Expanded Functionality Makes This Distortion a Must-have
With the Duel Pugilist Distortion pedal, Fender has managed to improve on a fan-favorite design. The Duel Pugilist features the same gain circuitry as the original stompbox with two drastic improvements: separate On/Off switches for each channel and improved routing options. Each distortion channel features independent Gain, Tone, and Level controls. A 2-band master EQ further shapes the tone. Where the Duel Pugilist Distortion pedal really shines is its routing capability. Layer, blend, or stack the channels — it's entirely up to you! Complete with a barely there buffer, the Fender Duel Pugilist Distortion pedal will make sure your tone sounds perfectly punchy.

Distort it your way
The Duel Pugilist Distortion pedal features a Mode switch with expanded routing options that let you create your signature tone. Set the switch to Mute, and the Duel Pugilist will use Distortion A as the main sound and layer Distortion B on the top — think of it as the "boost" function. Select Series mode, and the pedal will stack both distortion channels as if they were separate pedals. Finally, flip the switch to Bypass. This mode will blend both channels together with the onboard A/B Blend knob. However you choose to use the Duel Pugilist Distortion pedal, Sweetwater is confident that it'll wow you and your audience.
