Fairfield Circuitry Barbershop Overdrive | Secret Weapons Demo & Review

Look, you know me. You know we've been here before. Fairfield knows their way around a JFET based drive pedal and this is the origination of that. The Barbershop overdrive is a simple, well execute take on a voltage starve-able overdrive circuit that pulls you out of option paralysis and focuses instead on being able to quickly dial a shockingly wide array of phenomenal drive textures. You've got everything from boosted cleans with hair around the edges to dark, menacing lofi drives that never feel muddy. So let's dig in.
