Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Save on Distortion & Overdrive
I'm a new guitarist just starting my guitar journey at 65, I have a Tele. and a Strat. I wanted a new pedal that was reliable and robust to add to my ever increasing pedal lineup. After seeing this pedal on the Andertons YT channel I decided to buy one. The pedal is Chinese so I guess Fender cannot make these pedals in the States which is sad and just the way things are these days. Anyway, the pedal is well made and looks the part, the range of distortion it can produce through the two distortion engines is brilliant. The battery door is spring loaded, which makes it easy to change dud batteries for new ones. I also like the led lit control knobs (which can be turned off if needs be), the main problem with the pedal is the jewel on/off lights are a little too bright, which makes it very difficult to see the main controls. Overal, I'm glad I bought this pedal and have also purchased the Marine Layer Reverb pedal to go with it. From the Fender instruction booklet: "Thanks for purchasing the Pugilist Distortion, a flexible distortion pedal with a wealth of tones. The Pugilist is somewhat unusual in that it features two separate distortion engines A&B that can be blended together or stacked in series for extreme gain. Each distortion engine can be adjusted with its own gain and tone settings, so that a cleaner tone can be blended with a much more distorted sound (the benefit being that the cleaner tone adds clarity and articulation to the overall sound). Also, blending two high gain tones can increase richness and complexity compared to a single-only-distortion sound. The pugilist features simple wide-ranging tone controls that let it work well with a variety of amp types". Up to now everything seems to be as claimed for this pedal from Chinese Fender.
