Description

Edit description

An update to the original Patriot, the most thunderous muff tone possible and the closest you can get to the sought after Gilmour Pulse tone.

The MkII Patriot preserves the tone of the original Patriot 100% but lets you cut the low end and boost the midrange

The mid and bass controls when in the fully anticlockwise position don't affect the tone but increase either one for additional bite and less low end

Synonymous with David Gilmour’s tone during Pink Floyd’s Division Bell tour this muff is arguably the biggest and the heaviest of them all. For those searching the creamiest of smooth lead tones and crushing rhythms this is the go to pedal.

The circuit is tweaked in all the right places, extremely rare Russian diodes as found in the originals are thrown into the mix too.

Buffalo FX Patriot MkII: A boutique "Civil War" Big Muff fuzz pedal - gearnews.com

gearnews.com

Buffalo FX's Patriot MkII reimagines the beloved Civil War Big Muff fuzz pedal with modern controls like bass-cut and mid-boost, making it more versatile for live settings. Crafted with high-quality components, it delivers a refined fuzz experience, perfect for achieving those coveted David Gilmour tones. However, while its enhancements and true-bypass switching are commendable, some purists might find it strays too far from the original's essence. Priced competitively compared to vintage models, it’s a solid option for fuzz enthusiasts, but expect a learning curve to fully harness its capabilities.

Buffalo FX unveils Patriot MkII fuzz pedal | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Buffalo FX's Patriot MkII fuzz pedal is a worthy tribute to the legendary Civil War Muff, adding modern usability with bass-cut and mid-boost controls. The inclusion of high-quality components like Russian NOS clipping diodes enhances its appeal, especially for fans of Pink Floyd seeking that iconic fuzz tone. However, while it excels in versatility and sound, some may find the price of €225 a touch steep for a fuzz pedal. Overall, it balances nostalgia with practicality, earning its place in any serious guitarist's arsenal.
