About This Product
Fairfax isn’t really a distortion pedal. Instead, it’s a complete miniature amplifier in 100% analog form, based upon a little-known device from the 60’s that powered a number of classic rock anthems.
The sound and feel is extremely tube-like, with added harmonics and saturation coming from a clever circuit that emulates the critical behavior of a tube amp’s output transformer. It’s a drive pedal that feels completely natural to play, retains the natural sound of your guitar, and glues notes together in a truly organic way.
Features:
- Complete tube amp circuit fully recreated in 100% analog.
- Custom analog circuits recreate multiple tube stages and the critical output transformer.
- Input voltage converted to 40V internally via galvanically isolated power supply.
- Controls for Drive, Level and a variable Sag control.
- Bright switch allows fine-tuning of the high frequency response.
- Wide range of natural sounding and tube amp-like gain for maximum versatility.
- Sag circuit allows mild Sag effects at lower settings and spitting and gated sounds at max.
