Fender Pugilist V2 Distortion Effects Pedal (NEW)

The Pugilist V2 offers exceptional versatility in a rugged aluminium chassis, delivering two independent distortion engines for unmatched tonal flexibility. Each engine is equipped with dedicated Gain, Tone, and Level controls, allowing you to precisely shape sounds ranging from sharp, trebly leads to thick, saturated distortion with ease.

Main Features

  • Dual Independent Distortion Circuits
    Each circuit activates via its own footswitch with separate Gain, Tone, and Level controls, providing distinctive and versatile distortion options.

  • Three Signal Path Modes
    Select between Series, Parallel, or individual paths with the Path switch to create complex cascading or blended distortion textures tailored to your style.

  • Comprehensive Tone-Shaping
    Bass Boost and Mid Cut switches enable refined tonal balance and rich harmonic saturation for powerful, professional sound.

  • Flexible Footswitch Operation
    Multiswitch footswitches support both momentary and latching modes to adapt seamlessly to dynamic live or studio performances.

  • Bypass Configurations
    Choose true bypass or buffered bypass with a simple rear switch. Relay-based auto-bypass protects your tone when the pedal is unpowered.

  • Robust Build and Practical Layout
    Top-mounted jacks and a sturdy aluminium enclosure ensure durability and practical connectivity on the road.

  • Power Supply
    Powered by a 9V centre-negative AC adaptor (not included).

The Pugilist V2’s intelligent design allows easy stacking or blending of distortion engines, producing complex, harmonically rich overdrive that responds expressively to your playing. Perfect for guitarists who demand a powerful, flexible distortion pedal for both stage and studio use.
