Solid Gold FX If 6 Was 9

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.

It’s been at least 10 years since we launched our original If 6 Was 9 BC183 and improving on this solid design was no small feat. SGFX’s 
pedal pays tribute to all the players who contributed to the pantheon of rock, with specially selected components to get your mojo working. 
We put two BC183 devices in each one, which is widely regarded as a happy medium between the potentially mushy compression of 
germanium and the brash sawmill-like fuzz of silicon. The tone of the If 6 Was 9 MKII is just that - smooth and refined, without falling 
apart on chords and with loads of sustain on single-note work. The MKII includes all the soulful fuzz tones of the original BC183, but 
incorporates a variety of new features aimed at bringing this vintage inspired design into the modern age.
