Boss FZ-1W Waza Craft Fuzz Effect Pedal

Modern tone with a vintage soul. Boss's FZ-1W is a fuzz pedal that honors tradition but revels in the possibilities of the now. The FZ-1W follows your dynamics and volume knob fluctuations to deliver the true synergistic playing experience of a vintage fuzz pedal. What you do is what you hear. But you won't hear tone-sapping variables like age, battery type, and temperature changing the effects' sound and performance. Two modes offer a wide range of tonal possibilities. Vintage mode gives you classic fuzz tones and a wider expressive range, so you can ride the volume knob as you navigate your emotions. If you're looking for a focused, phatter fuzz, then dial up modern mode. The wider gain range offers more drive so when you push the fuzz knob past three o'clock, you're rewarded with a sweet, singing sustain for your most expressive solos. But it gets better. Use the FZ-1W as a boost before your amp or other gain pedals, and you might never put your guitar down again. Higher gain, lower noise, deep tone shaping control, reactive playability, and rock-solid dependability. Good fuzz is worth waiting for.
