Siliface MKII - Ultimate "FuzzFace"

SILIFACE MKII doesn't attempt to recreate a single Fuzz Face. It explores the entire fabled history of the circuit.

SILIFACE MKII delivers everything from cutting vintage silicon aggression to warm, almost germanium-like sustain. Whether you're chasing searing vintage leads, dynamic volume-knob cleanup, glassy cleans or sputtering starved-battery textures, SILIFACE MKIIputs an enormous range of classic fuzz sounds under your feet.

While many Fuzz Face derivatives offer little more than Volume and Fuzz controls, SILIFACE MKII gives the player extensive control over gain structure, bias, input sensitivity and bass response, allowing the circuit to be tailored to virtually any guitar, amplifier or pedalboard setup.

At the heart of SILIFACE MKII is a carefully selected low-gain silicon transistor pairing chosen for its unusually broad tonal range. The result is a silicon fuzz capable of covering both the aggressive bite associated with classic BC108 designs and the smoother, softer characteristics often associated with germanium variants.

Unlike many silicon fuzzes, SILIFACE MKII was voiced to retain the dynamic cleanup and musical response often associated with great germanium designs while preserving the stability, output and articulation that made silicon models famous.

Perfect for:

• Players who love Fuzz Faces but want more control and volume on tap.
• Guitarists who use their volume knob as part of their playing style.
• Fans of both silicon and germanium fuzz tones.
• Players looking for gated and starved fuzz textures.
• Anyone wanting a highly adaptable fuzz that works with a wide range of guitars and amplifiers.

Features: 

Vintage/Modern Mode switch

Two distinct operating modes alter the pedal's headroom, output level and overall feel. Vintage mode captures the raw attack and cutting character of classic silicon fuzzes, while Modern mode delivers increased output, more low-end authority and a smoother response

Bias control

From smooth sustain to gated sputter and dying-battery chaos, the expanded Bias control allows the player to explore the full spectrum of transistor behaviour without opening the enclosure or making modifications.

Body control

Adjusts the low-frequency contour of the fuzz, ranging from tight and focused to thick, woolly and massively oversized. Dial in the exact amount of low-end weight your guitar, amp and speakers can handle.

Input control 

Acts like an adjustable pre-set version of your guitar's volume control, allowing you to clean up the fuzz response without constantly reaching for your instrument.

General

• Soft touch, intelligent microcontroller controlled relay true bypass with bypass memory and momentary modes
• Beautiful Stone Grey textured powder-coated enclosure, standard 9V DC power and top-mounted jacks in a compact, pedalboard-friendly footprint.
• Soldered, wired and assembled completely by hand in Manchester, UK. 

Note: Siliface is made in small batches. Once stock is exhausted, orders will switch to "pre-order" with a lead time of approximately 4 weeks.
