Stack-powered Fuzz Tones

Take your tone over the edge with the Wampler Pedals Velvet Fuzz pedal. Not just another fuzz, the Velvet Fuzz combines classic fuzz with the sound of an EL34-powered stack to give you a massive tone. The "tight" setting gives you big fuzz-like distortion. When flipped to the "big" setting, the Velvet Fuzz delivers classic fuzz tone with loads of compression. Rolling back your guitar's volume cleans up the sound for a fat rhythm tone. If you're looking for that fuzz-into-a-screaming-stack sound, then grab the Wampler Pedals Velvet Fuzz and start rocking!

Wampler Nails It Again!

This is hands-down the most versatile, most musical fuzz I've ever played. It will do the face-melting, planet-destroying fuzz, of course, but so will most popular fuzzes. What makes the Velvet Fuzz unique is its' versatility. I can dial the gain all the way back to about 9 o'clock and get a nice crunchy distortion that is great for anything from full power chords to singing leads. The "Tight" mode on the toggle switch gives you articulation and string definition that I've never even dreamed possible with a fuzz.
This is my 2nd Wampler pedal, the 1st being the amazing Ego Compressor which pairs wonderfully with the Velvet Fuzz. (Don't let anyone tell you that fuzz & comp don't go together. They do if they're Wampler pedals). I am currently eyeballing the EQuator EQ pedal... we'll see.
I am definitely a Wampler fan for life.

Velvet Fuzz Review

If a thick chocolate milkshake had a sound, it would sound like this pedal. In all the demonstration videos on fuzz pedals, the Velvet Fuzz stood out to me for its creamy, wide, and rounded sound - no rough edges to the fuzz on this one. These qualities are especially important to those like me, who play a Strat through a clean (Fender-style) amp. The actual performance of this pedal did not disappoint. This pedal inspires a deep dive into the Trower, Pink Floyd, and Gary Clark Jr. catalogue. Thank you, Wampler pedal crew!

And thanks to Sweetwater and Sales Engineer Will Collins!

Jack of all trades

I say jack of all trades because you can get so many tones out of this pedal. Also, it is so versatile that any guitar I plugged into it sounded good with minimal tweaking. Now I'm not a fuzz expert but it is a lot of fun and sounds good. It is also very responsive to the volume knob.
Sweetwater is hands down the best place to buy. They have amazing customer service and prices. Thank you Jacob Stutzman.

Fuzz newbie

Only one I own, but I like it! Nice change of pace from my regular overdrives. I use it more as a texture or change of color To my tone then it's true purpose of over the top distortion. My third Wampler pedal. I like them. See more of them in my future. Thanks Jozy! Keep the cool gear coming!

Different flavor of fuzz , in a very good way

I like a smoother fuzz that doesn’t sound sputtery and hack up the sustain in your lead tones. It responds similar to a big muff with an OD inline to smooth stuff out into violin like sustain. I like this sound a lot, it’s great for the David Gilmour and Eric Johnson type tones on its own and is especially great when paired with a light mid-forward overdrive like an Ibanez Tubescreamer or a Boss OD1/OD2 type pedal.

I use this a lot with my voodoo labs giggity inline also. When you use the dark setting to roll off the bite of my strat’s bridge pickup, it’s a Eric Johnson Cliffs of Dover type tone all the way. It does really well with a compressor, in my case a EHX tone corset (Which is in and of itself a fantastic value in a compressor pedal FWIW and chosen often over my Keeley compressor). If you want a very playable, smooth and less fizzy/spitty/sputtery/lo-fi type fuzz, this is not your pedal. Also, unlike Lo-fi style fuzz boxes, pedals with high/mid EQ bumps (IE tubescreamers/klons) do not sacrifice your tone. The same can be said for buffers. It doesn’t ruin the impact of the effect, quite the opposite actually.

I love it for that Hendrix style tone where one slams the front end of a Marshall with a fuzz box, resulting in more sustain, gain, and playability.

My type,of fuzz for sure.

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Charlie Davis

This is the fuzz for people who normally don't like fuzz. I love the tonal qualities of fuzz but always found them too woofy on low notes and unclear when I played chords. The Wampler Velvet Fuzz fixes all of that. The low end is huge but controlled, but there is an openess to it that I've never found in another fuzz.
