The Katzenkönig fuzz pedal is capable of making your guitar signal wail. Translating to “Cat King,” it is a combination of a Rat distortion pedal and Tone Bender MkII fuzz. This wide-ranging pedal gives you tones from creamy and smooth to wailing, snarling fuzz. Unlike many fuzz pedals, it works fine with high output humbuckers. The Katzenkönig consists of Volume, Filter, Gain, and Input knobs for dialing in your ideal sound. It boasts a high-quality footswitch and all-metal chassis for long-lasting performance.

The TightFuzz Pro is built from Amptweaker’s famous TightFuzz distortion pedal. Similar to the standard-sized variant, it boasts several tonal options thanks to the Silicon/Germanium switch, 60’s/70’s tone switch, and Smooth Edge switch. The TightFuzz Pro introduces an auto-bias feature built into the Fuzz control that lets the knob control the nastiest and cleanest distortions using a single control. Unlike most “reissue” fuzz boxes, the Tight control’s addition allows the input of the fuzz circuit to be buffered from your guitar in a compensated fashion.

The Fuzz War from Death by Audio has all the cut corners on the graphix but never on the sound and components. You get a high-tech fuzz pedal at a budget-friendly price. It comes with three knobs allowing it to create loads of ultimate fuzz, overdrive, boost, and distortion sounds. The Fuzz War includes controls for Tone, Volume, and Fuzz. Hear it for yourself to see what Death by Audio refers to as the “thickest sounding sustaining fuzz pedal we have ever heard.”
