Fender Duel Pugilist Distortion

The Fender Duel Pugilist Distortion builds on the foundation of the original Pugilist distortion pedal, now coming with three operating modes and 2-band master shaving EQ. Featuring the same heavy-duty anodised chassis as the other pedals in Fender’s range, the Duel Pugilist is also a unique Fender circuit design, representing the company’s take on a popular effect.

The Fender Duel Pugilist Distortion Pedal is now available from Merchant City Music, Glasgow's longest-established guitar specialist. We ship fast to the UK, Europe and worldwide.

Fender Duel Pugilist Distortion - Three Operating Modes for Ultimate Creativity

Step into the ring with this one-two punch distortion pedal. The Duel Pugilist features the same distortion voicings found in Fender’s popular Pugilist pedal, but with new combinations designed for a knockout. The Fender Duel Pugilist offers three operating modes: Series, Mute and Parallel.

Series mode allows stacking the two distortions as you would two separate pedals, while Bypass mode allows blending two different distortions, or a clean sound with a distorted sound. Mute mode offers the ability to use one distortion to create your main tone, and then layer an additional distortion sound on top for added richness and complexity. Also features an added 2-band master shelving EQ.

Designed by Fender’s in-house tone gurus, the Duel Pugilist is an all-original Fender circuit. The chassis is crafted from lightweight, durable anodised aluminium, and the LED-backlit knobs show your control settings on a dark stage at a glance.
