Comparing 2 in-stock offers, from 223,43 € to 261,06 €.

The Strymon Fairfax is far more than another overdrive pedal; its a fully analogue miniature amplifier that recreates the sound and feel of a cranked Class A output stage. Inspired by the rare Herzog unit that powered classic rock tones in the late 60s Fairfax captures that blend of harmonic richness natural sustain and tube-like behaviour without relying on valves or high voltage supplies. Every note feels glued together in an organic way thanks to its custom circuit that emulates the quirks of an output transformer delivering the same touch sensitivity and dynamic response players associate with expressive vintage amps. Inside a transformer-based supply boosts your 9V input to 40V giving Fairfax huge headroom and a genuinely amp-like reaction to your guitar and playing dynamics. The variable Sag control adds anything from soft compression to wild gated textures depending on how hard you dig in while the Drive and Level controls let you push your amp with anything from sweet harmonic lift to aggressive angular saturation. Whether used as a low-gain enhancer a sustaining lead voice or a creative tone-shaper Fairfax offers impressive versatility and true analogue character in a compact format.
