The Keeley Moon Op Amp Fuzz pedal is a supermassive destroyer, spinning galaxies of gain! Tidal wave bass response gives you tones as heavy as gravity itself. The Moon's unique filter control offers an expanded range of usable tones, with the filter switch positioned below giving you three distinct EQ phases: "classic" scooped mids, flat EQ, or full range. Feed the Moon Op Amp Fuzz with your favorite drive pedals, and unlock worlds of complex tones!
Quad Op Amp Design
The Moon’s massive sound is achieved with a quad op amp delivering four stages of gain and fuzz. This circuit has its roots in Keeley's popular Dark Side pedal. In that design, Keeley tailored the tone and gain of the pedal to be a vintage-sounding fuzz optimised for lead work. They wanted to go 180 degrees in the other direction with the Moon pedal's tone — to achieve infinite-sounding dreamy deep fuzz!
This is a punishingly heavy op amp fuzz designed to extend your guitar or bass frequencies as low as possible. This also means that your lead tones will be extremely harmonically rich. So thick is the fuzz, that your notes will rise and peak into brilliant feedback!

Amp
An amp pedal, often referred to as an amp simulator pedal or amp modeling pedal, is a type of effects pedal designed to emulate the sound and characteristics of various guitar amplifiers. By using digital or analog processing, these pedals replicate the tonal qualities, gain stages, and tonal response of different types of amplifiers, such as vintage tube amps, high-gain modern amps, or classic solid-state models.
Amp pedals are typically used to shape a guitarist’s tone without needing to rely on multiple physical amplifiers. They offer a range of preset or adjustable sounds that mimic the effects of different amp types, including their distinctive overdrive, distortion, and EQ settings. Some amp pedals also include additional features like cabinet simulations, which mimic the sound of different speaker cabinets, and built-in effects like reverb and delay. This makes them a versatile tool for achieving a variety of tones and sounds, whether in a practice setting, recording studio, or live performance, providing convenience and flexibility in a compact form.
Fuzz
Fuzz is a distinctive type of distortion effect used in guitar playing, known for producing a thick, saturated, and buzzy tone. Unlike other distortion effects that aim to mimic the sound of overdriven tube amplifiers, fuzz pedals create a more extreme and aggressive distortion by severely clipping the guitar signal. This results in a unique sound characterized by rich harmonics, extended sustain, and a pronounced edge. Key features of fuzz pedals include gain, tone, and level controls. The gain control adjusts the amount of distortion applied to the signal, with higher settings producing more aggressive tones. The tone control allows musicians to shape the frequency response of the effect, ranging from dark and bass-heavy to bright and treble-focused sounds. Lastly, the level control sets the overall output, ensuring that the fuzz effect matches the volume of the rest of the signal chain or amplifier.
Fuzz pedals are popular across various music genres, particularly in rock, blues, and psychedelic music, due to their ability to enhance different guitar-playing styles. For rhythmic riffs, fuzz pedals create thick and aggressive tones with plenty of sustain and grit, adding depth to power chords, riffs, and palm-muted passages. In lead solos, they allow guitarists to achieve soaring, saturated tones with singing sustain and harmonically rich overtones, helping solos stand out in a mix.
Fuzz pedals are versatile tools for creating experimental sounds, capable of producing oscillating feedback, glitchy textures, and otherworldly tones when pushed to their extremes. Overall, fuzz pedals offer guitarists a powerful means of shaping their tone and adding character to their playing. Whether used subtly for warmth or dialled up for extreme distortion, fuzz pedals inspire creativity and expand the sonic palette of any guitarist.

Pedal
A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.
This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.
Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.
Once you buy one, you can’t stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.
