A fuzz pedal or fuzzbox is a type of overdrive pedal that clips a sound-wave until it is nearly a squarewave, resulting in a heavily distorted or fuzzy sound. Fuzzboxes also contain frequency multiplier circuitry to achieve an even harsher timbre by adding complex harmonics. The Rolling Stones’ I Cant Get No Satisfaction greatly popularized the use of fuzz effects.
