FZ-5
Fuzz
A DISTORTED BLAST FROM THE PAST
The FZ-5 is a modern pedal built for the modern guitarist, but the sounds you can get from the FZ-5 are pure retro.
Looking back at the glorious rock sounds of the '60s and '70s, the FZ-5 recreates its vintage fuzz through BOSS's state-of-the-art COSM technology. Recall the fuzz-filled flavors of classic pedals, such as Maestro FZ-1A, Fuzz Face, and Octavia pedals, and kick them into overdrive with the FZ-5's Boost knob.
BOSS’ proprietary COSM technology allows guitar players to recreate classic fuzz BOOST control for more aggressive tone. The FZ-5 is the perfect weapon for players wanting to beef up their rigs with classic retro fuzz artillery.
