FUZZ- SOLIDGOLD FX If 6 Was 9 MkII ___ NEW ___ the best is better !!!!

$200.00 USD
SOLID GOLD FX 
IF 6 WAS 9 MkII FUZZ 

Simply the very best Fuzz Face for the player. It sounds like you expect in your head from those old records. It is not a cork sniffers Fuzz but sounds as good as the best original FF example you would ever hear. Which means it sounds better than the average old FF example you will ever hear. It of course has the famous BC183 transistor. It was basis for both the 69-70's Fuzz Face and the Octavio. 
This pedal nails the Fuzz Face but lets you take it into the Octavio sound minus 
the Octavio's boost switch that was only used for the really crazy stuff. 
The layout gives you the basic Fuzz/gain and Volume as the original but you also have Saturation to control the sustain. A BIAS to head into Octavio territory. Voltage gives you a failing old school battery effect or silly levels of headroom. A toggle gives you a fat mid boost, treble boost or classic.
CONCLUSION
You can dial in anything but a little goes a long way. More tweaking than 
I like but the results are beyond killer. The price is reasonable because 
even the Dunlop Fuzz Face mini is now $170.00 USD.

the fine print
This is a germanium FF so it sounds killer. Oddly mine does not go weird on me but it oddly likes to warm up. If I turn it on it needs about 5 or 10 minutes to settle down. But once rockin, it stays rockin.
