Fender Classic Fuzz Wah Reissue Pedal

Fender Classic Fuzz Wah Reissue Pedal There are few Fender products with as much “indie cred” as the Fender Blender. Once thought of as an overly harsh fuzz pedal, the Blender, thanks to players like Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins and Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine, is now a coveted, and rare, vintage pedal. Original Blender pedals routinely sell on auction sites for between $300-400. Like Fender has done with some of their guitars and amps, they have reissued this pedal to satisfy the demand that has surged past the supply on the vintage market.
The beauty of this pedal is that it does not sound like anything else on the market. It has a totally unique voice. This is a pedal made for players who want to create unique instead of copy.

Also good for Bass guitar

With a bit of experimentation, a player can get countless sounds out of this pedal, some that were intended and some that were not.The Blender can be used for leads by metal players looking for an ultra-aggressive tone. Fender claims this pedal “will replace other Octave/Fuzz pedals on pedalboards throughout the land.”
