The Benchmark For Studio SoundLooking back through history of great fuzz tone, there have been some incredible examples - in particular, the tones that have been achieved by running a fuzz into a screaming stack. The kind of tones that are just earth shattering in their depth, aggression and smoothness.
Wampler took the base tones from a very beloved Wampler Pedal (one that has the characteristics of a famous stacked, EL34 driven, amp) and decided this was the best foundation to build the perfect fuzz and deliver it in a unit that sounds as good as it feels powerful.
With two entirely different clipping options (not just the basic silicon or germanium option like most) you can achieve those classic fuzz big tones that compresses massively across the bottom or you can tighten them up and have it respond more like a distortion. With this you get all of the tone with none of the side effects. Some people say it sounds like a fuzz but feels like a distortion, so you can have the best of both worlds.
If you are a fan of the tones of the players like David Gilmour or Eric Johnson (and let’s face it, who isn’t), then it could be that the Velvet Fuzz is the pedal you are looking for. Welcome to a new world of thick as a brick, wall crumbling and window shattering fuzz, the Velvet Fuzz.

Unique and Versatile Fuzz Tone
NOT JUST ANOTHER CLONEThere are lots of FF and BM clones out there, with the Velvet Wampler wanted to bring you something different, taking a favourite circuit of theirs and smashing the front end to bits to give an awesome full stack fuzz tone that will melt faces.
VELVETY SMOOTHThe Velvet Fuzz is well known as been Velvety smooth… if screaming long notes are required, the Velvet lets you sing them on forever, you can bend a note and the note will ring continuously.
BIG OR TIGHTTwo clipping modes make the Velvet Fuzz one of the most versatile original fuzz circuits available. One of them gives you that beautifully horrible fat width, destroying the first three rows and the other is just sustain, smoothness and even more sustain.
BUILT FOR FOREVERBrian Wampler’s attention to detail and commitment to bringing you the best-sounding & most usable Effects Boxes on the market is nothing new. Those qualities are fully on display within the Velvet Fuzz. As tone-freaks, they alway try new things, but the Velvet Fuzz should finds it’s forever home on your pedalboard.
