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.38% — somewhat different

Pigtronix is an American effects company producing unique, creative effects pedals with distinctive circuit designs. Their fuzz designs combine classic fuzz circuitry with Pigtronix's characteristic creative approach.
The Suhr Rufus Reloaded is a versatile fuzz that behaves as much like an overdrive or distortion as a traditional fuzz, staying clean and transparent where most fuzzes turn harsh at high gain. The fuzz control sweeps a wide tonal range, from historic late-1960s fuzz voices through to the thicker, more aggressive grunge-era sounds. A full three-band EQ shapes the output without compromising the underlying guitar and amp tone, which is unusual for the format. The Reloaded edition adds an extremely dynamic and tactile octave-up mode, selected on the fly by holding the multi-function footswitch to switch between Normal and Octave voices mid-performance. Works on guitar or bass, and is considerably more versatile than a typical fuzz.
