The BOSS FZ-5 is a modern fuzz pedal designed for today's guitarist, but it captures the vintage essence of the fuzz sounds from the 1960s and 1970s. Utilizing BOSS's advanced COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling) technology, it recreates classic fuzz tones reminiscent of legendary pedals like the Maestro FZ-1A and Fuzz Face. The FZ-5 comes equipped with a BOOST control, allowing players to enhance their fuzz sounds with a more aggressive tone, perfect for cutting through the mix. Its robust, metal construction ensures durability on stage, making it a reliable addition to any pedalboard. This pedal is an ideal choice for musicians looking to add rich, retro fuzz to their sound while maintaining the modern versatility needed for contemporary music.
