The Boss FZ-1W, a versatile vintage fuzz distortion pedal upgraded with modern tones and all sorts of different modes. Fuzz was the first distortion pedal invented and its retro sound is heard by many guitarists between the 60's and now. Rightly so, it's a wonderful, distinctive rock sound which you can check out in the video below
The FZ-1W delivers the same characteristic tone, feel and vibe with a modern twist. This is possible thanks to the premium components on this pedal for top quality performance and more range for tonal flexibility. The fuzz sounds have a classic sound, but can be used in a more versatile way, allowing you to work with this pedal in different modes
Vintage Mode delivers a retro fuzz experience with an aggressive tone, dynamic touch response and extreme sensitivity to input volume. Modern Mode offers a fatter sound and more focus on the middle, for a wider range of musical styles
In addition, the Tone knob provides deep sound-shaping control tailored to each mode. Thanks to silicon transistor circuits, you'll maintain consistent sound and the performance of this unit is always reliable. And for the icing on the cake, it has a high-quality buffer for pure and clear sound in bypass
