Boss FZ-1W Fuzz: Better Than the Tone Bender?

[@jerrymullin2058]

Great new pedal introduction. Thanks.

[@SeanAllocca]

I don't trust anyone who doesn't like fuzz. Cooper, YOU made this pedal sound amazing.

[@markferguson3745]

Ditto. When creators start saying that "this is the Fuzz if you don't like Fuzz" , I say , - don't try to convert them; leave them to their innate lameness.

I see Cooper Greenberg, I click.

It’s good. With the dynamics.

[@davidkastin4240]

Boss pedals rule! 🏆

[@Goth108]

Does it chug?

[@roberthealy1814]

I haven't gotten into pedals yet. Interesting though.

[@tonoselectricos]

Man....if you still can.....don't go into pedals. It's a hard drug. 😂

Nice demo! However imho, best to play a fuzz through a crunchy plexi! ala JIMI ;-)

[@Unusednickname_1970]

Depends on which fuzz pedal you’re talking about, but this one sounds best into a slightly dirty amp in my experience. Too raspy and open with a clean amp, hence the crap tone in this demo. Needs a cranked amp, or a dirt pedal, to smooth it out.

More talking, less playing!

[@Charango123quena]

what an awful sound .. I can't see myself using this ..it's more noise than notes

[@leoolivero963]

c'mon, dont be fuzzy ;-)

[@markferguson3745]

It does what a Fuzz does exceptionally well.Perhaps the problem is more your self imposed limitations, combined with narrowly defined sensibilities ?

[@markferguson3745]

@Der_Mantie To use an often misunderstood and abused term, yes.But it also reminds me of those who have traditionally used narrow intereptations of form to assault modern visual art.We might all recognize the varied ways of expressing individual realities.

For me, fuzz it's the "delicatessen" in pedal's World. Not made for everybody, but really delicious for sommeliers.😅😅😅

Fuzz ime is best handled as a very specific voicing for each song/composition. Some of its better uses are not obvious; e.g. the right fuzz in the right song can do wonders for a mix by simply and subtly doubling a melody or bassline, not just for guitar parts. Some fuzz-face variants can work well 'always on' with the right pickups, but most kinds of fuzz _falls on its own face_ as a 'standard drive' effect. After all, it was invented to give guitar players a 'saxophone' like timbre = Maestro Fuzztone was all honk and buzz. Its very similar to how the first wah-wahs were imitating a trumpet mute, and are best used sparingly. _Foodie analogy: Fuzz is much more like a complimentary 'sauce' or spice used for intense flavor accents, and not so meat-and-potato, or chicken&rice._

Too much talking. Too much off topic info. Demo the product…please.
