Some really negative comments in here - I don't get it. That's an absolutely thunderous pedal. Gina's a great choice to demo, and even by itself it sounds great. Stack in on a board with a boost and a bit of chorus and reverb, and it will be killer.
bthalko what if youre looking for fuzz sustain like gilmour? Itll do that too. I like her demos but her sound is so heavy. I love my other fender new pedals but maybe i should go with a big muff?
Wow! You love fuzz! Welp, that means you’re a natural authority! NOT! It’s not a great pedal... And if you think it is, you need to get ‘‘edgumicated’ on fuzz!
got this today. its beautiful when its dialed back, then i put my LTD with Het active EMGs and crabked it , it was a different beast. these new fender pedals are great quality too
Super rad. The dynamic range of fuzz on this is amazing. I hadn’t heard of this pedal until just last night, stumbled across the trapper and was excited which led me to the pelt. I prefer this one though both are great sounding. As far as a traditional fuzz this one really gets it. That playing was killer and a great show for the sounds you can get from this fuzz. Some pedals become an influence of how you play and some help shape a sound but I feel like one does both. So bad ass. I was trying to save for a motorcycle but I might have to dip into that fund for this pedal.
Her band is one of my favorites, but she hasn't appeared on any recordings yet, as she only just recently replaced their former guitarist that was on the last 3 albums.
Just snagged my forever Fender (Troy Van Leeuwen Oxblood jazzmaster) and now looking for a versatile fuzz to pair with it... loved her play style, nice mix between low rhythmic picking and riffs. Wish it was longer to hear all the tones!
Dear guitar peeps, This is an AWESOME device. It's super versatile and those sounds are extremely fat, massive and badass! Considering the price tag it is beyond both superior and sublime.
Well, it's an interesting pedal, and it has a distinctive voice and a lot of tone shaping options. I'm just not sure whether I like any of the sounds it makes. Something of an acquired taste.
This is so tough for me - I love these tones, and the classic vibe of the JM through a Princeton.... but I play technical death metal mostly, and it just doesn't work for that. I need to form another band!
Metallica realised they needed melodic versatility in their arsenal... jazzmasters provide SO many tonal options especially with pedals... even if they help with your creativity with songwriting when you're at home relaxing and just noodling around, you don't have to play it in the band necessarily although you might end up doing so! Troy Van Leeuwen from Perfect Circle used one to create some amazing riffs and atmosphere in Perfect Circle. Dabbling in other genres of music can always open your mind creatively to new ideas and that's never bad 🤘
You might be waiting a while.Even in the world of fuzz, the FB is at an extreme end , like the Harmonic Percolator, - an acquired taste that never caught on.It's limited use by a few well known, commercial, acts probably wouldn't warrant the sales numbers.But who knows, - Fender isn't a pedal company.
I keep coming back to this pedal, I want it but I really don't need another fuzz. I use the Hoof, but while the Hoof has good mid control, it doesn't the velcro sound that the Pelt has... But, whatever. I don't need another fuzz.
Perhaps shoegaze but certainly not for doom, at any rate not according to what I hear from this video, sounds awfull to me, absolutely no low end, very weak mids, not AT ALL for doom !
@@stephane406 I use it for doom it may not work for you but it certainly works for me I use it at same time as other fuzz pedals and it pushes their sound perfectly
@@TheTaxidermyfish there was nothing personal, just saw a classified ad, and as I'm a fuzz fan I came here to hear about the way it sounds and was very disappointed with what I've heard here ...
I feel like fender could do better demos. Like one where you actually get to hear all of the parameters and features.. which is the whole point of a demo. And I doubt I’m alone here. These fender videos are just hipsters using old, tired, used up buzzwords and terms like transparent, colored, velcroey, growly, splattery, saturated, etc... and trying to explain how it sounds instead of just playing it and letting us hear. The chick running through a few licks just doesn’t cut it. I want to see Andy from Reverb demo this pedal. Otherwise, great work from Fender on the pedals! I really dig em!
I have never heard a silicon fuzz that I liked, so I patiently observed this entire video. I still have never heard a silicon fuzz that I liked. This one sounds like experiments we abandoned in the 1980s.
