First Look: Fender Pugilist Distortion Pedal

[@andresdavidloeraleyva3767]

First fender distortion that i like

[@aquaboneus]

man that's a good lookin tele! I've got the Pugilist and it is nice indeed...

[@StuartHerbert]

That was a seriously thick and meaty tone, just from a Telecaster!

[@ruiseartalcorn]

"Just" from a Telecaster? Hmmm... In the right hands, Teles can be GREAT rock guitars!

[@josephmitchell6112]

I’m in a doom band and play a tele. Don’t sleep on Fender.

[@MrFrampo56]

I’ve got a Tele, an ‘8502’ and it’s very versatile. Lovely to play too. It’s not solely a country pickers guitar ... or a Status Quo only one ! Lol.

[@tylergadberry2540]

Right at 4:06 are you playing Devildriver? It sounds like a riff they play. Just picked this pedal up today. Very good, solid distortion. Sounds good through my Randall RG80es on a G&L Ascari with Will Adler Fishman Fluence

[@k.yhk8274]

Wow love the riffs intro👌👌

[@MYKESKATE]

Excelente video, me encanto el review . Good Job. 🔥🔥🙌

[@TheG7thcapo]

Makes wanna buy that pedal being an owner of that exact guitar he is playing. Thick tone

[@lefanton142]

the pedal has other setups as well! great tone, crantsy and warm!!

[@mattgilbert7347]

Tele, Bassbreaker and a VOX. That's a killer wet/dry rig just waiting to happen. Love the Pugilist, it covers a lot of ground. It can even do the Bluesbreaker "thing".

[@TheJofrica]

Matt Gilbert What thing? Thx

[@Stratostrophic]

Def heard some Tool in there. They got some fun jams.

[@sonictitan5604]

The dirt gives me a Tool and Soundgarden vibe

[@pinscherpower1]

That sounds great, and from a tele? Drop that bridge pu a smidge and I think you are there!

[@pablobaleani2756]

You didn´t try low gain sounds...It would be nice!

[@mattgilbert7347]

It can nail that Hendrix-ish cranked Marshall thing, depending on your pups & amp. Great pedal, versatile.

[@Real_Boye]

Proof the the tele can rock hard..

[@horizonontheroof]

Tele can also djent

[@ambrosiajam8008]

Any reason why you didn’t demo it without such high gain and/or mix up the blend?

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

You saved me asking the very same thing. I wanted to hear it with gain and as clean as possible in parallel like the Way Huge Pork Loin

[@hephziisaac2914]

Mame,vera level da.awesome

[@veerchasm1]

Nice playing!

[@jakollee]

You swear you’re not using a noise gate? I have this pedal and it is very noisy when engaged.

[@andyrussell1219]

I have a cheap noise gate arriving tomorrow,the Pugilist is a noisy bugger

[@Assaels]

Mmmm delicious tone

[@entropyembrace3844]

HI between the pugilist and the full moon?

[@JoeKabak]

and what u've done with ua Marshal and The Guitar on ua Back!! Why??

[@noworries12]

2:16 sounds almost exactly like the first chord of Desmond Child*s song "according to the gospels of love!

[@lennykrainie1903]

Best review so far

[@mikeblue385]

the knobs don't turn?

[@mikeblue385]

doesn't sound like they do much. sounds like you just saved me a hundred bucks. don't need any pedal that sounds like that.

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

He just doesn't know how to use the pedal properly.

[@russwilson2305]

So you grab a tele w/ single coils as the only guitar? Bold.

[@MCNickchannel]

this is a digital pedal or transistor(analog)????

[@kappachino2569]

I think it's analog

[@KikoJonesUSA]

What is the official name of the color that Tele?

[@ChengLi1979]

He said sherwood green

[@Alfredo78666]

Halau!

[@SpaceJockey805]

You didn’t demonstrate the blend/stacking options, and your amp already has a little bit of grit, making this demo kind of irrelevant
