SONIC FIELDS

Silly Face Fuzz

The Sonic Fields Silly Face is a point to point wired silicon transistor based fuzz. We use carefully matched low gain transistors to recreate that classic fuzz tone.

The circuit is based on the classic Fuzz Face circuit, but with some changes to make it somewhat more versatile and a little less bassy.

First of all we tweaked the fuzz control to make it much more useful over the whole range, going from mild to wild fuzz.

We also added a ‘Bias’ control for the second transistor, which gives you the opportunity to go from an open sounding fuzz to a somewhat more gated fuzz. Depending on how the Bias is set you can get a nice overdrive or an even more gated sound when you roll back your guitar’s volume control.

The idea behind the faces is to create unique pedals, just like we all have our very own silly face. No pedal will be the same. Just pick the one that matches your personality!

Angry Face BC108 Fuzz

The Sonic Fields Angry Face is a BC108 transistor based fuzz face type pedal. It’s a somewhat brighter, more agressive fuzz than our Silly Face, although it can be tamed a little by using the tone control and the guitar’s volume knob.

The point to point wired circuit is based on the classic Fuzz Face, with an added tone control and a little different approach for the fuzz control to make it much more useful over the whole range.

Specs:

- Point to point wiring

- Matched set of BC108 transisors

- Fuzz, Tone and Volume controls

- Unique design for every pedal

Silly Germaine Hybrid Fuzz

The Sonic Fields Silly Germaine is a cross-over between a Germanium and a Silicon based Fuzz Face.

There's an ultra-lowgain silicon transistor in Q1 for stability and a carefully tested low-leakage germanium in Q2 to get that creamy 60's fuzz character.

Germanium transistors can be very sensitive to temperature swings. There's ‘Bias’ control to adress this problem. As a bonus this control gives you a wider range of fuzz tones, from an open creamy to a gated fuzz.

The fuzz control is tweaked to make it much more useful than in the original.

Specs:

- Point to point wiring

- Matched set of carefully selected transisors

- Fuzz, Bias and Volume controls

- Unique design for every pedal
