Fender The Pelt Fuzz V2 effects pedal

General

With the Fender The Pelt Fuzz V2, you can give your guitar or bass a real dose of character. This fuzz effects pedal is built using silicon transistors and combines a classic feel with extensive options for shaping your distortion. From biting octave fuzz to a smooth, overtone-rich wall of gain: it offers a wide range of possibilities. Use the Fuzz, Tone and Level controls to set the basics, whilst the buffer-friendly input makes it easy to combine with buffered pedals. Use the Blend control to mix the incoming signal with your fuzz. Handy if you want to retain some definition on bass or blend in the drive sound from a preceding pedal.

From subtle saturation to sputtering fuzz

Whereas a simple fuzz pedal sticks to just a few knobs, The Pelt Fuzz V2 gives you extra tools to shape how it responds to your playing. With Sag and Bloom, you can fine-tune how the distortion breaks up, how the attack comes through and just how much sputtering each note gets. The Mids and Thick switches offer additional tone shaping for the midrange and low frequencies. Fancy taking it further? With the Octave (Chaos) footswitch, you can add a traditional octave above. Switch on Chaos to get an asymmetrical octave effect with erratic, stuttering sounds. This transforms a familiar fuzz tone into something quite unpredictable.

Practical on your pedalboard

This purple Fender is also practically designed for your pedalboard. The sockets are located on the top and the aluminium casing is built for use on the go. On the back, you can choose between true bypass and buffered bypass, allowing you to tailor the pedal to your signal chain. If the power supply fails, a relay automatically switches to bypass. With the Multiswitch function, you can use the footswitches either with a short tap or by holding them down temporarily. This is handy for a sustained fuzz layer as well as a brief effect accent. The pedal runs on a 9V DC adaptor (not included) with a negative centre pin and draws 80 mA.
