For the “tweakers” at heart there’s an internal
gain control in the center of the circuit board.
This sets the overall range of the external FUZZ
control. A small flat blade screw driver is all that’s
need to fine tune your tone. Our midway point is
a very common starting point and great for nearly
all players. For more gain turn it clockwise and for
a cleaner boost turn it down. I’m sure you’ll find a
tone that is just perfect for your ears!

CAPACITOR SWAP OUT!
These caps are provided so that if you MUST change
the low bass response of the pedal, you can. Consider
this a last resort as most people just switch to a
different pick-up on their guitar for altered tones.
The Fuzz Head comes stock with a 0.027uF capacitor
•
installed. (It’s marked 273 on the part.)
To get a treble-boosting type of sound, you can
•
switch to the 0.015uF capacitor marked 153. It will
really cut the low end and make the pedal scream!
To get more bass from the pedal, switch to the
•
cap marked 333 or 473! These caps will produce a
progressively fatter sound. It’s possible these caps
will be a little thick for chord work, but super thick
for leads.
The warranty of the Fuzz Head is in two parts. For one
year we will cover anything that electrically fails within
the pedal. This includes foot and toggle switches,
potentiometers, jacks, etc. No abuse will be covered.
The Fuzz Head circuit board, everything on it including
the germanium transistor, is covered for 2 years. This 2
year warranty does not include switches, toggles, etc,
just the parts on the board, including the germanium
transistor. This warranty is only offered to the original
purchaser. In the unlikely event of a warranty repair,
claims must be accompanied by proof of purchase from
a Keeley Authorized Dealer.
Included with your Fuzz Head are three capacitors.
(There is one in your Fuzz Head, the large, orange-
brown object in the lower left hand corner of the
picture.) Most folks will never use them as they are for
the Die-Hard-Tweakers.
WARRANTY
If you have the need for
more bass, let us know,

to play with. Send $5

The internal tone control is on the left side of the board
and black/white in color. It stands up on edge and can
be rotated by thumb or screw driver. This is a simple
high pass filter and can be used to sharpen your high
end or cut it back as needed. Use it to shape the sizzle
in your fuzz tone exactly as you see fit. In conjunction
with additional capacitors, there’s a wealth of tones
you can get!!!
The silver can-style transistor is the Germanium
transistor. Please don’t touch or move it. We use
a gold pin socket to avoid soldering on it. Heat can
damage or alter this transistor. Some units might
have slightly different looking transistors. No need for
alarm, each transistor we use is tested for a certain
gain and leakage to ensure each Fuzz Head has a
similar sound.
