Fuzz effects have been a pedalboard staple since 1962 when the Maestro FZ-1 Fuzz-Tone pedal was introduced to emulate the sound session guitarist Grady Martin created for Marty Robbins’1961 hit “Dont Worry.” The BOSS FZ-1W Waza Craft fuzz pedal pays tribute to early fuzz circuit designs while eliminating some of the issues of vintage effects and providing modern flexibility. The FZ-1W features vintage and modern modes to give you access to a range of fuzzy tones from glitched-out sputters and raspy fuzz grind to singing string-like sustain. In vintage mode the FZ-1W emulates classic fuzz circuits but with higher gain and a wider expressive range and a tilt-EQ-style knob simultaneously adjusts the high and low frequencies for dialing in the perfect old-school fuzz tone for any situation. Modern mode is specifically designed to provide a cutting contemporary sound with even more gain on tap and some serious fatness. In modern mode the tone knob has a unique tuning that lets you sculpt the high end without reducing the midrange youll never get lost in the mix! Guitarists at Sweetwater have found that the FZ-1W also doubles as a powerful boost pedal for juicing your tube amp and adding some hair to your favorite overdrive and distortion pedals.
