SolidGoldFX Spanish Castle | Dual Fuzz
Two Lots Of 60s Fuzz Magic
The year 1969: Not only was Led Zeppelin's eponymous album released, but Woodstock took place in August. 1969 marks a turning point in the gear world also; it was the year that Dallas-Arbiter switched Fuzz Face production from the lower-gain germanium transistor core to readily available higher-gain silicon devices. SolidGoldFX's Spanish Castle pays tribute to this year.

WAYS TO PAY:
Packed to the turrets with fuzz spread across two separate and footswitchable If 6 Was 9 circuits, the Spanish Castle is the perfect device for the fuzz-crazy and fuzz-curious alike. Combining both Fuzz Face eras with a little contemporary magic is what SGFX do around their headquarters.
The right side of the Spanish Castle represents the warmer pre-'69 circuit and is equipped with low-gain silicon transistors that emulate the rich character of germanium with more stable and consistent operation. Unlike the Faces of yore, this circuit is equipped with a bias circuit to dial in just the right flavour, and cleans up like a champ. The original tenant of the Spanish Castle would have loved it.
On the left side, a post-'69 If 6 Was 9 circuit lies in wait. This wing of the Spanish Castle offers up higher-gain silicon transistors for a more buzzsaw-like grind, and an extended bias range for dialling in ripping gated fuzz textures as well as full-bodied snarl.
Each side offers up two toggle switches - Colour is a three-position switch that adjusts the EQ of its respective side, from flat EQ to two settings that shave off treble and mids. The Input toggle is also a three-position switch, changing gain and bass values that make the Spanish Castle adapt better to your wahs and other pedals.
Please enjoy your stay in the Spanish Castle. You'd better make yourself at home. You're going to be here a while.
