- Hey, this is Riley Giffin with Fender.
The Duel Pugilist takes our popular Pugilist distortion
and breaks out each mode into its own channel.
You can switch between the two different tones,
stack one into the other,
or blend them together in parallel.
(gentle wistful music continues)
Let's take a look at the controls and features.
Channel A and channel B
feature slightly different distortion circuits,
with channel A being more open and lower gain,
and channel B, more compressed with higher gain.
They do feature the same control sets,
level, tone, and gain.
You can decide which channel is active
with these foot switches,
and you can control how they interact with each other
with the mode switch here.
In mute and bypass mode,
this knob controls the blend of the two channels.
Let's hear each channel. We'll start with distortion A.

Let's go through all three positions
of the combined channels, starting with mute.
In this mode, the two channels are in parallel
and can be blended with the blend control.

Now series.
In this mode, channel A is stacked into channel B,
allowing you to get a higher gain sound.
You can use channel B as your rhythm
and use channel A to boost it for leads.

And finally, bypass.
In this mode, the two channels are in parallel again,
but when they're turned off,
it sends a clean signal through the pedal.
You can blend channel A or channel B with your clean tone,
which can be especially useful
if you're using an already driven amplifier.

One other secret feature is using the two-band EQ,
independent of the distortion.
If neither of the distortion channels are on,
and you turn the pedal on,
you'll get the benefit of the two-band EQ.
Here's a sample of that.

Thanks for tuning in
to check out the Fender Duel Pugilist Distortion Pedal.
It's a great Drive Pedal
that offers low, to medium, to high gain, all in one box,
and foot switchable to go between the two different drives,
or combine them.
You can go to Fender.com to learn about the Duel Pugilist,
