pete Townsend all carved their undying legacy with this iconic fuzz machine and with our If 6 Was 9 MKII, you can instantly tap into those legendary tones or go far beyond to discover your own saturated signature sound.

Main Features:
Silicon Fuzz pedal
Based on the Dallas-Arbiter Fuzz Face circuit
Uses two BC183 transistor – for soulful fuzz tones between mushy compression of Germanium and brash sound of Silicon
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
Saturation control trims the circuits input for better cleanup or impedance matching
Soft-touch True bypass switching and top-mounted jacks
Hand-made in Montreal, Canada
Powered by opt. 9V DC PSU (not included)
(centre -, 2,1 mm, 20 mA current draw)
KNOBS:
Volume: Allows you to boost or cut your volume level
Bias: This varies the voltage to Q2’s collector, giving you a huge range of tones from compressed and nasty to big and bold.
Fuzz: Sets the amount of distortion.
Volts 5-15V: This controls the overall power feeding the pedal. Turning counter-clockwise drops the voltage to 5V for more sag and compression while turning clockwise increases the internal voltage up to 15V for extra kick and headroom.
Saturate: This knob trims input gain. Turn it fully clockwise for classic fuzz face tones. Dial it back for impedance matching with wahs & other effects placed before it for better cleanup/less fuzz.
TOGGLE SWITCHES:
Body: This toggle switch delivers three different fuzz voicings. Chose from Fat (left), Treble Boost (center), or Classic (right).
AUXILIARY:
Input: Instrument or other pedal goes here.
Output: Amplifier or other pedal goes here.
True bypass footswitch: Turns the effect on and off.
POWER:
The If 6 Was 9 MKII requires center-negative 9V DC power supply with a 2.1mm barrel plug only. Current draw is 20mA.
Important: internal voltage pump - do not exceed 9VDC. Use of an improper power supply will void warranty.
DIMENSIONS:
4.77" x 2.6 x 1.39" (121.1 x 66 x 35.3mm)
