Two switchable channels of fuzzWhile 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!Tweed-inspired reactive Sag circuitAn all-new addition to the Fender Blender formula is the Shield Blender’s reactive sag circuit, a chaotic control supplying an explosion of sputtering distortion. How does it work? Cranking up the Sag circuit starves the transistors of power, mimicking the much-sought-after tube rectifier sag found in Fender’s classic tweed-era amplifiers. When testing the Shields Blender out at Sweetwater, we were stunned by how dynamic and reactive this effect is — even subtle shifts in pick placement and attack result in drastically different tones.Fender Shields Blender Fuzz Pedal Features:Based on the personal Fender Blender Fuzz of Kevin Shields — leader of My Bloody Valentine and arguably shoegaze’s most influential guitaristFender's very first signature fuzz pedalCircuit hand-traced from Kevin’s original pedal for the utmost sonic authenticityOffers all the tones of an original 1970s Fender Blender, with the addition of a greatly expanded control section and enhanced sonic optionsDouble the footswitches and double the knobs of the original pedal2-channel design swaps between a deep octave fuzz and a dry/wet blendEach channel sports dedicated controls, allowing you to craft two drastically different fuzz tones to swap betweenExceptionally Dynamic Sag circuit captures the wild and touch-sensitive feel of traditional tube-rectifier-style sagHeavy-duty angled brush aluminum chassis with vinyl appointments, inspired by the suave 1970s style of the original Fender BlenderTrue bypass switching to keep your tone clear when the pedal is turned offCan be powered by a 9V battery or an optional power adapter
