Guitar World Verdict

The Tuna Fuzz is by far the most affordable pedal that Beetronics has made, and with no skimping on sound quality, it offers the best opportunity to sample the brand. Yes, it’s a quirky design, but it’s a tasty fuzz that’s worth making a tuna-can-shaped space on your pedalboard for.

Pros
