Warm Audio - WA-PF The Black Keys Peach Fuzz Limited Edition

The Warm Audio ‘The Black Keys Peach Fuzz’, Limited Edition is an analogue fuzz pedal inspired by 1970s models, with a design tailored to modern uses. It covers a range from subtle crunch to thick distortion, with a response suited to heavy riffs, dense chords and melodic lines that need to maintain a strong presence in the mix.

The collaboration with Dan Auerbach has resulted in a targeted enhancement of the upper octave function, with a control allowing the effect to be either continuously engaged or activated momentarily. On the Peach Fuzz model, this feature expands the musical possibilities for accents, phrase endings and passages where an octave boost appears and then disappears without altering the rest of the fuzz settings. This function also adds an expressive dimension to riffs and solos.

In terms of construction, Warm Audio has opted for a 100 per cent analogue design featuring NOS Fairchild 2N3565 transistors, 1N34A germanium diodes, carbon resistors and high-end film capacitors. The printed circuit boards feature gold-plated pads; the true bypass circuit preserves the signal path without the effect; and the hand-assembled units also undergo individual quality control in Austin. This combination of carefully selected components and meticulous manufacturing processes reinforces the vintage feel sought after for this fuzz pedal.

The control panel features Volume, Sustain and a Mellow or Brit selector, along with a higher octave switch and a dedicated Hold function. This layout allows you to shape the fuzz from a subtle texture to massive saturation, and then add an octave depending on the musical context. The unit retains a distinctive aesthetic thanks to its peach-coloured velvet finish, which stems directly from the collaboration with The Black Keys and their 2026 album *Peaches!*.
