A ferocious vintage-style silicon fuzz with more than a touch of Tone Bender color and attitude.

Peter FC. 23.04.2022

While the FZ-1W isn’t a Tone Bender clone, it speaks with a very similar accent. And with its less cantankerous silicon circuitry and more versatile control set, it dwells in a sweet spot between authentic mid-’60s-ness and more robust and flexible modern fuzz voices. At €250, it also lives in a very competitive neighbourhood where authentic and versatile takes on vintage sounds abound. As with any vintage-voiced fuzz, it’s a good idea to explore how the FZ-1W’s bold tonalities work with your favorite guitar and amp. But if this Boss fits your rig, you can bet you’ll uncover a wealth of fuzz surprises that simpler, more traditional pedals will have a hard time delivering.

Great pedal , responds very well on guitar volume and tone which creates a large tonal variety from clean overdrive to extreme fuzz.
