Boss got it RIGHT! With the FZ-1W!

Boss fuzz pedals could never really please me. Until now. The FZ-1W ushers in a new era for fuzz by Boss. A great variety of tones while keeping true to the OG fuzzes of yore.

[@sirshadowplay7287]

Holy hell what an intro! Incredibly beautiful playing, you could just have dropped the mic without a review man

[@SashaIvantic]

Hahaha thanks!

[@rachellebertol2947]

This is the best demo i watch for this pedal!!!! GOD BLESS!!!

[@grmelectric6826]

Best demo of this pedal on the web! Awesome job!

[@williamweiss3620]

Thank you very much for showing this pedal in it's best form. I could listen to you play all day. Love you all Bill.

[@jkylehopkins]

Great demo. Sounds killer. Your playing 🙌

[@Unusednickname_1970]

Subscribed. Best demo of this pedal I’ve seen. Inspired me to buy one and I’m loving it.

[@NorwegianSpirit]

Now THAT'S how you sell a pedal! Truly stunning playing.

[@ElektroCuration]

Sounds so friggin’ good! Rippin demo & that opening jam was indeed glorious. 🔥🔥🔥

[@deltalima5806]

Great review and great chops!

[@dfhomemadestudio]

Fantastic video, playing and tone! Congratulations

[@Newrecordday2013]

Great playing and killer tone!

[@michaeljohnson3383]

Excellent review! I want one.

[@LukeBlase]

I really love your playing style! You're a great guitar player.

[@richietownsend6737]

Thanks for your excellent demo of this fuzz. I already own this, and I never made it sound like this. Your video is as much a tutorial on how to set it as it is a demo. I’m going back to the woodshed with my guitar and amp and FZ1w. Your playing is amazing! I’d love to go hear you in concert. ☮️☮️

[@ishancooper]

Stunning intro man!!!

[@edwardjons8684]

Man your demos are on a level with Mike Hermans by now. Awesome playing and production. And the pedals sounds great too!

[@billgreen3629]

That sounds killer. I love it.

[@eduardocarollo8961]

Amazing Intro by the way - wow 👌🏽

[@randysutton2120]

I'm new to the channel, but I'm very much enjoying your videos. Great playing also...really impressive stuff.

[@SashaIvantic]

Thank you, Randy!

[@caseylm100]

I recently got one. They are relay really nice. Sound great

[@matttorrence2900]

Great playing.

[@sumithramachandranwatchyou5045]

Great playing,,

[@eduardocarollo8961]

FUZZ IS ALL YOU NEED 🚀

[@SashaIvantic]

Truth

[@ElmoRitter]

That's one of my favorite sounding fuzzes holy crap

[@FaberGT86]

Sasha, I come back to watch this video every now and then, you always make great ones but this is definitely one of the best. Boss has really done a great job with this fuzz. I've had a Jam Pedals Fuzz Phrase for a few years but you know, one fuzz is not enough 😂I'm torn between this and the SolidGoldFx If 6 Was 9 mk2...

[@SashaIvantic]

One fuzz is definitely not enough 🤣 get this. You’ll love it.

[@AlexAlexAlexMartin]

Such a great player!

[@johnsguitarmusicanddemos]

That’s some really intense playing!

[@guitarthink]

That opening jam! Sooooooo good......

[@UserUser-qt7mb]

Sasha.. that was one face melting intro!!!!!!

[@steveturner6770]

That's a great Boss pedal.

[@mazklassa9338]

You play with great feel

[@Scoots1994]

The best "cheap" fuzz pedal I have is the Keeley Fuzz Bender. To me it has more range than the FZ-1W, and doesn't have the buffer annoyance. In fact it doesn't care where it's put in the chain really.

[@Scoots1994]

That said the real prize in my fuzz collection is the Reeves blackhatsound

[@theovanzon]

I WANT ONE!!!!

[@TheMedicalEngineer]

That TONE!!! Super ...

[@SCASTRO50]

So inspiring and brilliant playing! What’s the name of the backing track? Please and thank you

[@Fuhgitboutit]

Can this thing go after other drives? Or is it a first in line fuzz? Not sure if this was covered in the vid

[@ivan_emege]

I don’t like fuzz any much, but this one is really nice and musical. I even like more that boggie nights polo shirt, man!

[@djc5897]

Does your gain knob sound scratchy around the 2 o'clock mark? When ibrotate mine regardless of its in vintage or modern mode I hear potentiometer scratching that's audible through my amp

[@AnaCFF]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Zockerecke_]

Maybe I missed it in the video, but could you explain what equipment you used in this video? Guitar, amp, speaker, mic or directly into the interface? It sounds so incredibly good, I could listen to this exact sound for days.

[@mikec3454]

Outstanding playing during the intro. Great review … I’m looking at this or the Dunlop JH-F1. Anyone have opinions between those two?

[@user-qt1cb4ko6w]

What did you buy? I am curious 😉

[@metraf4887]

İm not a strat fan but this one is really beautiful

[@Gibson1976uk]

I just grabbed a minty one off eBay :)

[@SashaIvantic]

You're gonna love it

[@jettramel]

What is that freaking neck? OMG, been looking for something for a parts caster like that, & the playing with off the hook by the way, such soul. It's the neck dot inlays I can't seem to find like that or I would make my own, very nice work & tone.

[@jkylehopkins]

Don't think it's a parts caster. Just a nice strat. May be a custom shop relic.

[@SashaIvantic]

Nope, it's a partscaster. Consisting of Fender and Rebelrelic parts. The neck is Rebelrelic, James!

[@myndzi9926]

Can you tell us more about that shirt? It looks great!

[@SashaIvantic]

That's from Ato Berlin!

[@LewWelchThePoet]

👍🏿🤘

[@jambojamin]

That got a subscribe about 10 sec in. Now I will buy yet another pedal in a vain attempt to sound remotely close to this fantastic tone.

[@22ddo]

Damn, will it make me play like that? Is the guitarist included with the pedal??

[@ayunga]

[@druwk]

Does sound really good. Starting to hate your channel…you are too GOOD at selling Fuzz!!!!!! Definitely, like how you dial in Fuzz in general, and this could be a great alternative to a Fuzzface? It has the midrange squish and tear that I really like. They are a little pricey at the moment on Reverb? Still, it’s cheaper than a Berkos Third Stone.

[@michaelfowler3187]

It's okay to be an aFuzzionado even if not a self proclaimed purist. Nice playing

[@SashaIvantic]

Afuzzionado is my new fave word

[@michaelfowler3187]

@@SashaIvantic It came up in my head by accident and I wasn't even sure it would land with any sort of language barrier, but alas there is none. your intro kicked butt.

[@Open_Eyes_Open_Heart]

Doom switch good!

[@dusandjurovic1074]

Sasha ubijaš kako sviraš..

[@SashaIvantic]

Hvala ti puno!
