The Sonicake Fazy Cream is a compact fuzz pedal built around a Muff style fuzz circuit, the family of big, saturated fuzzes that traces back to the classic Muff designs. Sonicake describes it as delivering "a classic muff sound," with a 100% analog circuit that runs from classic creamy fuzz to high gain fuzzy distortion, and it is designed for both guitar and bass1. For a player after a first fuzz, or a second one to leave on a board, it covers the Muff territory at a low price: the list price is $29.99 USD as of the maker's product page dated 26 October 20261.

What it does to your sound

Sonicake positions the Fazy Cream across the whole Muff style range, from what the maker calls classic creamy fuzz up to high gain fuzzy distortion1. Because the circuit is fully analog, it behaves the way analog fuzzes do on a board, responding to the guitar's volume control and the Fuzz knob setting rather than processing the signal digitally. The maker's description of the circuit as a "Muff Style Fuzz Sound designed for both Guitar and Bass" also appears on RockBoard's PedalPedia entry for the pedal2, and it means bass players can run it without a separate bass-specific fuzz. For more on the effect type itself, see Fuzz Pedals, and for how fuzz sits next to its driven cousins, see Overdrive Pedals and Distortion Pedals.

The controls: Fuzz and Tone

The Fazy Cream keeps things to two knobs and a footswitch.

ControlWhat it does
FUZZWide-ranged fuzz control; Sonicake says it lets you control your tone "from whisper to roar"1
TONETone shaping with what Sonicake calls a wide control range, "from Pitch Dark to Aggressively Blasting"1
FootswitchTrue bypass switching to keep a clean signal path when off1

The wide FUZZ range is the pedal's main character control: low settings give the creamy end of the maker's description, and higher settings push into the high gain fuzzy distortion side1. The TONE knob is the trim tool, sweeping from dark to bright across the range Sonicake describes1.

Power and setup

The Fazy Cream runs on a DC 9V supply with a 5.5 x 2.1mm center negative connector and draws 3mA1. Sonicake notes that the power supply is not included, so you will need a standard center negative pedal power supply to use it1.

The Fazy Cream has no battery option listed by the maker: it works with a 9V center negative regular pedal power supply, which is not included in the box1.

At 3mA, the current draw is low enough that the pedal fits comfortably on any output of a standard pedalboard power supply without worrying about daisy chain limits1. Its small footprint, 93.5mm deep by 42mm wide by 52mm high, and 216g weight make it an easy fit on a crowded board1.

What reviewers and players say

On Sonicake's own product page, the Fazy Cream is listed as based on 15 reviews1. Those are ratings on the maker's own site rather than the verdict of a named reviewer, so they are worth less than an independent published review when judging the pedal.

Where it sits in Sonicake's range

Sonicake makes a related fuzz, the Sonicake Fazy Sandwich, and the Fazy Cream is the maker's take on the Muff style corner of that range1. If you are comparing fuzzes more widely, the Fuzz Pedals page covers the type as a whole.

Questions

Does the Sonicake Fazy Cream come with a power supply?

No. Sonicake states the pedal works with a 9V center negative regular pedal power supply, which is not included. The pedal uses a 5.5 x 2.1mm center negative connector and draws only 3mA, so almost any standard pedal power supply can run it.

Is the Sonicake Fazy Cream true bypass?

Yes. Sonicake describes the Fazy Cream as having a true bypass footswitch that keeps a clean signal path when the pedal is off.

Can you use the Sonicake Fazy Cream with bass?

Yes. Sonicake describes the Fazy Cream as a Muff style fuzz sound designed for both guitar and bass, so bass players can run it on a bass rig as well as guitar.

How much current does the Sonicake Fazy Cream draw?

Sonicake lists the current draw at 3mA at 9V DC, which is very low by pedal standards and well within what any standard pedalboard power supply output provides.

Is the Sonicake Fazy Cream an analog fuzz?

Yes. Sonicake describes the Fazy Cream as a 100% analog circuit that takes you from classic creamy fuzz to high gain fuzzy distortion.
