Fuzz Pedal

A fuzz pedal is an electronic device used with electric guitars to create a distinctive, saturated distortion sound. When engaged, it alters the guitar's signal, producing a thick, gritty, and often 'growling' tone that adds sustain and character to the music. It's widely used in genres like rock and blues for enhancing expressive dynamics and creating unique sonic textures. Essentially, it compresses and shapes the sound to make it more powerful and aggressive, allowing musicians to craft various emotional and energetic sounds from their instrument.
