Fender Pugilist Distortion v2

Two independent distortion circuits in one enclosure, the Pugilist V2 delivers a broad range of gain tones—from treble-rich lead drive to thick, heavier distortion. Engine A and Engine B each have dedicated Gain, Tone and Level controls, along with their own footswitch, allowing either circuit to be used independently or combined for more complex stacked sounds.

The Path switch routes the two engines through three different signal paths. Two Series modes cascade one circuit into the other for layered, amp-channel-style gain staging, while Parallel mode runs both circuits side by side. In Parallel mode, the individual Level controls can be used to blend the two voices for a balance of articulate drive and chunky distortion.

Global Bass Boost and Mid Cut switches provide additional overall tone shaping, while rear-panel switching allows selection between true bypass and buffered bypass. The relay-based auto-bypass function passes signal when power is disconnected.
