Keeley’s three-transistor Fuzz Bender is a hairy powerhouse
This fuzzbox blends high-gain silicon with smooth germanium.
Back at NAMM 2019, Keeley lifted the lid on a slew of pedals. The hairiest of the lot, the Fuzz Bender, has now been officially released.
As its name suggests, this pedal is designed for epic, mind-bending fuzz tones. Tonal flavour, on the other hand, is contributed by a three-transistor setup comprising both high-gain silicon and smooth germanium.
The Fuzz Bender also features a two-band active EQ provided by two gyrators. This lets you craft hard-hitting fuzz tones unmatched by square-wave contemporaries, according to Keeley. In operation, the active EQ bands – bass and treble – offer more than 20dB of boost/cut at both 100Hz and 10KHz.
Another interesting feature on the stomper is the all-new Bias knob, responsible for the attack and decay of notes. Adjusting this knob unlocks a range of fuzz types, including fat square waves, angular fuzz and even glitchy Velcro attacks. Rounding out the pedal’s controls are master Level and Fuzz knobs.
