Silicon fuzz based on the Fuzz Face circuit with added bias control.

The controls:

- Level: the output level

- Attack: the amount of fuzz

- Bias: bias control for the transistors. Ideal bias is around 9-10 o'clock. Fully clockwise produces a "gating" effect, fully anti-clockwise produces a more open sound.

- Internal input level trimmer (only on PCB version): by default almost at full. Anti-clockwise the input level is reduced like rolling back the guitar volume on the guitar itself. If the pedal is too "woofy" then reduce the level. Default setting filters out unwanted radio signal interference. If this is not an issue, level may be increased to maximum.

Matched Silicon BC108B transistors.

This model by default features a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) construction. 

Aluminum 125B size die-cast box. True bypass. Operates on center negative 9V power supply or 9V battery. Hand built in Hungary (European Union).

The pedal has the Greek letter Phi (or Fi) on it. The name of the pedal comes from the Greek word φαρος (faros) which means lighthouse.
