A Modern Tribute to a Fuzz Legend
Born in the shadow of the Dallas-Arbiter Fuzz Face, the If 6 Was 9 MKII carries on the sonic aesthetic that defined rock in the '60s and '70s. An evolution of the BC183 model launched over ten years ago, this MKII preserves the vintage soul while adding contemporary tools for exemplary reliability and consistency on stage and in the studio.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
Ideal for lovers of blues-rock, psychedelic, indie, stoner, or classic rock, it suits everyone from curious guitarists to demanding professionals. Its high touch sensitivity and ability to clean up with the guitar's volume knob make it a formidable companion on a pedalboard, in front of a tube amp, both live and in recording.
Controls and Innovations Serving Your Playing
The MKII features an internal voltage booster controlled by the Volts 5-15V knob to choose between smooth compression or a firmer, more open attack. The Bias adjusts the core of the circuit for textures ranging from gated to singing sustain. Saturate adjusts input gain and impedance for better "cleanup" and perfect compatibility with a wah. The Body selector offers three complementary voicings, while Fuzz and Volume finalize the saturation amount and output level.
The Sound
Expect thick but controlled bass, present mids that cut through the mix, and silky highs without harshness. The pedal responds beautifully to playing nuances and guitar volume, shifting from gritty cleans to a wide, singing roar. In the spirit of tones popularized by icons like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Johnson, or Stevie Ray Vaughan, it offers a spectrum from velvety fuzz to tight bite, always musical and inspiring.
