Fairfield Circuitry The Barbershop

Fairfield Barbershop Overdrive V2

Represent the new millenia with this brand new take on Fairfield Circuitry’s coveted Barbershop

Have you ever sat in a barber’s chair wishing your tone was as slick as your freshly shaved upper lip? With the Barbershop Overdrive on your pedalboard, you could keep your moustache and sound good doing it.

The Barbershop is an original design, not a clone.

Raw, gritty, warm, smooth, open and transparent are all terms that have been used to describe this overdrive. It sounds great with any setup, but truly shines when used to dirty up a tube amp.

Controls

Drive

Sets the interstage gain of the amplifiers. More gain means more distortion. The wide operating range al- lows you to go from an almost clean gain to a tasty rich overdrive.

Sag

The Sag control reduces the voltage to the amplifiers as you turn it counter clockwise, giving additional control over the character and feel of the saturation. The lower the Sag, the browner the sound. Full voltage is applied when the control is set fully clockwise. It is at this setting that the pedal has the potential to be its cleanest and loudest.

Tone

Volume

Controls the output volume of the pedal while keeping the effect unchanged. This is where you have plenty of room to boost.

Power

The Barbershop Overdrive can be powered by either a 9V battery or a typical 9V AC/DC adapter (9VDC, center negative).
Like most pedals, the input is switched in order to turn the pedal ON when a 1/4” jack is in place. If using a battery, to avoid draining it unnecessarily, always unplug the IN jack when not in use.
