Fuzz guitar

Fuzz guitar refers to a style of distorted sound created by using a special effects pedal called a fuzz pedal, which radically alters the guitar's tone. This effect produces a thick, saturated, and often fuzzy or buzzy sound, emphasizing sustain and harmonic richness. Originally popularized in the 1960s, fuzz adds a gritty texture that can evoke a sense of power, chaos, or warmth, depending on how it's used. It is commonly employed in genres like rock and psychedelic music to craft a distinctive, expressive, and intense sonic character.
