This is the Flattley Pedals DG Fuzz V2 – a boutique, UK-made David Gilmour-inspired fuzz face-style fuzz with a unique look and some awesome special tricks up its sleeve!More info at Flattley pedals:
The first thing you notice about the DG Fuzz V2 is that it’s a stunning thing to look at. The sparkly, skull-embossed enclosure design is – like everything else about the pedal – painstakingly crafted by the small Flattley team in their workshop in England.
If it looks expensive, that’s because it is: £259 (about $340/€300 at time of writing, May 2025). But Flattley only use the best of the best parts in all their pedals, and you can pay far more for fuzzes in this day and age. And far less, of course.
The DG Fuzz is based on a fuzz face circuit, but has a simplified version of Flattley’s Ace Tone Booster built in to give us some extra magic. It’s a silicon fuzz, and it features a buffer (although the pedal itself is true bypass), so you can put it anywhere you want in your signal chain without any problems. (Fuzz Face pedals can be notoriously picky in this regard!)
You get four controls on the pedal: Tone, Fuzz, Volume, and Grunt. The first three are pretty self-explanatory. The Grunt controls sits before the fuzz part of the circuit and injects bass frequencies into your signal which really lets you fatten up the fuzz tones. Balancing the Grunt and the Tone, and adding Volume and Fuzz to taste, should offer up a huge variety of fuzzy sounds!
There’s a couple of little extra touches that elevate the DG Fuzz above the ordinary: a halo ring LED On/Off light – not one of those tiny, blinding LED lights that so many pedals suffer from – and an aluminum foot topper, to make the DG Fuzz easier to turn on and off in a hurry!
All this said, it’s still an high-priced pedal… but is it worth it? That’s what we’re about to find out! In the video, I put the DG Fuzz through its paces in as many different fuzzy musical styles as possible – from Hendrix-infused rock to blues, garage punk, doom, metal and more – to see how good it truly sounds.
I also run it into my beloved Paul Cochrane Timmy overdrive pedal as a boost, and we’ll stick my Boss OC-5 octave pedal into the front end for some killer octave down fuzz tones too! Finally, I run a loop into the DG Fuzz where we really get to twist the pedal’s knobs and see how versatile and extreme we can get it to sound.

27:38 My conclusions on the DG Fuzz V2 and why you should buy it
My setup was as follows: I ran the DG Fuzz straight into my Hughes & Kettner Black Spirit 200 head, also using the Timmy pedal and the Boss OC-5 at times. They went from the amp’s Red Box DI straight into my Focusrite Scarlett 2i4, which went into Logic Pro X. That's it. No post-processing on the sounds was done. Oh, and I used my Boss RC-10R to play the loop.