right, I feel like this is gonna be a stupid question, but how do I get the accurate tone from my amp without leaning it against something ? can't seem to get it right. always so bassy. I see these videos and just wonder how they get a good tone without leaning the amp
On the videos, you're not hearing the sound of the amp in the room - you're hearing a produced version, probably a mixture of room and direct. If you're having trouble with excessive bass, try moving your amp away from any walls - particularly from any corners - and lift the amp off the floor by standing it on something stable. if necessary, decouple the stand from the floor by putting a rug under it. Also - and this may sound stupid, but bear with me - try to stand further away from your amp, so that you're hearing something closer to what an audience would hear. Guitar amps aren't really designed to be heard from a couple of feet away and above, as your ears would be if you were sitting in a chair alongside your amp. Some of them 'beam' treble forwards in a relatively tight cone, and if you're outside that cone, that can change the sound you hear quite drastically. (That's one of the reasons that 'leaning' the amp can seem to help. Raising the amp off the floor has something of the same effect.) If none of that helps, try an EQ pedal. Experiment with reducing frequencies you think are excessively loud.
@@ianhakim3072 I was being a but of a cheekster before but yes, what you're hearing is coming directly out of the amp and into the mic right in front of it. There's no way to avoid leaning your amp if you're right in front of it and wanna hear the "whole" sound but a big part of setting up your amp is finding the right part of the room to put it in and then setting it up to suit the room accordingly, or adjusting the room to suit it specifically. In these types of videos the size of the cabinet and speaker make a big difference too; generally speaking a small 8" or 10" speaker in a combo amp is gonna sound much more directional than a big 4x12" cab with a head plugged in, pumping out massive volume into the whole room
Fripp has said repeatedly that he could have used almost any Fuzz , and the Buzzaround he often used is high gain, and not unlike a common Big Muff....
I really don't understand why in almost every OD, distortion, or fuzz pedal (or any other type pedal for that matter) review the demonstrator doesn't run through the full range of the effect. In this video the fuzz control was never below 50%. What happened to the 0 - 50% range ? WTF ? This is an incomplete "demo". I would expect more from Fender.
According to what I've heard in other videos, it's just a (not very good) overdrive until the 3/4 on fuzz button, and above it's a (not very good) fuzz. Some sounds are good, but you it seems you need hours to find them.
Either your speakers suck or it’s not your type. Or it could be you’re one of those duffers that sticks an amp in the corner of a small room with plates on the wall and then writes a bad review about the amp.
It's amazing how subjective fuzz is.. to my ear this is one of the worst I have ever heard.. sounds muddy and undefined to me.. maybe it sounds better in room.
MCenigma The whole concept of fuzz was around broken amps. The first distortion ever used in the 50s was from an amp that was dropped so it became distorted and glitchy
Kids buy guitars because they want to be John Mayer-ie shred some funky blues rock- not dirge out playing this two finger shoe gaze noise. The Fender marketing department just keeps jumping the shark but I guess they can because Leo’s original design and the hands of Jimi, Jeff, Stevie, Rory, Knopfler, Yngwie made it the greatest product ever. At least get Mateus Asato, Cory Wong or one of the cool new younger players on board Fender. They can play and I’m sure even the hipsters, soy boys and SJWs that have apparently infiltrated the Fender marketing dept can dig it.
I don't even know where to begin with this. But these types of conservative attitudes are partly why guitar culture and "guitar heroes" are dying out so quickly.
a h Dying? Oh no, I think not: Mateus Asato, John Mayer, Guthrie Govan, Tosin Abasi, the era of guitar ‘hero’ is alive and well and undergoing a resurgence of musical and technical skill I’m afraid. It’s one of the few remaining 99% Male dominance/competence hierarchies. You need to swallow a red pill and watch some Jordan Peterson and grow a pair you liberal snowflake rapscallion!
@@vladjones2446 There's a reason that most people, especially younger people have no idea who any of those people are. The days of Hendrix, Page, etc are done. Soon you'll be in your old-folks home jamming out some Mayer licks with your fellow residents, and talking about how cool guitar culture is. Have fun with your Les Paul and your bedpan.

