Del Fuego Fuzz & Boost Pedal

Del Fuego pairs vintage fuzz character with a dedicated boost, giving you the best of both worlds in one pedal. Inspired by legendary 1970s fuzz circuits, it delivers everything from warm, woolly fuzz to snarling, high-gain tones — plus an independent boost section for extra punch or presence.

Two distinct boost flavours let you tailor your sound:

• Deep Mode: A musical, transparent lift with tightened lows and a smooth mid bump — excellent for solos and adding weight to your tone.
• Bright Mode: Emphasises upper mids and highs for extra clarity in high-gain or lead contexts.

For ultimate versatility, Del Fuego lets you choose whether the Fuzz runs before the Boost or vice versa — giving you classic fuzz textures, overdrive-style aggression, or boosted leads with harmonic richness. Controls are intuitive and responsive, making Del Fuego a highly expressive pedal for studio and stage.

Technical Explanation of controls:-

SUSTAIN – adjusts the amount of distortion and sustain of the fuzz

PRESENCE – adjusts the cut off frequency of the tone control

TONE – adjusts the fuzz EQ from deep bass to high treble

FUZZ VOLUME – adjusts the output level of the fuzz side of the pedal

DEEP -  This is a clean boost which when used in conjunction with the boost volume control gives up to 30db’s of gain.

BRIGHT – Boosts the frequencies from upper mid to high frequencies. Cuts the lower frequency below about 350hz giving a treble boost. Used with guitars when higher frequencies need enhancing.

BOOST VOLUME - This is the overall volume of the boost side of the pedal. In its highest position (fully clockwise) the pedal gives around 30db of gain which borders into the realms of a mild overdrive.
