About This Listing

The Unpleasant Surprise

Experimental Fuzz/Gate
Reminisce about the time you got your shoulder caught in the reciprocating saw while this unit destroys your slick jazz lines.

The fruit of an oddball circuit, hanging there awkwardly by some parasitic effect. Tweaked, bended and shoe-horned to optimize it's stench, it's unpleasance. Time has come to turn all dynamics to shit. Strangely, it feels very natural.

Product Overview
Sporting a rugged steel chassis, knobs for volume and saturation onset, and a wild triumvirate of gain, treble and compression knobs for a wide spread of grinding, experimental tone, the Fairfield Circuitry Unpleasant Surprise presses gated fuzz past all convention for one of the strangest and most inventive pedals on the market. Reminiscent of a robot gone AWOL or a buzz saw hacking through a circuit board, this little monster is the perfect addition for any bass, guitar, or synth player who thinks "abrasive" isn't far enough.
