A Dual JFET Texture Machine! Fairfield Circuitry ~900 Fuzz | Secret Weapons Demo & Review

I am a longstander sucker for a good JFET drive. From the SmallsoundBigsound Mini to the left channel on the Chase Bliss Brothers I have always been drawn to the hair and texture of a JFET gain stage. Enter the Fairfield Circuitry ~900; a gritty and versatile fuzz pedal sporting not one, but TWO JFET gain stages. I was intrigued from the jump. This fuzz did not disappoint on those high expectations. Boating a shockingly wide array of tones from clean to overdriven to completely destroyed, the ~900 is as versatile as it textural. So lets dig in and see just how responsive and massive this fuzz gets.
