I usually set the volume at unity or above, turn the fuzz up until it's too much then back it off just a smidge (Philip Sayce advice). The bias knob in the middle can yield some interesting and fun tones from gated spitting sounds (anti-clockwise) to more overdrive like (counter clockwise). There are great sounds to be had turning the volume pot down on your guitar too - in fact so many awesome clean tone to be had using a fuzz with the guitar volume down. Don't forget, a lot of the classic sounds were just cranked amps with a fuzz or treble booster then a lot of tonal adjustment coming from the guitar controls. *Final note - they are noisy, embrace it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBC183 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Medium high gain. These are really smooth, almost like a germanium sound and people often are surprised at how well they clean up.  The Sun Dial is an external bias control.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Analogman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978121543960,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/5539\/7400\/files\/AnalogmanSunFaceBC1831.jpg?v=1776764971","url":"https:\/\/thepedallibrary.com.au\/products\/analogman-sun-face-bc183-silicone-transistor","provider":"The Pedal Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
