Fender Shields Blender Fuzz

An innovator and pivotal influence on effect-laden guitar tones, Kevin Shields awakened iconic sonic walls of fuzz like the world had never heard as he defined the tone of alternative rock in the ’80s and ’90s. His tool of choice for fuzz laden chaos: an original Fender Blender effect pedal, prized for its dynamic response and gripping fuzz splatter. Now, through over four years of co-development Fender and Shields have resurrected this mythical 1970’s fuzz and injected a subversive feature set, creating the all-new Fender Shields Blender.

At its core, the Fender Shields Blender Fuzz echoes the tone of Shields’ own vintage 1970s Fender Blender, thanks to carefully hand tracing the circuit from his personal fuzz box. Built around this vintage circuit are entirely new ways of controlling and blending the original fuzz voice, all crafted with performance in mind utilizing four easy-access footswitches. Two footswitchable channels of fuzz, each with dedicated level controls, offer the ability to blend the fuzz voice with your clean signal or to blend the fuzz voice with a beefy suboctave fuzz, while the sag footswitch introduces sputtering and ducking effects like never before heard, all controlled by the intensity of your playing dynamics.

Two switchable channels of fuzz

While the original Fender Blender sported a more-or-less traditional set of stompbox controls, the Shields Blender significantly ups your sonic potential with two footswitchable channels of fuzz, activated by pressing the Octave footswitch.

Channel one: This Channel offers a blend between the fuzz signal and your dry guitar signal, allowing you to mix in your cleans to add a touch of clarity to the Shields Blender’s turbulent tone.
Channel two: The second channel operates more like a traditional fuzzbox, but blends your signal with a monophonic sub-octave fuzz. Moreover, this pedal’s massive-sounding octave effect provides a sweeping 3-octave range!

Original vintage Fender circuit combined with an all-new control set
Two channels and three octaves of blendable, analog fuzz tones
Footswitchable, reactive voltage sag circuit controlled by picking dynamics

DOD Chthonic Fuzz Effects Pedal

DOD Chthonic Fuzz Effects Pedal – Drawn from the darkest depths of the sonic void, DOD’s Chthonic fuzz pedal is precision-voiced to make any single-coil pickup shudder.

The result? A dar, dreadful fuzz that can transform thin single-coil pickups and clean, bright amps into sludgy fuzz walls of cosmic proportions. Moreover, while the Chthonic is certainly capable of smothering any signal chain in all-encompassing fuzz, dialing down the gain or your guitar’s volume knob offers a remarkably versatile range of gain tones to choose from with superb touch sensitivity.

Electro Harmonix J Mascis Signature Ram’s Head Big Muff Fuzz Pedal

Electro Harmonix J Mascis Signature Ram’s Head Big Muff Fuzz Pedal – For most players, an “always-on” pedal is a subtle boost or a pinch of reverb. However, most players are not J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr., an indie-rock guitar hero and a man who proudly proclaims “the Muff is always on.” The Electro-Harmonix J Mascis Signature Ram’s Head Big Muff is a replication of one of his favorite Muffs, the 1973 V2 Violet Ram’s Head Big Muff Pi — a renowned fuzz for its ability to remain clear, present, and defined on even the most crushing settings. Dinosaur Jr.’s tonal foundation owes much to this mighty pedal, and it’s been the sonic core of J’s laid-back 6-string virtuosity across the band’s entire output. If you’re looking to capture the sound that defined the “Freak Scene” of ’80s and ’90s indie rock, string up the ol’ Jazzmaster and kick on the Electro-Harmonix J Mascis Signature Ram’s Head Big Muff!
