A fuzz pedal is an electronic effects unit that adds distortion and sustain to an electric guitar’s sound. It is typically used to create a “fuzzy” or “overdriven” sound, which is often associated with rock and blues music.
Fuzz pedals have been used by guitarists for decades, and many different models and variations have been produced over the years. Some of the most popular and influential fuzz pedals include the Fuzz Face, the Big Muff, and the Octavia. These pedals have been used by countless guitarists, including Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Jimmy Page.
