Step into the ring with this one-two punch
distortion pedal. The Duel Pugilist Distortion
features the same distortion voicings found in our
popular Pugilist pedal, but with new combina-
tions designed to deliver a knockout. It offers
three operating modes: Series, Mute and Parallel.
Series mode lets you stack both distortions as you
would two separate pedals. Bypass mode lets
you blend two different distortions, or a clean
sound with a distorted sound. Mute mode offers
one distortion to create your main tone, with an
additional distortion layered on top for added
richness and complexity.
Designed by our in-house team of experts, the
Duel Pugilist Distortion is an all-original Fender
circuit. The chassis is crafted from lightweight,
durable anodized aluminum, and the LED-backlit
knobs easily show your control settings at a
glance on dark stages.
