Inspired by the huge gain range of the discontinued Four Eyes Fuzz, the ~900 (about Nine Hundred) fuzz gives players a huge range to play with by cascading two JFET gain stages. The key to this pedal’s versatility is the level of control it gives between these stages. The input level controls the first gain stage and is a great place to start when matching the pedal to various pickups. Then it’s on to the Fuzz which controls how much signal is fed into the second gain stage. And with that second stage comes a powerful Gain/Bias adjustment which is very interactive with the Fuzz knob. Low bias settings produce a very uncompressed overdrive/distortion while higher settings change the saturation and begin to starve or gate the signal. Of course, the interactivity between the bias, fuzz, and input are all part of the fun and can produce a bevy of sound from classic to experimental walls of noise, especially with the input cranked. The output level puts the final touch on the tone and saturation since it can easily push any amp into overdrive. The Fairfield ~900 Fuzz, like all Fairfield circuits is an original design, handmade with high quality components in Quebec. Check out Fairfieldcircuitry.com for more info.

Fairfield Circuitry is taking over my pedalboard, love their work.
Yeah, this has "the sound". All those late 60's-early 70's ones. It's like that Tele was made for that pedal. Excellent demo, Andy.
Isn’t that the J mas tele ?? It was a phenomenal demo. So good I could cruise it on the beach for driving tunes.
Love the longer-ish intro tunes .we like it. Fairfield is doing it right .
How did I miss this earlier!? Andy is a master and Fairfield is a great company!
These are the most entertaining demos on UA-cam.
Usually, I find FFC designs more conceptually interesting than particularly inspiring, but the ~900 is a pedal that I freely recommend to those burnt out on common circuits.A simple interface, with a broad range, well suited for live, vs. studio pedal boards. It's a keeper, where even if it's not on your current roster, you will want to come back to it someday; this and the Accountant comp are their two classics, - however much attention other offerings may receive.
Great stuff. Nice thick buzz…and with the eq, wow
That bass was so ample. Fairfield is the shit! I F'in love those guys.
So excellent, as always-both FC and Andy.
P. S. If/when the official Andy Martin Tone Sneakers are launched, for precision hands-free knob-tweaking, I’m all in.
Andy and Tom Bukovec. That would be a dope jam session.
A very warm sound! ✨🔥✨
Hello, Andy. I enjoy your demos. Thank you. That's it.
Thanks so much! 👊
Whoa... sounding Epic on that Intro Andy!!! Stay Groovy Bruddah!!!!!
Thank you!!
Great fuzz, FC is one of my fave makers for excellent sounding no nonsense pedals that are all about the tone, even when they go for something a little unconventional.
This being boosted by the Barbershop is a GREAT sound. Y’all should try it !!
Fairfield is producing some seriously fair pedals (:
Came for the demo. Stayed for the tunes.
‘Bout Nine Hunnert! Savage intro, man. That Mascis Tele…
Thanks!! Yeah the zing of those pickups really works great with fuzz💥
Bless Guillaume for continuing to use thru-hole components, for the most part. That's getting rarer and rarer these days. Given the phenomenally wide range of sounds and "characters" it can get, I can see this kicking a bunch of pedals off the board. I won't swear to it, given that I'm listening through cheap speakers on my monitor, but it does seem capable of nailing some germanium-like tones and squish. Nicely done!
Hey Mark! Yeah it's got a little like a Ge squish but has that JFET crispness if you know what I mean.
How do smd sound different than through hole?
@@denniskrigger it's not so much about the sound as the ease of repair if anything needs to be replaced. Even I can replace through-hole components if they every fail, but tiny surface-mount parts are very difficult for most people to work on.
@@sounds_Angly oh, that's true. Mods are much more easy on through hole too
@@sounds_Angly oh come on. When in the world have you had a resistor go bad in a pedal? Even the caps are all so low voltage that they don't fail. That's a silly argument for wanting something that's just an increase in labor costs.
That bass is killer.
My best fuzz so far. Many gain stages, many options.
Really enjoyed the bass tone on that one!! Great job as always
Fuzz that's falling off the bone. Fantastic! Nice Canadians make mean pedals.
Jesus, Andy is great! Seriously, I can picture hearing this at The Fillmore circa 1969.
A few years ago, Guillaume Fairfield introduced me to the friend of his that does the legending, all by hand, using metal punches (that's why the letters don't line up perfectly). I would imagine his wrist hurts at the end of a work day. It's an interesting and distinctive look and "brand". Probably helps with resale value, because those pedals would look exactly the same after a world tour and rough treatment as they do in the glass showcase. The legending doesn't wear off, either. But I'm curious: How many sets of metal punches has the guy gone through since Fairfield started in business?
That sounds great! I wasn’t in the market for a fuzz but I might be now. Great demo as always, Andy!
take a look at the amp...its the amp
@@johniresearchist7263 Killer sounding amp as well.
Dude i love the blueberry silver tele
When the Long Life comes in at 01:04 🤯🔥
Thank you 😊
TIL that @AndyDemos has Long Life #0000 🤯
👍👍👍👍👍 for thegood pedal and andy
Your playing was so tight dude, seriously so cool.
Some of my all time favorite *WEEZER* songs will definitely sound a lot better with that Fuzz.
I just acquired a Roadstar bass yesterday and I'm loving it! Nice to see it being used here
Roadstars and Blazers (this one) are some of my favorite basses ever, period. Enjoy!
If you already have a barbershop and an unpleasant surprise, would this offer up any sounds that those two couldn’t achieve alone or combined?
Made I Quebec! I hear there's good fishin' in Quebec! 🎣
Good sounding fuzz, but that Tele sounds killer!
Is that the J Maaic's pedal? Lovin' that tone! 🤙
that's a nice sounding fuzz
Torns peaker.
I'm going to end up buying everything from this brand, I know it. Have the Four Eyes already, guess it's going to have a younger brother soon...
OMG! And '81 Ibanez Blazer Bass!!!!!!!!!!
Winner winer chicken dinner! Wow
I truly, TRULY thought I was done buying fuzz pedals... I was wrong.
Did I just find the perfect fuzz for me?
Ive watched Andy's videos where he discusses picking with his thumb. But I still can't figure out if it's callous, or part of the nail. Because he hits very specific strings and the attack is very crisp. If I were plucking a string with the edge of my thumb it would sound more muted and dead...not as much attack.
It's constantly varying between nail and thumb. If I want to accentuate, I will use the nail otherwise strumming is more comfortable with thumb flesh!!
@@AndyDemos well I have to hand it to you...while many of our hero's have played without.a pick, you certainly have the most pick-like sound. Thanks for responding personally. It's even more impressive hearing that you alternate.
Looks like I might have to trade in my Unpleasant Surprise...
Is there a video where Andy describes his right hand technique?
There sure is:
ua-cam.com/video/sf24m4xF-Ro/v-deo.html
I need more F UZZ in my sound.
I’m guessing that the topology isn’t all that different from a Big Muff, but the controls are awesome. Plus it seems to clean up with pick attack/guitar volume at least some of the time.
A nod to the 900lb. violin, I’m assuming?
Glad it’s not about 900 $ whew
About 900? No. Its power is way above 900.
About 900 replicates the sound of an If 6 was 9 fuzz into a Divided by 13 amp.
dang it. it's not bad is it? agh. LOL
damn, andy fuckin rips man...
