Sun Face RCA red. Excellent Condition. Velcro on back.
Analog Man Sun Face
We are now making these in our own cases, as the Analog Man Sun Face . They are hand-built in the USA in small gold boxes, with our own SUNFACE circuit board, which was made small enough to fit in almost any enclosure. As you can see in the picture down below a bit, this is a VERY high quality board of the same type used on our other pedals.
Clean trimpot
The Sun Face fuzz has an internal CLEAN trim pot (white knob). This trim pot acts like turning down the VOLUME knob on your guitar, to clean up the fuzz. It can be used to preset the sound as with the volume knob rolled back a bit. It also allows easier control of the volume knob on your guitar when the white CLEAN trim pot is turned a bit. It can also be used to kill Radio Frequency Interference, which may be a problem on high gain pedals in some areas, by turning it down a hair. The CLEAN trimpot will also allow the sunface to work better after a vintage style wah pedal, without having to use a foxrox wah retrofit. It does not reduce the amount of fuzz that much, with humbuckers it can actually seem to have MORE fuzz by turning it a bit. We have an optional CLEAN knob if you want to be able to change this setting on the fly.
RCA germanium transistors
In 2018 we got some RCA germanium transistors in that sound great. Like the red dot NKT, these are a "house number", they were made for a specific customer so they don't have a normal 2N part number on them. They are nice and bright for germanium, with normal gain, and have excellent cleanup characteristics. The best feature of the RCA is that they are VERY stable at temperatures, so can work in the heat of a gig when other germaniums tend to go flat. We ran out for a while but got more in 2021. We can also use these for a HYBRID pedal, as the first transistor to keep them stable at temperatures and give the other germanium some brightness.
