How do the controls on the Aguilar Fuzzistor V2 Bass Fuzz Pedal work?

The Fuzzistor V2 offers four intuitive controls. The Fuzz knob dials in the amount of distortion, from subtle grit to thick, saturated fuzz. Blend lets you mix your dry bass signal with the fuzz effect, preserving your low end. Level adjusts the overall output volume, while the Tone control, a unique Tilt EQ, shapes the character of the fuzz by simultaneously tightening some frequencies and loosening others, offering a wide range from narrow and punchy to wide and wooly.

What is "Gig-saver bypass" on the Fuzzistor V2?

The Fuzzistor V2 features Aguilar's "Gig-saver bypass." This smart design ensures that if your pedal loses power during a performance, your bass signal will still pass through the pedal unaffected. This prevents unexpected silence and keeps your show running smoothly, providing peace of mind for live musicians.

Who is the Aguilar Fuzzistor V2 Bass Fuzz Pedal designed for?

The Fuzzistor V2 is perfect for bassists looking to add classic, rich fuzz tones to their sound. Whether you want a subtle, warm overdrive, a gritty texture, or a full-on, aggressive fuzz, this pedal delivers. Its blend control makes it versatile for any genre, allowing both new and experienced players to integrate fuzz without losing their fundamental bass tone.

Is the Aguilar Fuzzistor V2 an analog or digital fuzz pedal?

The Aguilar Fuzzistor V2 is an all-analog fuzz pedal. This means it uses traditional electronic components to create its fuzz effect, resulting in a warm, organic, and responsive tone that many bassists prefer. Analog circuitry is known for its natural feel and dynamic interaction with your playing.

What power supply does the Fuzzistor V2 require?

The Aguilar Fuzzistor V2 operates on a standard 9V DC power supply, which is sold separately. Sweetwater offers a wide selection of compatible power supplies, and our Sales Engineers can help you find the right one for your setup.

Vintage Silicon-based Bass Fuzz

Get to know them!

The Fuzzistor V2 from Aguilar takes a snapshot of the ’70s and turns it into the perfect complement for any bass rig in need of extra oomph. Chunky, rude, and packed to the gills with all-analog gain, the Fuzzistor V2 features a silicon transistor for authentic old-school fuzz, plus modern amenities like a Tilt EQ and a blend knob for balancing the effect with your dry signal. Independent volume and fuzz controls allow for easy tonal tailoring that ranges from subtle grit to filthy clipping chaos that explodes with swirls of harmonic overtones. Sweetwater bass players are especially keen on the Fuzzistor’s Tilt EQ tone knob: far from your average tone control that can only cut or boost, the Tilt EQ does both, supplying a more organic and musical range of tones. Adjusting the tone knob brings big EQ changes that tighten up key frequencies while loosening others. Narrow and punchy or wide and wooly — the choice is yours!

Revamped feel and footprint

The Fuzzistor V2 delivers the same great tone of the original, but with a revamped look and new chassis. The V2 chassis is significantly lighter than the original, which makes a huge difference if you’re like other Sweetwater bassists who have more than one Aguilar device on their pedalboard.
