SM Fuzz - The Scott McKeon Signature Fuzz Pedal

Vintage fuzz tone, handmade in the UK.

Main Features

  • Hand built and hand wired in the UK
  • Selected and hand biased AC128 Germanium Transistors
  • Temperature tolerant circuitry - your pedal won't change tone in hot climates
  • True bypass
  • Ultra bright blue led
  • 9v power input
  • Custom desgined circuit

The SM Fuzz isn't like a standard off the shelf pedal, it requires a little more thought and attention. It won't sound good through a small transistor amp and a cheap guitar. It might take a little getting used to. Fine adjustments on the guitar can make a big difference to the output tone of the fuzz pedal. It can go from max saturation to an almost tube screamer like overdrive and gain boost, with just a few subtle adjustments on the guitar, without even having to touch the settings of the fuzz pedal itself.

The SM Fuzz sounds best when it see's the guitar first, meaning the pedal should be first in the chain. Sometimes if it's after a wah or pedal that is not true bypass it can effect the tone of the SM Fuzz pedal. Normally Scott sets the SM Fuzz with volume on full and the fuzz about 3/4. Of course it's up to you how to set the pedal, but that's what we recommend.

Powering The SM Fuzz
The SM Fuzz pedal is positive ground which means it must be used with an isolated power supply, so sharing a power source with another pedal will blow out the power source. It blows because the negative ground on normal pedals flows through the patch cable shield to the positive ground of the SM Fuzz, shorting out the power supply. Using a single power cable from the Voodoo Labs Pedalpower 2 would be safe though.

No Need To Unplug
The On/ Off knob feature, which comes as standard, is one we decided to add quite late on in the designing stage. It basically means if you have the pedal mounted on a pedal board, battery powered or don't have a power supply, rather than having to remove the input jack – to save on power – you can leave the pedal plugged in and just turn the volume control until it clicks off. This means you can leave the SM Fuzz plugged in, without draining the battery.
