Two distortion engines and a huge sonic range with the FENDER PUGILIST V2 DISTORTION

The FENDER PUGILIST V2 DISTORTION is an electric guitar distortion pedal that integrates two completely independent distortion circuits within a single pedal. Each engine has its own Gain, Tone, and Level controls, as well as a dedicated footswitch, allowing you to use two different sounds separately or combine them to achieve much more complex saturation levels.

Engine A is aimed at a brighter and more defined distortion, especially effective for solos, while Engine B provides a thicker, heavier, and more powerful character. Its Path selector allows you to combine both circuits in different ways, making the Pugilist V2 an especially versatile tool for rock, hard rock, alternative, and high-gain styles.

Key features of the FENDER PUGILIST V2 DISTORTION

Two independent distortion circuits in a single pedal

Individual Gain, Tone, and Level controls for each engine

Path selector with different ways to stack or combine the two distortions

Bass Boost and Mid Cut to expand equalization possibilities

Selectable True Bypass and Buffered Bypass

What makes the FENDER PUGILIST V2 DISTORTION special?

The great advantage of the Pugilist V2 lies in the interaction between its two engines. In series modes, one circuit feeds the other, allowing you to create cascading layers of gain similar to working with different channels of an amplifier or with two stacked drive pedals. In parallel, both circuits operate simultaneously and can be balanced using their level controls to mix definition and power.

The global Bass Boost and Mid Cut switches allow you to further shape the pedal's response. In addition, the footswitches support conventional or momentary operation, and it is possible to select between true bypass and buffered bypass from the rear panel.

Two independent distortions, multiple ways to combine them, and a huge gain range in a single pedal.
