Boss FZ-5 Fuzz

he FZ-5 is a modern pedal built for the modern guitarist, but the sounds you can get from the FZ-5 are pure retro. Looking back at the glorious rock sounds of the ’60s and ’70s, the FZ-5 recreates its vintage fuzz through BOSS state-of-the-art COSM technology. Recall the fuzz-filled flavors of classic pedals, such as the Maestro FZ-1A, Fuzz Face and Octavia pedals, and kick ’em into overdrive with the FZ-5’s Boost knob. BOSS’ proprietary COSM technology allows guitar players to recreate classic fuzz BOOST control for more aggressive tone. The FZ-5 is the perfect weapon for players wanting to beef up their rigs with classic retro fuzz artillery.

Almost sold it. Would have regretted it.

Complete fuzz, used on solos with WH10

A simple yet kickass fuzz pedal. Boss really brings it in with this one. If you want to play some Stoner Metal on a budget, this is your pedal. It takes a simple 9v adapter, it's got three options (Fuzz, Mid?, and Overdrive).

Fuzz: Very bass heavy. Loud. Good feedback. Crunchy for its price. It's good when the knob is flicked on Treble. Mid: This is a neat option for like a filtered intro? I use it with other pedals. I have a Lone Wolf Audio Iron Fist. Pair the two together for a massive song. Overdrive: I think it's fairly decent? Dirty. Hardworking. Just like an alcoholic father. It does the job.

Easy to change the battery and fuck with the board too. 4/5. Great pedal. Should be on every heavier bands pedalboard.

Great Fuzz pedal. Quite frankly, I was impressed. The three options (Fuzz Face, Maestro FZ-1A and Octavia) sound Really Good.

Fuzz

I got it for Christmas thinking it would be a simple fuzz. It somehow isn't. The fuzz is very off. Whatever setting you put it at, it seems to have too much fuzz. It looks nice but I hardly use it.
