Fender Angry Fuzz
Fender · pedal
The Fender Angry Fuzz is a silicon transistor fuzz pedal from Fender, part of their Hammertone series, delivering a buzzy, aggressive fuzz character with wide Fuzz and Tone controls and a voice switch that shifts the frequency emphasis of the fuzz texture. The Angry Fuzz uses silicon transistors to produce a bright, sharp fuzz character suited to hard rock, grunge, and heavy alternative contexts where an edgier, more aggressive fuzz texture is the goal. The voice switch adds versatility by toggling between two distinct frequency profiles within the same silicon fuzz circuit.
