The Reeves Electro Facet IZ is a fuzz pedal from Reeves Electro's DaughterBoard series, a take on the silicon Fuzz Face circuit with an added Tone control. Guitar Pedal X's Stefan Karlsson called it a "Great sounding Silicon Fuzz Face with added Tone control"1. It is priced at £259 and is built around a pair of rare NOS Micro Electronics C1016Y yellow dot transistors1.
What it does
The Facet IZ follows the silicon Fuzz Face formula: a two-transistor fuzz design, in this case powered by a pair of rare NOS Micro Electronics C1016Y yellow dot transistors, with a Tone control added on top of the usual fuzz voicing1. It is a follow-up to The Darlington Flyer in the DaughterBoard series1.
Limited release
The Facet IZ is listed at £2591. Like other Reeves Electro DaughterBoard releases, it is built around a fixed complement of rare NOS transistors, in this case a pair of Micro Electronics C1016Y yellow dot types1.
With only 25 units made, the Facet IZ is a limited release rather than a continuously available pedal. A related model, the Reeves Electro Facet FF, has appeared in the series alongside it.
