Vintage Fuzz Tone Reimagined

Inspired by the golden age of rock, the FZ-5 captures the unique warmth and grit of legendary fuzz pedals using BOSS COSM (COmposite Object Sound Modeling) technology. This advanced digital processing models each circuit’s tonal behavior in stunning detail, giving players access to three distinct vintage fuzz voices in one pedal.

  • Wide dynamic range for expressive playing

  • Ideal for lead tones, heavy riffs, and psychedelic textures
