SolidGoldFX If 6 Was 9 First Impressions Dialing It In

I just picked up this gently used SolidGoldFX 'If 6 Was 9' fuzz pedal because I've been after something with the BC183 transistors. Why? I was on a big Cream kick a few weeks ago and read that this is the silicon transistor Eric had in his Fuzz Face. It's also Eric Johnson's preferred transistor and what was used in his signature pedal. I bought this one and had Analogman build me a Sun Face with a BC183 ( • Analogman - Sun Face BC183 [First Imp... ). • Anyway, this pedal sounds amazing, just like the other SolidGoldFX stuff I have. This video is just me trying to dial it in to a tone that I like and I figured I'd record it to give you an idea of the controls. • In their words: 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 transistors 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. • What really sets the new If 6 Was 9 MKII apart is the power supply. Fuzz Face tone has been whittled down to such a precise science that players now know what voltage at which they prefer their Fuzz Face to be run. Eric Johnson famously kept a box full of batteries drained to various degrees. We have equipped this fuzz with a variable voltage pump, supplying anywhere from 5 to 15VDC from a single 9V power source. No need for a box full of questionable batteries anymore, just set the knob to your preferred supply voltage and get as much fuzzy compression or meaty breakup you desire consistently, every time. • This is merely a first impressions video - more to follow. • This demo was made with a 1997 Fender Voodoo Strat loaded with Seymour Duncan Texas Hot Antiquities, 9-46 Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky's plugged into Marshall DSL15C. Nothing special mic wise, just an iPhone 12 Pro on a tripod. • Please comment, like and subscribe if you enjoyed the video!
