With the BOSS FZ-1W you get the latest take on a classic BOSS stompbox, crafted using only the finest of materials, for the best possible output.

Redefined Vintage Fuzz Combined With Versatile Modern Tones

There are many reasons why Fuzz effects are as popular today as they were upon their first release in the 1960s, and the BOSS FZ-1W helps you to explore them all.

Thanks to a deep analysis of legendary fuzz pedals combined with highly detailed Waza craftsmanship, the all-analog FZ-1W offers all of the inspiring tone, feel, and vibe of a classic fuzz unit, but in a reliable, modern design.

  • Premium Waza Craft pedal for the ultimate BOSS tone experience
  • Redefined fuzz sounds that combine classic tone and response with modern versatility and stability, realized through BOSS Waza innovation

  • Modern mode provides a fatter sound and more mid focus to suit a wider range of music styles
  • Powerful Tone knob provides deep sound-shaping control tuned for each mode
  • Consistent sound and reliable performance with silicon transistor circuitry
  • High-quality buffer for clean and clear tone when bypassed

Vintage Meets Modern In The Best Possible Way

Classic Fuzz effects often utilise simple circuits, which result in bright and aggressive tones and long sustain, with an output that's sensitive to your playing dynamics, and which clean up nicely when you roll back the guitar's volume.

Unfortunately these classic pedals can be fairly inconsistent, with things such as age, battery type, and even temperature having a dramatic effect on its performance.

With the FZ-1W though you get to enjoy the excellent musical characteristics of a vintage fuzz, but without any of those downsides!

Thanks to top-quality silicon transistors, the unique circuit of the FZ-1W offers an authentic tone and response, but with increased performance stability in any playing condition.

Dual Modes

This pedal gives you two different fuzz modes to choose from, for a wide variety of tonal options:

  • Vintage Mode: This mode offers a classic fuzz effect, but with a much wider expressive range, which can take you from heavy fuzz to crunch to crystal clean just by manipulating your guitar's volume control knob! In addition to this, the pedal's Tone control will adjust both the High and Low frequencies for a wide variety of fuzz colours.
  • Modern Mode: This mode delivers a much more refined and versatile fuzz that can be described as Fat and Focused, which can offer rich, singing sustain that's ideal for solo playing.

You can switch between these modes with ease thanks to the two-way control that sits between the Level and Fuzz control knobs.

The Art Of Superior Tone

BOSS Waza Craft circuits are born from the company's commitment to achieving the finest guitar tones, using the best technology available from old-school analog through to cutting-edge DSPs.

As a result, these pedals offer exceptional tone and touch response, and represent the very pinnacle of BOSS design and craftsmanship.
