NEW NON LIMITED VERSION NOW AVAILABLE
The Fender Shields Blender is a collaboration between Fender and My Bloody Valentine’s Kevin Shields. The limited edition fuzz pedal is final assembled in the USA and comes with a limited print art box, limited print hand signed collector’s booklet with an exclusive story and photos, and a plaque bearing Shields' signature.
A pivotal influence on effect-laden guitar tones, Kevin Shields created sonic walls of fuzz and defined the tone of alternative rock in the ‘80s and ‘90s. His tool of choice for fuzzy chaos was an original Fender Blender effect pedal, prized for its dynamic response and gripping fuzz splatter. Now, through over four years of co-development, Fender and Shields have resurrected this 1970s fuzz and injected a subversive feature set, creating the all-new Fender Shields Blender.
The Shields Blender echoes the tone of Shields' own vintage 1970s Fender Blender, thanks to carefully hand tracing the circuit from his personal fuzz box.
Built around this vintage circuit are completely new ways of controlling and blending the original fuzz voice, all crafted with performance in mind utilising four easy-access footswitches.
Two footswitchable channels of fuzz, each with dedicated level controls, offer the ability to blend the fuzz voice with your clean signal or to blend the fuzz voice with a beefy suboctave fuzz, while the sag footswitch introduces sputtering and ducking effects, all controlled by the intensity of your playing dynamics.
Features:
- Original vintage Fender circuit combined with a new control set
- Two channels and three octaves of blendable, analogue fuzz tones
- Footswitchable, reactive voltage sag circuit controlled by picking dynamics
- Custom 1970s inspired enclosure with top-mounted jacks
- True-bypass switching
- Powered by 9-Volt Battery or centre negative AC adaptor (not included)
