Warm Audio Peach Fuzz – The Black Keys Signature Fuzz
Seventies fuzz, octave-up mayhem and The Black Keys – wrapped in peach-colored velvet.
The Warm Audio Peach Fuzz is a collaboration with The Black Keys, developed together with Dan Auerbach and created to celebrate the band's 2026 release Peaches!.
Based on the legendary '70s Foxy-style octave fuzz circuit, Peach Fuzz delivers everything from warm, chunky vintage grit to absolutely searing fuzz and psychedelic octave-up leads. Warm Audio has recreated the character of the original circuit with carefully selected components while adding a brilliantly useful modern feature: switchable latching or momentary octave-up control.
Tuned with Dan Auerbach & The Black Keys
Warm Audio worked closely with Dan Auerbach to fine-tune Peach Fuzz and expand the classic circuit for modern use. The dedicated octave switch can operate traditionally or in momentary mode, letting you instantly punch in an octave-up effect for a riff, lick or solo and release it just as quickly.
From Mellow to Mayhem
Peach Fuzz can be surprisingly restrained – but that's only half the fun. Turn up the Sustain and it becomes thick, aggressive and gloriously unruly, with the unmistakable upper-octave character that made the original '70s circuit famous.
The Mellow/Brite control changes the overall fuzz character, taking you from warmer, thicker sounds to brighter and more cutting tones that jump out of a mix.
Momentary Octave-Up
This is where Peach Fuzz really comes alive. The octave-up effect can be used in latching mode for traditional on/off operation or momentary mode for instantly adding octave-up madness exactly when you want it.
Kick it in for a solo, accent individual notes or create wild psychedelic textures without having to permanently engage the octave circuit.
Vintage Circuit, Premium Components
Warm Audio has gone far beyond simply recreating the look of the original pedal. Peach Fuzz is hand-assembled using components chosen to capture the response and character of the vintage circuit.
- NOS Fairchild 2N3565 transistors
- Germanium 1N34A diodes
- High-wattage carbon resistors
- Premium film capacitors
- Gold-plated PCB pads
- True bypass switching
Yes, It's Covered in Velvet
Just like the wonderfully eccentric fuzz pedals that inspired it, Peach Fuzz comes covered in thick peach-colored shag velvet. It's a tribute to the original '70s “frocked” enclosure and a nod to The Black Keys' Peaches! album.

Vintage octave fuzz was never supposed to be polite. Peach Fuzz takes one of the wildest sounds of the '70s, gives it The Black Keys treatment and adds just enough modern control to make the chaos seriously usable.
