The Crazy Tube Circuits Ziggy V2 is the updated version of the Greek boutique builder's MOSFET-cascaded overdrive pedal, voiced to blend the tonal character of two British amplifiers. The Ziggy uses cascaded MOSFET gain stages to deliver warm, organic overdrive with excellent pick sensitivity and touch response, combining the voicing of British amp midrange character with a simple three-control layout of Volume, Tone, and Gain. Backing off the pick attack yields clean but lightly overdriven tones. Suited for blues, indie, and classic rock players wanting British amp-inspired overdrive character.
The Fender Pugilist Distortion is a MOSFET distortion pedal from Fender featuring a blend control that mixes the dry clean guitar signal with the distorted signal for a layered, articulate distortion character that retains note clarity under heavy drive. The MOSFET clipping stage produces a dynamic, harmonically rich distortion that cleans up well with guitar volume, and the clean blend control allows the fundamental note attack to cut through the distortion for a more defined sound under extreme gain. Guitar World noted the Pugilist as having a tactile, full-bodied feel with excellent note clarity.
