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.

Orange light wouldn't work initially, by fiddling around it eventually worked, other than that have found it to be a good pedal that gives me the sound I was looking for

Awesome sounding pedal!!!! Massive amounts of gain on tap (it you like that sort of thing). Switchable LEDs are a handy addition and look cool when switched on!

Brilliant high distortion pedal. Options of 2 separate distortions, a blended mix of the 2 or both running simultaneously. Bass boost switch is brilliant for playing through single coils, allowing it to suit both hums and singles. The only gripe is that there isn't a foot switching option to run both channels in series.

The sound produced is very clear and it works well with other pedals on the board. For the price it's an excellent piece of kit.

A steal at this price. A great and very versatile distortion pedal. With the 2 gain stages and option to run the stages in series or blend them. The LEDs make the knob levels very easy to read and can be turned off if required.

Trusted Customer3rd Nov 2019

Very versatile drive pedal. I set it up with light crunch on A and heavy distortion on B. Can cover a lot of sounds and easy to find a sweet spot. Looks great and is excellent value for money. Slight criticism is the stomp button. Not very smooth when turning on/off
