The Black Keys Peach Fuzz is a fuzz guitar pedal with a selectable octave-up hold, made by Warm Audio as a collaboration with The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach. It is a pedalboard-friendly take on Warm Audio's vintage-inspired '70s Foxy-style fuzz and octave circuit, the type of design known for piercing fuzz, thick saturation, and octave-up solo magic. Warm Audio released it in 2026 alongside compact MOD versions of its Centavo and Stereo Chorus/Vibrato pedals123.
What it does and how it is controlled
The Peach Fuzz carries three controls: Volume for dialing in level, Sustain, and a Mellow-to-Brite tone control. Warm Audio says these make it easy to dial in everything from low-gain grit to thick, searing saturation1.
The headline feature is the octave-up hold. Warm Audio customized the circuit with a momentary/latching octave-up hold switch, making it easy to kick in soaring octave tones for riffs, solos, and creative studio moments2. In momentary mode the octave is only heard while the switch is held; in latching mode it stays engaged until pressed again.
Where it came from
The pedal is built on Warm Audio's own Foxy-style fuzz and octave design1. Warm Audio lists it in its MOD series, described as a pedalboard-friendly reimagination of that '70s-style circuit2. Guitar Pedal X covered its release in October 2026 as a brand-new Peach Fuzz take on the Foxx Tone Machine, released alongside compact MOD versions of the Centavo and Stereo Chorus/Vibrato3.
Related pedals in Warm Audio's line include the Warm Audio Foxy Tone Box and the Foxy-style fuzz/octave Black Keys collaboration, both covered on their own pages, alongside the company's other fuzz designs such as the Warm Bender.
