Warm Audio Dirty Boy Jr. Fuzz
Warm Audio · pedal
The Warm Audio Dirty Boy Jr. Fuzz is built around the original Dirty Boy Afro Fuzz circuit, part of a three-pedal Jr. series created in collaboration with boutique builder Dirty Boy Pedals to bring their circuits to a more affordable, pedalboard-friendly format. It delivers rich sustain and harmonic saturation with dynamic cleanup via the guitar's volume knob, and includes the series' signature six-position frequency selector for shaping the fuzz's tonal character. As part of the wider Dirty Boy Jr. series alongside a Booster and an Overdrive model, it shares the boutique-derived circuit design philosophy of the original, full-size Dirty Boy pedals. Released in 2026 as a newly launched collaboration, it targets players wanting boutique-level fuzz character without the cost or wait of the original hand-built Dirty Boy units.
