Overview

Get those fuzztastic tones that make your guitar sound like a rusty old chainsaw.

The TC Electronic Rusty Fuzz pedal brings you back to the 1960s with vintage fuzz tones inspired by those iconic silicon fuzz pedals that shaped the sound of rock. With Rusty Fuzz, you can tap into smooth, responsive gain that dynamically reacts to your playing. Dial in the amount of gain you want with the Hot knob, from mild overdrive to full-on fuzz. Shape your tone further with the volume control. The Rusty Fuzz's versatile controls make it easy to conjure up heavenly sustain à la David Gilmour or get aggressive velcro-ripping fuzz for searing solos.

Respond Dynamically to Your Playing With Smooth Gain

The Rusty Fuzz has a smooth, organic gain structure that responds to your dynamics, cleaning up beautifully when you back off on the guitar's volume knob. Dig in harder or roll up the volume and the fuzz kicks in with singing sustain and rich harmonic overtones. The pedal excels at those soaring lead tones, while also sounding fantastic as an always-on pedal to add character and touch sensitivity to rhythm playing.

Shape Your Tone With Versatile Controls

Dial in the precise fuzz tone you want with the Rusty Fuzz's intuitive controls. The Hot knob lets you set the overall gain, from mild overdrive to ripping full-on fuzz. The Volume knob adjusts the output level. Find sweet spots at lower volumes for singing leads or crank it for raw power. The Tone knob tailors the EQ from dark to bright. With this versatile tone shaping, you can conjure up fuzz tones ideal for any style.

True Bypass Design Preserves Your Tone

When it comes to fuzz pedals, you want great tone when the pedal is on but also when it's bypassed. The Rusty Fuzz uses a true bypass design that ensures no tone sucking when the pedal is off. Your direct guitar tone flows straight to the amp for maximum fidelity. You get the best of both worlds—iconic fuzz when engaged and pristine clean tone when bypassed.
