Description

Launched amid the creative explosion of the early 1970s, the Fender Blender Fuzz Pedal, in its original 1974 version, embodies the sonic audacity of an era when guitarists sought to experiment with ever more textures and saturation.Designed by Fender to compete with popular fuzz pedals of the time such as Electro-Harmonix's Big Muff and Sola Sound's Tone Bender, the Blender stood out for its unique approach to mixed signals.Its initial production run was fairly short (from 1968 to around 1977), making it a rare and coveted item on the vintage market today.It was used by musicians from the psychedelic and experimental scenes, and more recently brought back into the spotlight by artists such as Billy Corgan (The Smashing Pumpkins), who used it to sculpt some of his most abrasive sounds.Technical specifications:Circuit type: 100% transistorized analog Controls:Volume (general output control)Sustain (distortion intensity)Tone Boost (accentuates treble or bass depending on the setting)Blend (mixes the fuzz signal with the clean signal)Footswitches:1 to activate/deactivate the fuzz1 to activate the Tone BoostGeneral:Input/Output: 6.35 mm mono jackPower supply: 9V battery (no AC connector on original models)Case: sturdy metal chassis, typical 1970s designManufacturing: Made in the USA, original Fender circuitIn terms of sound, the Fender Blender offers a massive, sharp, and rough fuzz, bordering on controlled feedback, with very pronounced sustain and accentuated mids and highs that easily cut through a mix.Its Blend circuit provides a clear and defined attack while maintaining an aggressive saturated background, making it ideal for expressive leads or cutting rhythms.Unlike other fuzz pedals with a “wrapped” sound, the Blender is rather raw, direct, and deliberately untamed.It excels in psychedelic, noise rock, shoegaze, and garage styles, and remains one of the few vintage effects with such a distinctive sound personality.
