Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.49% — somewhat different

The Fender Blender is a vintage-circuit octave fuzz reissue from Fender, originally introduced in the early 1970s, combining a raw fuzz circuit with an upper-octave harmonic generator and a clean blend control that allows mixing the effected signal with the dry guitar tone. The blending of clean signal with fuzz and octave harmonic creates a complex, layered texture suited to heavy rock, shoegaze, and psychedelic applications where the combination of clean definition and fuzz saturation is the goal. My Bloody Valentine guitarist Kevin Shields is closely associated with the Fender Blender, using it for the dense, layered tone of the band.
The Fulltone OF-2 Octafuzz is the revised version of Fulltone founder Mike Fuller's take on the Octavia circuit Roger Mayer built for Jimi Hendrix, generating an octave above the played note layered over fuzz. Fulltone built its reputation on faithful, boutique reproductions of classic circuits with modern reliability, and the OF-2 updates the original OF-1 while keeping that lineage. It suits classic rock and psychedelic players wanting Octavia-derived octave fuzz from an American boutique maker.
