My Bloody Valentine guitar icon Kevin Shields has teamed up with Fender to launch the Shields Blender – notable for being both the firm’s first ever signature fuzz pedal and for reprising one of the brand’s vintage obscurities in all its glory.
Of course, this being Shields – a tonal pioneer and one of the main forces of the shoegaze movement – the circuit has not hit the shelves unaltered and the Shields Blender is a signature in way more than name.
