Trusted musician and artist reviews for Boss FZ-5 Fuzz
Based on 7 Reviews


Kickass for the Price
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.
Fuzz FZ-5
Great Fuzz pedal. Quite frankly, I was impressed. The three options (Fuzz Face, Maestro FZ-1A and Octavia) sound Really Good.

It's good
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.
