The Boss FZ-5 Fuzz Effects Pedal is a modern fuzz designed for the guitarists of today but delivers the purely retro fuzz soundscapes of yesteryear. Inspired by three famous fuzz pedals from the 60s the FZ-5 recreates each classic effect with its state-of-the-art COSM technology providing the vintage warmth that made up so much of their character. The three selectable modes correlate to each legendary fuzz: F for a certain face-shaped fuzz M for the FZ-1 Maestro and O for Hendrixs favourite the Octavia. If that wasnt enough the Boss Fuzz Pedal also includes a boost control allowing you to dial up the aggression for fuzzed out madness. With its roadworthy metal construction making it ideal for touring musicians the Boss FZ-5 Fuzz Effects Pedal is the perfect weapon to give your sound extra helpings of retro fuzz.

Boss

BOSS began in Osaka in 1973 as MEG Electronics, a company dedicated to effects. Its first BOSS-branded effect was the CE-1 Chorus Ensemble in 1976; the OD-1, SP-1 and PH-1 launched the compact-effects series in 1977. The JustPedals catalogue includes familiar overdrives and distortions such as the OD-3, SD-1, BD-2, DS-1 and MT-2 Metal Zone, as well as utility items such as the PCS-20A cable. BOSS now spans compact pedals, multi-effects, loopers, tuners and controllers. Manufacturing origin should be checked by model rather than inferred from the brand’s Japanese history.

Fuzz Pedals

Fuzz drives the signal into extreme clipping, often flattening the waveform and generating a thick spectrum of harmonics. Transistor type, bias, input loading and tone filtering create markedly different responses, from loose and velvety to gated, spluttering or octave-rich. Some circuits interact strongly with pickup impedance and guitar volume, while others include buffers or blends for a more consistent response.
