Description
The Wampler Velvet Fuzz Pedal offer classic fuzz features, as well as the option to tame it and bring it back under control with the two fuzz mode options. Unlike recent models, the 2016 upgraded version includes relay style soft switches that are considerably more reliable and hardwearing compared to the original. Another new improvement in the jack inputs, which are now located at the top of the unit, minimising space on your pedalboard. Complete with upgraded graphics, this is the ultimate pedal for achieving a classic fuzz effect and more.
With all the character, power, and tone of a classic fuzz – the Velvet offers all this AND the option to tame the beast and bring it back under control.
Looking back through history of great fuzz tone, there have been some truly outstanding examples – in particular, the tones that have been achieved by running a fuzz into a screaming stack. The kind of tones that are just earth shattering in their depth, aggression and smoothness.
We took the base tones from a very famous Wampler Pedal (one that has the characteristics of a famous stacked, EL34 driven, amp) and decided this was the best foundation to build the perfect fuzz and deliver it in a unit that sounds as good as it feels powerful.
With two completely different clipping options (not just the basic silicon or germanium option like most) you can achieve those classic fuzz big tones that compresses massively across the bottom or you can tighten them up and have it respond more like a distortion. With this you get all of the tone with none of the side effects. Some people say it sounds like a fuzz but feels like a distortion, so yes, you CAN have the best of both worlds.
If you are a fan of the tones of the players like David Gilmour or Eric Johnson (and let’s face it, who isn’t), then it could be that the Velvet Fuzz is the pedal you are looking for. Welcome to a new world of thick as a brick, wall crumbling and window shattering fuzz. Velvet Fuzz.
A New and Improved Version
The Wampler Velvet Fuzz Pedal features new improvements for 2016. As with its original model, the velvet fuzz is provides all the classic fuzz tone that you would expect, but now includes relay soft style switches that offer more durability than before. The unit also features high grade film capacitors and resistors which are especially picked for their superior sound and response. The pedal is also switchable between two completely independent clipping circuits, pure fuzz or a fuzz like distortion. All these great modifications are housed in a contemporary metal unit with elegant graphics.
