Description
Step back into the golden age of rock 'n' roll with the Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-M, a fuzz effects pedal that revives the legendary sound of the original 1962 FZ-1. Iconic for its role in the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction," this pedal brings the past screaming into the present, offering both vintage and modern fuzz tones for today's discerning guitarists.
The FZ-M retains the all-analog charm of its predecessor, enhanced with a versatile Mode toggle switch. Flip between the classic FZ-1 inspired fuzz that slices through the mix with precision, and a thicker, more contemporary fuzz that adds depth and warmth to your sound. The straightforward 3-knob layout ensures that you can dial in your desired tone without a fuss. Use the Attack knob to dictate your fuzz levels, sculpt your sound with the Tone control, and push your output with the Level knob, which can exceed unity gain for those moments when you need to break through the noise.
True bypass switching ensures your signal remains pristine when the pedal is disengaged, while the vintage Maestro logo lights up with colorful LEDs, making sure you always know when your fuzz is in full effect. Built to withstand the rigors of the road, this stompbox is not just a tool but a piece of music history ready to inspire your next hit.
Key Features:
- Controls: Attack, Tone, Level
- True-bypass footswitch with Classic/Modern mode toggle
- LED indicators in the Maestro logo
- All-analog signal processing
- Powered by 9V battery or 9VDC power supply

Quoted from a 1993 article saying only that she used a Maestro "fuzz", model unspecified.
Footage from an early gig clearly shows a Maestro Super Fuzz FZ-1S. The pedal is clearly visible on the floor in front of Donita and can easily be identified due to its large size and the distinctive "Compact Disc" design on the face of the pedal. Its topology is based on the Univox Superfuzz a pedal that was widely used by Grunge bands of the era due to its distinctly "sludgy" and "doom" like tones.
We were thinking of songs like Territorial Pissings and Smashing Pumpkins vibes a lot with this track, so we DI’d a bunch of horrible overdrive and fuzz pedals to get some of the sounds on this. I can’t remember what we used in the end. But I know we tried a RAT and a Boss Metal Zone, maybe this banged-out old pedal from the 60s called Fuzztone or something. I dunno. Whatever it is, it sounds cool.

In a Yahoo Answers discussion about achieving a specific guitar sound, Robert Schneider mentions that his brother created a DIY version of the Maestro Fuzz-Tone pedal for him.

This all-analog pedal boasts a Mode toggle switch that provides two pedals in one functionality for increased sonic versatility with both an FZ-1 inspired fuzz sound and a thicker, more modern fuzz tone. Its 3-knob control layout gives you intuitive control. The Attack knob controls the amount of fuzz. The Tone control lets you adjust the timbre from bright and raspy to warm and wooly and anywhere in between. Use the Level control to set the output volume; it can go way beyond unity gain when desired. The true bypass footswitch triggers the LED lights in the bugles in the Maestro logo when it’s on, so you’ll always know when the effect is active.
