Fender Shields Blender Fuzz Pedal

The Fender Shields Blender Fuzz Pedal is a groundbreaking innovation born from a collaborative effort between Fender and the legendary Kevin Shields.

Kevin Shields, known for his pioneering contributions to guitar tones in alternative rock during the '80s and '90s, relied on the original Fender Blender effect pedal to create iconic walls of fuzz and captivating sonic landscapes.

Now, after more than four years of development, Fender and Shields have resurrected the mythical 1970s fuzz and enhanced it with a range of innovative features, giving birth to the Fender Shields Blender.

Fender Shields Blender Fuzz Pedal Key Features

• Vintage Circuit, Modern Control: The Fender Shields Blender faithfully reproduces the tone of Kevin Shields' vintage 1970s Fender Blender by meticulously tracing the circuit from his personal fuzz box. This vintage circuit serves as the core of the pedal.
• Dual Fuzz Channels: The pedal offers two footswitchable channels of fuzz, each equipped with dedicated level controls. This allows you to blend the fuzz voice with your clean signal or combine it with a robust suboctave fuzz.
