Description

Got a Class A amplifier? This might be what you've been looking for in an overdrive/fuzz box! The blend between the two is simply wonderful! The Fuzz Head is designed to work like Fuzz Face pedals that many players use as a LEAD BOOST. A Fuzz Face can be muddy, lacking note definition, too bassy, and lacking sustain. An overdrive sometimes doesn't give enough or is too smooth. In contrast, our design is transparent, has a better frequency response, and gives you that cutting edge for lead breaks.

• The Heart of this pedal is a NPN Germanium Transistor.
• Additional Gain Stage, a Darlington Pair of high gain silicon transistors for tons of volume output. This is great for overdriving tube amps or other overdrive pedals.
• Buffered output so that it can drive pedals or amps with a nice high current and low impedance signal.
• True-Bypass--offers you a clean true signal when the pedal is off.
• Large Blue LED, a Killer Keeley Trademark!
• Silicon/Germanium Toggle switch. This is like a gain/style switch. The "SI" mode inserts two diodes (one silicon and one germanium in parallel) in the distortion circuit so you can have a modern twist on a vintage sound. It increases the gain and compression a bit for more sustain and for more of an overdrive mode. The "GE" mode is just raw and open sounding!
• Very Transparent and Dynamic. Taking the best qualities of the germainum designs and the overdrives. Roll back the volume on your guitar for clean sounds, a variety of Tones, Textures, and Natural Fuzz/Overdrive!
• Internal Drive-Range Control. Let's you set up the Range of the Exteral drive control (FUZZ). Perfect for fine tuning light overdrive tones to raging Fuzz.
• NEW USERS!!! This control works "backwards": turn it down to lower the resistance and INCREASE DISTORTION, TURN IT UP so it will CLEAN UP.
• NEW FOR JUNE 2004 *****INTERNAL TONE CONTROL!*****
• Simple to setup and use as a Lead Boost! Use the Fuzz Head in conjunction with our TS9, BD-2, DS-1 mods for a great dual pedal setup!