It took literally 2 seconds to convince me to get this pedal. It sounds massive and and clear.
Got this a couple days ago. One of the coolest fuzzes and super useable in a lot of situations. DOOM MFERS
Great demo. What an amazing guitar player. She’s got a really interesting style. Love it.
Her band is one of my favorites, but she hasn't appeared on any recordings yet, as she only just recently replaced their former guitarist that was on the last 3 albums.
Pete Adams. Go listen to Valkyrie. Baroness’s old stuff still rules but the new shit is shit. No balls.

She killed it right there! :D Yeah! What a fab fuzz box!
This pedal is so underrated
Dear guitar peeps,
This is an AWESOME device. It's super versatile and those sounds are extremely fat, massive and badass! Considering the price tag it is beyond both superior and sublime.
I played one of these at summer NAMM, it’s a super versatile fuzz pedal and am planning to eventually buy one!
Pedal sounds great. Gina is a fantastic player. Good stuff.
Great guitar playing! Makes me want to check out a jazzmaster.
Great pedal- been PELTing all afternoon.
O my

Uhhh burzum? Cmon dude black metal is a versatile genre in itself. Get that fuzz! (Or start a stoner band with me haha)
Yes,~ you should.Why so limit yourself?

Great tone.
Gina rules.

Sounds like Mastodon
Blake J well baroness and mastodon are from the same part of the south
I came onto thus video just looking for this comment hoping someoneeke heard it
I think you're talking about the beginning of the video, it plays like mastodon but for me it doesn't sound at all like mastodon.
Good sound
Strict leda ladies on video
Is it true bypass?
Girl is awesome artist Guitarist.
Fuzz пререгруз, то что нужно для современного творчества.
Bass demo?
I really expected the other side of her head to be shaved 😂
Hey fender this pedal has been out for weeks now. You need to get it in the hands of some UA-cam demo pro's.
Does it doom?
What Kin row.!!!!
Very Fuzzy Sounding .. Cool

The ones I play, usually have some wooden pieces to them too
@@adamhovey407 😎
I
cool
Sounds like a broken amp of mine. That’s a fender too 😂
That's litteraly what a fuzz pedal tries to emulate....
Beedji - don’t need to buy one then, do I?
Well if your broken amp sounds better than that pedal, and if you like the sound of it. That would be weird otherwise.
Beedji - maybe a double broken amp sound would sound awesome. Two negatives making a positive and all that haha
Maybe ? I mean, that's how the Kinks got their guitar sound :)
Velcro? Doesn't that just make a sort of FFRRRIIIPPP sound?
Fripp has said repeatedly that he could have used almost any Fuzz , and the Buzzaround he often used is high gain, and not unlike a common Big Muff....
I didn't expect the girl voice
ikr 😂😂
Me either. 😂😂🤣
Lol, I didn't know people still played guitar. So, dated. It's all about beatboxing whilst playing a recorder at the same time. That's real talent!
Wat
@@solsinclair1909 Never recordered?
Happy trolling-
Best sounding part is when you turned the pedal off (2:57 to 3:04)
you better put it on amp drive channel
Gina, I would rock some fuzz w you any day. We have a very similar style. Everything is this video is killer. Love it

Too much reverb on the amp, too much playing on the guitar, miking too far. In the end I couldn't hear the pedal. Or is it just me?
Too much everything, just give me a silent video.

I thought she said from the band Bareness! :)
I only buy the best fuzzes
I see Skrillex has taken up the guitar now
