BOSS FZ-1w FUZZ –Distortion Effects Pedal. All-Analog Premium Waza Craft Pedal for the Ultimate BOSS Tone Experience. Vintage and Modern Modes. For Guitar and Other Instruments

Great pedal. It’s easy to dial in tones that stand out. It’s not as riotous as a big muff, it’s a little tighter and more controlled. I think the general consensus is that it’s a bit fuzzface-like in the vintage setting. The modern setting is warm and dynamic. Immediately slotted in to my pedalboard and works well in a band setting.

It made my guita sound very fuzzy

Makes a subtle sound. Not blistering or completely obliterated but very fat and full bodied. Not like a fuzz face; softer sounding than that

Este fuzz es maravilloso, y de una calidad excelente. El modo vintage es bastante parecido a un maestro fz-1a, pero menos brillante, tiene un ataque muy bien definido y suena bastante roto en el buen sentido. El modo Modern es más medioso, tiene más volumen, y suena más parecido a una distorsión, me recuerda al archifamoso hm-2. Todas las reviews dicen que el sonido se limpia bajando el volumen de la guitarra y es cierto, pero a pesar de ser buffer, para hacer eso con el volumen debe estar el primero en la cadena, o con pedales true bypass delante, si no es así si limpia pero bastante mal. En general muy contento, suena realmente bien.

Da qualche anno a questa parte i fuzz sono tornati alla ribalta dopo essere stati un pò accantonati quando andavano di moda distorsioni high gain.. Ciononostante trovare un fuzz che 'suoni bene' è un'impresa... e spesso sono venduti a prezzi esorbitanti.. in questo caso il team waza di Boss ha realizzato un circuito nuovo ed affidabile che a mio parere suona davvero bene ed ha tutti i suoni che possono servirci, dai timbri vintage a quelli moderni... occhio che per far rendere al massimo un fuzz bisogna farlo suonare in un ampli già prossimo al leggero overdrive oppure bisogna usare un ampli clean ma aggiungere dopo il fuzz un pedale overdrive leggero...

Die beiden Modi sind sehr brauchbar, klingt sowohl mit Single Coils als auch mit Humbuckern gut. Am besten vor einem leicht angezerrten Amp. Empfehlung.

It's not bad compared to a fuzz face where you can't think of any other fuzz

It's Boss, it's Waza Craft. Of course it sounds good. Won't clean up as well as a germanium fuzz but does well enough for most use. On the other hand it's super stable, you always know how it's going to sound. Great range of sounds available, inspiring and creative. Mine has earned its pride of place on the pedal board. Thoroughly recommended.
