One of Chappers Favourites

One of Rob Chapmans favourite drive pedals in a huge blindfold challenge from TV! Check out the video below to see how well this brilliant overdrive pedal did.

The Fender Pugilist is a fire-breathing distortion and drive pedal. It's an original design with dual gain engines that can be combined to give you tons of sustain and distortion when needed. 

Versatile

The blend allows you to dial both gain engines in together and come up with a unique sound with a separate gain and tone control for each. This helps you go from rhythm distortion tones to fat, saturated lead tones with ease. 

The bass boost is also useful for making the most of your humbucking or single coil pickups. If you need to dial some bass in for your single coils or pull the bass out if you want more clarity from your humbuckers.

Here's what Fender say about the Pugilist Distortion Pedal:

Fiery sounding and flexible, the Pugilist Distortion is ready to add some heavyweight gain to your rig. This original design features dual gain engines—with independent tone controls for each—letting you select multiple variations of distortion, ensuring this pedal will play well with any rig. Series/Blend switch lets you stack channels for thick, cascading distortion, while the Bass Boost switch fattens up your tone. The Blend control mixes the two channels to get the best of both worlds, crafting a sound just for you.

Designed by our in-house team of experts, the Pugilist Distortion is an all-original circuit. We consulted with a plethora of players while designing this pedal, and the resulting stompbox is packed with stage-ready features. The chassis is crafted from lightweight, durable anodized alumin􀁌um, and the Amp Jewel LED gives your pedalboard the classic Fender look.

The LED-backlit knobs show your control settings on a dark stage at a glance. We even made swapping batteries quicker and easier with our exclusive “patent applied for”, magnetically latched 9V battery door.

Ranging from brutal to subtle, the Pugilist Distortion can satisfy all your distortion needs.

Distortion Pedals

Distortion pedals create a heavier, more aggressive gain sound than most overdrive pedals, giving guitarists the sustain, bite and saturation needed for rock, punk, metal and hard-hitting lead tones. They can turn a clean amp into a high-gain platform or add an extra layer of intensity to an already driven sound.

Some distortion pedals are tight and modern, while others are raw, fizzy or vintage-inspired. Choosing the right one depends on whether you want chunky rhythm tones, singing sustain, scooped metal sounds or a classic hard-rock voice with plenty of attack.

Distortion

Distortion pedals and related effects are commonly used by guitarists looking to shape their tone in a more focused and creative way. Different designs offer their own response, feel and tonal character depending on the style of music and the type of amplifier or guitar being used.

Many players build pedalboards gradually over time, combining different effects and utilities to create a setup that suits their own sound and workflow. Distortion related gear can play an important role in both live performance and studio recording.
