From the source:
The If 6 Was 9 is a modern interpretation of the classic late
60’s, early 70’s, Fuzz Face circuit with a few updates and
modifications. At the heart of the If 6 Was 9 is a pair of hand
selected, new old stock BC183 transistors. These transistors offer a
great balance of soul and attitude producing a unique fuzz character
that is rich and smooth with excellent sustain and exceptional volume
clean up. Vintage spec carbon comp resistors further enhance the warmth
of the core circuit while the addition of an external bias control and
the 2-way tone switch provide maximum versatility and allow for quick
adjustment of the overall fuzz texture. Although the If 6 Was 9 has a
distinctly vintage flavour it is capable of generating an extremely wide
range of useful fuzz sounds, from full bodied and round to more gated
and splatty. If soulful fuzz is your thing, the If 6 Was 9 BC183CC will
be a fantastic sounding and gorgeous addition to your arsenal.
