Classic analogue silicon fuzz
The Aguilar APFZ2 Fuzzistor II is built around a fully analogue silicon transistor circuit, delivering authentic vintage fuzz tones with a distinctive character. Unlike digital emulations, this circuit offers an organic, responsive feel that reacts dynamically to your playing. From rich, warm saturation to aggressive, snarling textures, the Fuzzistor II captures the essence of classic fuzz while ensuring that your bass retains its depth and clarity. It’s designed specifically for bass frequencies, so you won’t lose that all-important low-end punch that often gets sacrificed with generic fuzz pedals.
Blend control for tonal clarity
One of the standout features of the Fuzzistor II is its versatile Blend control, which allows you to mix your clean bass signal with the fuzz effect. This is crucial for maintaining definition and punch, especially when playing live or in a dense mix. Rather than completely colouring your tone, the Blend control lets you preserve the articulation of your original signal while adding just the right amount of fuzz. It’s great if you want to keep your sound grounded while layering in more aggressive or experimental textures.
Intuitive tone shaping
The Fuzzistor II’s Tone control is a tilt EQ that offers a unique and intuitive way to shape your fuzz sound. Unlike traditional tone knobs, which often just roll off highs or lows, the tilt EQ shifts the entire EQ balance either towards a boomier low-end or a more gnarly, aggressive high-end. This gives you access to a wide spectrum of tonal possibilities, making the pedal suitable for many genres and playing styles. You can easily go from smooth, vintage-style warmth to edgy, modern grit with just a quick tweak of a dial.
Compact, gig-ready design
Designed with practicality in mind, the Fuzzistor II comes in a compact and road-tough enclosure that’s perfect for any pedalboard. It features a top-mounted footswitch for reliable operation and runs on a standard 9-volt power supply, making it easy to integrate into your existing setup. Its small footprint means it won’t take up valuable space, while its rugged build ensures it can handle the demands of regular gigging and touring. With user-friendly controls and bulletproof construction, the Fuzzistor II is built to deliver consistent performance.
