Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Pugilist Distortion V2 puts two independently controlled distortion engines in one pedal. Each side has its own Gain, Tone, Level controls, and footswitch activation, so Engine A and Engine B can be used separately or together. A Path switch selects series or parallel routing: series sends one engine into the other, while parallel runs both alongside each other and uses their Level controls for blending. Global Mid Cut and Bass Boost switches provide further shaping, with selectable true or buffered bypass for the pedalboard connection.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Using Engine A and Engine B separately as distinct brighter and heavier distortion sounds.
- Stacking two distortion stages in series for staged gain changes using the individual footswitches.
- Blending both engines in parallel with their Level controls to balance their two distortion voices.
