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.44% — somewhat different

The Fender Shields Blender is a signature fuzz pedal created in collaboration with Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine, hand-traced from Shields's personal vintage 1970s Fender Blender fuzz unit. Expanded from the original single-knob circuit to a comprehensive eight-knob, four-footswitch design, it provides extensive independent control over the sub-octave, fuzz, and direct signal blending that defines the original Fender Blender character. Used by Shields for the dense, layered shoegaze fuzz tones on My Bloody Valentine recordings, the pedal is particularly associated with tremolo arm-manipulated sustained fuzz textures in the shoegaze and noise rock genre.
The Keeley Octa Psi is an octave fuzz pedal from Keeley Electronics delivering upper and lower octave fuzz saturation with a psychedelic, synth-like character suited to experimental, psychedelic rock, and progressive playing contexts. The octave fuzz circuit produces harmonically layered saturation with octave overtones that add a complex, otherworldly quality to guitar tones. Keeley's American production quality underpins the Octa Psi's circuit design.
