The Strymon Fairfax is more than just another overdrive pedal — it’s like carrying a classic Class A amplifier in your gig bag. Designed with 100% analog circuitry inspired by rare vintage circuits of the 1960s, Fairfax delivers rich, harmonic saturation and dynamic, organic sustain that feels alive under your fingers. Its custom output-transformer emulation and internal high-voltage design take that humble 9 V input and convert it to a full 40 V headroom, giving your tone a lush, expressive character whether you’re adding a subtle boost to your clean sound or cranking into gritty, saturated territory. With intuitive Drive and Level controls and a Bright switch to shape your high frequencies, this pedal adapts beautifully to a wide range of playing styles and amps, offering everything from warm, cello-like harmonics to bold, angular overdrive. 

What really sets the Fairfax apart is its dynamic Sag control, which responds to your touch just like a classic tube amp does. At lower Sag settings you’ll hear firm, tight response reminiscent of a solid-state rectifier, and as you dial it up the tone begins to breathe, compress, and even sputter with that controlled chaos beloved by players chasing vintage amp feel. All of this expressive potential comes in a rugged, compact enclosure with true bypass switching and top-mounted knobs that are stage-ready and road-proof. Whether you’re stacking it in front of your favorite amp or using it as the heart of your drive section, the Fairfax brings amp-level warmth and character to your pedalboard. The Strymon Fairfax is available now at Haggerty’s Music to elevate your tonal palette.
