TC Electronic Rusty Fuzz – classic fuzz tone in a modern form

TC Electronic Rusty Fuzz is an analog fuzz guitar pedal that brings the legendary character of vintage fuzz sounds from the '60s and '70s into today's world. Powered by silicon transistors, it delivers the warmth and growl of iconic fuzz circuits like the Fuzz Face — but at a fraction of the cost. It’s the perfect solution for experienced players and beginners alike, who are looking for expressive vintage tones with modern reliability.

Product features

Rusty Fuzz offers a simple, classic control layout with three knobs: Fuzz, Tone, and Volume. This gives you fast and precise control over the sound — from warm, silky sustain ideal for psychedelic or bluesy solos to aggressive, velcro-like tones perfect for modern rock styles. True bypass ensures zero signal loss when the pedal is turned off.

Dynamic and expressive – full control over your fuzz

This pedal is incredibly responsive to your playing style and your guitar’s volume knob. With soft picking or a rolled-back volume, it delivers a smooth and mellow fuzz. Push harder or turn up the volume, and Rusty Fuzz explodes into rich harmonic saturation or hard-edged, gated textures — depending on how you play. A full spectrum of vintage fuzz in a modern compact box.

Applications and versatility

Rusty Fuzz is ideal for guitarists in rock, blues, psychedelic, alternative and stoner genres. It works equally well in front of an amp during live shows or in the studio, offering timeless tone inspired by the golden age of guitar effects — with road-ready construction and hassle-free operation.
