The Fuzz Head just sounds like a high gain tuned overdrive in these clips, where as the Sun Face sounds like a real fuzz. . . And I've heard the Sun Face cleans up better, which is a HUGE plus. For true FUZZ, the Sun Face is the way to go. The Fuzz Head is a nice change of pace though.
To me the sunface is much nicer sounding. i guess, that is why i have two of them. one normal nkt275 and one high gain. the keeley may be a good pedal, if you don't hear highs so good anymore. :o) like all things, keeley does. and fulltone. and lovepedal. but thats just my opinion...
I prefer the Kelley, I own one, and R.K. includes several caps with different values so you can tweak with the tones (bass, mids, trebble), and for 5bucks you can order more if you like, also there are two internal wheels inside that allow you to dial on different fuzz ranges, and another for bass, trebble adjustments. The Keeley Fuzz Head can be set up to sound like any other fuzz sound you are looking for, oh, and you can switch from Germanium to Silicone transistors. That's a lot in one box.
It's true, we all hear different things I guess, but I think I prefer the Keeley. I've checked them both out before and though they are both really decent, the Keeley to me isn't as muddy while it seems to be more transparent. I want a fuzz to give me fuzz while allowing my gear to retain it's signature. I don't care for a pedal to color my tone too much or to, in this case, be too bassy or dark.
Thanks for doing the A/B comparison. I was looking for a new Fuzz sound and hopefully I found it. I just ordered the Sunface from analogman. Both sound very good but the Sunface just sounds to my ears a little warmer exactly what I am looking for. Thanks again.
I like the Analogman better. The Keeley is thin and muddy sounding in comparison. Not too bad though, it's still a good pedal...just not better than the Sun Face.
Eh, it's all personal opinions at the end of the day anyway. Honestly, a player could use either one of them and I'd never know the difference since they're both quite good.
I completely agree. On what I hear now, the Analogman sounds brighter, the Keeley muffled. But if the Keeley is so adjustable, it might be able to deliver all the tones of the Analogman. Both great pedals, by the way.
Can anyone tell me the amp that these were recorded on?
The analogman sounds much beefier and fatter, with more gain. The Keeley is too scooped, like a half cocked wah. Hats off to analogman, that's great tone.
Yeah, I'm diggin' the sunface too..has more of a vintage vibe, the fuzz head sounds a bit too raw & has more of a modern distortion sound going on than a "classic fuzz", probably better for heavier styles though.
These units sound nearly identical. The Sunface has more bass & is more "Blue Cheer" than the Fuzz Head but I'm sure more bass could be dialed into the FH. I'll be getting my Fuzz Head in the mail later today & I can't wait!

What type of NKT is that in the Sun Face, Is it the red dot?
I´m very curious!!!
Need to know so I can order the same. It´s amazing!
Thanks a lot...

To my ears, the analogman sounds more vintage, the FH sounds more like a big muff type.

Innit funny how different people hear different things? Now I happen to think the AM sounds muddier and the FH sounds brighter.

I don't think either of them sound muddy at all for a fuzz. I just think the AM is darker and the Keeley is brighter

I prefer the keeley much more, it sounds slighly thicker and cleaner.

I Think I prefer the Sun Face, but the difference is TINY. I'll probably get one at some point.

i;m getting the fuzz head. they sound pretty much the same, and to get an LED and a jack in the pedal it cost 60 dollars more. Fuzz Head for me.
