A Shoegaze Legacy Reinvented
Designed around the meticulously traced vintage Blender circuit of Kevin Shields, this signature revives a cornerstone of the shoegaze sound while propelling it into the modern era. It retains the original's acidic grit and nervous response, then adds stage features designed with the artist to sculpt massive soundscapes and controlled feedback.Who and What Styles?
Ideal for shoegaze, alternative rock, noise, and post-rock guitarists, as well as sound designers seeking extreme textures. In studio or live, it sits at the front of the chain or after an overdrive to thicken a pedalboard and create evolving harmonic layers. Its mixable clean signal facilitates blending within a band without losing clarity.Technical specifications

Questions frequently asked
Is the Fender Shields Blender suitable for shoegaze and noise textures?
Designed based on Kevin Shields' vintage Blender circuit, this pedal delivers a dense fuzz with pronounced mids. The octave and responsive Sag sections allow for creating pads, drones, and controlled feedback.
How do the channels and octaves work?
A footswitch selects between two channels: one blends fuzz with clean signal, the other combines fuzz with a monophonic sub-octave. The Fuzz and Octave controls adjust gain and octave component respectively. A dedicated switch provides instant access to octave variations.
Is it possible to retain clean signal with this fuzz?
The Blend control balances the ratio between clean signal and fuzz to maintain clarity in the mix.
What power supply is required for this pedal?
The required power supply is 9 V DC center negative, with a typical consumption of 80 mA. A 9 V battery can be used. A 9 V DC adapter is compatible, but not included.
What are the connections and type of bypass?
Inputs and outputs use 6.35 mm jacks mounted on the top of the brushed aluminum enclosure. The main switch employs true bypass, with an input impedance of 100 kOhms and an output impedance of 15 kOhms.
