Unleash a wave of sonic nostalgia with the SM Fuzz, a masterpiece in fuzz effect pedals that bridges the gap between vintage warmth and modern reliability. Crafted for musicians who crave that classic, gritty distortion, the SM Fuzz is powered by hand-selected AC128 germanium transistors, ensuring each note is rich, textured, and dripping with character.

Designed with temperature-tolerant circuitry, this pedal performs consistently in any environment, whether you're at a sweltering outdoor gig or in a chilly basement studio.

Its on/off volume pot offers intuitive control, letting you dial in the perfect amount of fuzz with ease.

SM Fuzz review | Guitar World

guitarworld.com

The SM Fuzz is a standout in the fuzz pedal market, offering rare availability and an authentic vintage fuzz sound at a competitive price. Its germanium transistors deliver a rich tone with excellent response to guitar volume, making it a versatile tool for musicians. However, its side-mounted knobs and on/off switching may not appeal to everyone. Despite these minor drawbacks, the pedal's overall performance and value make it a must-have for fuzz enthusiasts.

The SM Fuzz delivers classic 60s germanium fuzz tones with a dynamic response, making it a sought-after pedal for enthusiasts. Its temperature-tolerant circuitry is a notable feature, ensuring consistent performance without the typical reliability issues. The pedal's touch-sensitive nature allows for nuanced sound control, from clean tones to rich fuzz, offering a rewarding playing experience.

Magic fuzz pedal

I find this fuzz pedal great for my style of music, which is a kind of blues meets soul meets jazz. Listen to Scott McKeon's promo video on his webpage for this pedal (http://www.smfuzz.com/). That's just the sound I get through my amps which is either a Fender Blues jr, a Genz Benz Black Pearl 30 or a clone of a Fuchs ODS 50.

McKeon builds his own fuzz pedals, also called SM fuzz. SM Fuzz is used by a variety of artists, including James Bay, Gary Clark Jr., Robbie McIntosh, and Craig Ross. McKeon recalls his experiences with creating his fuzz pedals:

It really was a stroke of luck that the pedal actually worked. I’d never been able to find a fuzz pedal that was readily available and sounded authentic, so i though i\’d have a go at making one myself. My soldering skills weren’t great, and after a few burns and frustrating hours i plugged it in. to my surprise it worked and sounded great. warm, fuzzy, saturated and yet when the guitar volume is turned down a little. It ended up being a main stay on my pedal board ever since. I got a fair amount of interest from different players who wanted to get a similar sound, and asked me if i could make them one.

Mentioned as one of the pedals in November 2022 Guitar World issue (the link to the article).

King Zapata mentions his SM Fuzz in this interview at 29:30 saying:

The fuzz is Scott McKeon Fuzz. It's out of London, England. It's a Fuzz Face, but it's not temperamental like most fuzz faces are. It's germanium, but he found a way to make it work in the summer time.
