Have you ever wanted your guitar fuzz to sound like a synth? If not, why not? The Keeley Synth-1 pedal turns your plain, old guitar signal into a keyboard synth, cutting through with lightsaber-like whizz.

Keeley are well known for making unique pedals to spice up your standard guitar tone. The Synth-1 is yet another creative stompbox added to the line-up to do just that.

Sound

It acts as a wave generator, creating a beam of fuzz closely resembling a vintage analogue synth. It sounds great even if you’re just playing single-notes thanks to its lively character and depth. 

Choose between three types of sound waves, varying from smooth drifts of fuzz, through aggressive square waves or abrupt attack. And you can change these on the fly with your foot using the three-way switch. 

Controls

The Blend control mixes wet and dry signals, so you can use the Synth-1 subtly, or flood the natural tone with fuzzy goodness. The Filter dial alters tone depth even further. Attack changes the lead-in time – whether the effect enters as soon as note is played or if there’s a level of latency. Create slow reverse swells with this turned up high.

Its Chaos switch does exactly what it’s meant to do – wreak synthetic havoc. It adds random octaves, dimensional triggering and all sorts of artefacts to make the Synth-1 as unpredictable as possible. 

Pedalboard Friendly

The Synth-1 is expression pedal compatible for similar use to a wah effect. Completed with true bypass and top-mounted jacks, making the Synth-1 an integral tool on your pedalboard for live use.

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

The Important stuff

Effects — Effects are guitar pedals and processors used to shape, enhance, or transform your sound. They can add anything from subtle warmth and dynamics control to heavy distortion, modulation, ambience, and time-based textures, allowing players to tailor their tone to different styles and musical situations. Used individually or combined into a signal chain, effects give players creative control over how their guitar responds and sits in a mix. From simple, single-function pedals to advanced multi-effects units, effects are an essential part of modern guitar setups for both live performance and recording.. Pedal — Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own..
