The FZ-5 is the only out-and-out fuzz pedal in the Boss range – and that's because it covers most of the classic fuzz tones you'd ever need!

Serving up sizzling '60s and '70s style goodness, the FZ-5 is a super simple compact stompbox consisting of just three dials. Chuck it in front of a clean amp and you can't go wrong with whatever settings you choose. Boss' COSM technology allows the FZ-5 to recreate a boosted fuzz for more aggressive styles.

Fuzz

A fuzz pedal is one of the earliest and most aggressive forms of distortion, turning your clean guitar signal into a thick, saturated wall of sound. It works by clipping the waveform almost flat, creating a compressed, gritty tone full of harmonic overtones. The result is raw, unruly, and unmistakable — from the sputtering breakup of vintage germanium circuits to the searing sustain of modern silicon designs. Fuzz pedals react strongly to your guitar’s volume and pickup choice, making them dynamic tools for expressive players.

Whether you’re chasing the classic tones of Hendrix and the Smashing Pumpkins or exploring heavy, experimental textures, fuzz remains a favourite for its personality and unpredictability. It can sound smooth and sustaining, or wild and velcro-like, depending on how it’s set up. A good fuzz pedal cuts through the mix while adding thickness and attitude, turning any riff or lead line into something bold and unmistakably alive.
