Fender The Pelt Fuzz V2
The Fender The Pelt Fuzz V2 is a highly versatile analogue fuzz pedal designed for guitarists and bassists who want far more than traditional fuzz tones. Built around silicon transistor circuitry, it delivers everything from smooth vintage-inspired sustain to aggressive octave fuzz, glitchy gated textures and walls of harmonically rich saturation.
Unlike many classic fuzz pedals, The Pelt V2 offers an exceptional level of tonal control. Advanced shaping features including Bloom, Sag, Blend, Mids and Thick controls allow players to fine-tune the pedal's response, compression and EQ, while dedicated Octave and Chaos modes unlock everything from classic octave-up sounds to unpredictable sputtering fuzz textures.
Whether you're building a modern pedalboard, recording experimental soundscapes or chasing vintage-inspired fuzz tones with contemporary flexibility, The Pelt Fuzz V2 offers one of the most comprehensive fuzz platforms available.

Why Choose The Fender The Pelt Fuzz V2?
Huge Range of Fuzz Sounds
From vintage-inspired sustain to modern gated fuzz, octave effects and experimental textures, The Pelt V2 covers an enormous range of fuzz tones in a single compact pedal.
Bloom & Sag Controls
The unique Bloom and Sag controls allow players to adjust the pedal's response and compression, changing how notes bloom, decay and break apart. This level of control makes it easy to tailor the pedal for everything from smooth sustain to aggressive splatter.
Octave & Chaos Modes
The dedicated secondary footswitch activates either a classic octave-up effect or the unique Chaos mode, introducing asymmetrical octave artefacts and glitch-style textures for truly original sounds.
Blend Control for Guitar & Bass
The onboard Blend control allows you to mix clean and effected signals together, preserving low-end definition on bass or adding clarity when stacking overdrive and fuzz on guitar.
Advanced EQ Shaping
Dedicated Mids and Thick switches let you quickly reshape the pedal's character, boosting midrange presence or adding extra low-end weight to suit different amplifiers, guitars and musical styles.
Modern Professional Features
Buffered or true bypass operation, relay-based auto bypass, multiswitch functionality and top-mounted jacks make The Pelt V2 an ideal addition to modern pedalboards.
