Fairfield Circuitry · pedal
The Fairfield Circuitry 900 About Nine Hundred is a JFET-based fuzz pedal from the Canadian boutique builder Fairfield, tracing its lineage to the discontinued Four Eyes Fuzz. Two cascading JFET gain stages provide a very wide gain range from gritty, warm saturation to full fuzz with controlled harmonic density. Controls include Input, Fuzz, Bias, and Volume, with the Bias control introducing gated and sputtering textures by adjusting the second stage operating point. It suits blues, psych, indie, and experimental rock contexts.
