Is there a fuzz/overdrive blend pedal?

I've been recording some stuff lately with the newest song having lots of glorious fuzz. Fuzz tone alone is cool but I've been overdubbing with the gain channel of my amp. The result is glorious sonic mayhem.

Is there a fuzz pedal out there that splits the signal for a fuzz + OD/distortion then combines them back? Running a fuzz/OD in series is just a mess, I need them in parallel!

the double muff doesn't give you overdrive and fuzz at the same time

the double muff is an overdrive pedal with fuzzy tone

Yes I saw those but the wording made it sound like cascading gain stages. I'll have to look at them further.

Looks like the same deal with their 'metal muff'. That just has a footswitchable top boost to the fuzz signal.

I am really looking for something that completely splits the signal into (a) fuzz and (b) distortion then combines the two.

I think what you're looking for is a Jekyll Hyde-esque pedal but instead of Distortion/OverDrive, you want Fuzz/Overdrive? Sounds awesome! :D Let me know how your hunt goes, sorry I can't be of any assistance.

What about using some kind of true bypass switcher with parallel in/outs and blend knobs?


Signal from guitar would go into loop 1 and 2. Loop one has a fuzz pedal. Loop 2 has an overdrive pedal. Each loop has its own volume knob placed after the effect to control the level for that loop. Then the signal from both pedals are routed to a shared output to the amp.

Thanks for the replies so far.

The fulltone and Cuzak are close to what I am looking for but neither seems to get as dirty/nasty as how I had everything recorded. The fuzz pedal used is an Ibanez FZ-7 and I was using the drive channel on my Budda. The fuzz tone is a trebley gainy mess. The amp drive channel was more of a thicker tone with medium gain.

I will look into the boss pedal but I was trying to avoid buying numerous pedals/cables ect. Looks like this is the best option though.

Seperate OD & Fuzz, and an octave if you like that kind of thing.
If that octave was half an octave DOWN, i would have had one allready)

The tortuga is pretty good. Its a fuzz that has a mids cut/flat mids/mids boost/tone bypass (read high level) options. As it gets higher in fuzz it gets a full thick distortion-esque tones to it. The proguitarshop demo on youtube will give a you a good idea of its awesome range.
