Here's a previously unreleased video from the old studio featuring an affordable and mighty sounding fuzz pedal! Let me know what you think of the tones. This was ball-tearingly loud in the room. 😎 We might go live before the end of the year again, so stay tuned.
That’s a great fuzz face. Thing about fuzz is you get more out of it using your volume and tone controls. I like being able to go from a very chimey clean to a blown up amp sound and everything in between with just a volume knob.
Nice review…im not a big fan of fuzz pedal ,i prefer od’s to get driven tones over the muddiness of fuzz…that being said i like how it works like a od a lil bit,in that the volume on the guitar controls amount of effect well. Now if only my left handed playing ass were 1/2 as good as you 😬
The Old Studio through me off at first but Boss is not to shabby and has good FUZZ but really like to hear on Single Coils too, Happy New Year BROTHER and all the Best 🤘🎸🤠
Cheers, Ryan. All the best to you too mate. I shot a bunch of short pedal videos before I moved as a back up for when I need them. There's a few more in the danky old studio coming up in Jan as well. All the best for 2024.
This got me to not buy one of these. While the thought of a buffered fuzz face type fuzz that I could put in different signal chain positions sounds intriguing, I hate the other 2 sounds. If there was a muff type in there with the fuzz face I'd be sold immediately
@@intheblues - Nice, exactly what I use too... I think you may even hold them sideways like I do as well. I haven't found any other pick I like better. If you do, please let us know. Happy 2024.

Brain-eating, even!
Playing an octave fuzz sounds best between the12th and 17th frets. Something magical happens, it’s amazing!😎😎😎🎸🎸🎸
I really like how it reacts to the volume and tone controls, the first mode was awesome and the last mode was gnarly too. Dig it.
I got mine used in new condition in the box and saved $30 😎 I love this pedal, it works great with a Wah pedal. Happy Holidays Shane ✌️
Fuzzy !! Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿

I think I prefer a Muff style pedal better, but; not everyone will like the same thing. Great Demo Shane. :)
Whoa, that’s fuzzy. Boss always gives us something useful.
Man, Boss are the best in the business!!! I can almost feel how loud that was in the room! 🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸
Recently picked up a used one. Love it because it forces you to do a few different things when playing..👍🇦🇺
Thank you! Best review I've seen of this pedal. Your soundquality in the video's is 10/10. 👍
I think this pedal is great, usually ovwrlooked, but great specially for folks to get used to different kind of fuzzes.
This pedal has it in the bag at low and high notes, and boss is not crazy expensive either.

They're good if you want a nasty Stooges or Velvet Underground grungy fuzz tone, though.
I'm the same way. I've never been a fuzz fan.

Threw!

Mighty fine fuzz in my opinion. Really like the M setting spit.
Have a Fuzzy New Year, Shane, to you and yours!
Great demo! This one definitely goes on the wish list...
Get a used FZ-3 or the Waza Craft FZ-1W… both much better than this one. The FZ-5 uses COSM (digital) so it sounds artificial

Try reviewing the Mvave Tank G next, I haven't seen any english speaking channels reviewing it yet
Great video
As I well call this pedal in Russian "fuzyas'ka" -) Although I have almost never used this effect on a pedalboard. Mostly distortion and overdrive. )
Wanna know difference between Distortion, fuzz, metal zone
Now, you made me buy Fuzz.
I want 1
Just bought one, used in good nick and at half price.
Missing the hiss. Sounds more like a overblown overdrive.
It actually sounds really good. I like all the fuzz face applications
Sounds great, what for ? 😅
Shane....geek question - is that Chicken Picks sitting on your desk?
Yep, it’s the 2.6mm ones 😊👍
@@intheblues - Nice, exactly what I use too... I think you may even hold them sideways like I do as well. I haven't found any other pick I like better. If you do, please let us know. Happy 2024.
What? Using a Fuzz without a Stratocaster! … Blasphemy! 😂
Ball-tearingly, is not a pretty picture…. Your lefty PRS is so awesome…..(great jealousy)
So fuzzy!
Quite a mixed bag of tones. Not sure I’m much a Fuzz fan.
Nothin wrong with that
I own a bunch of Boss pedals and this one is the one I just don't like at all.
Yep, the FZ-5 is the worst fuzz pedal Boss have made. Literally every other fuzz they have done is infinitely better
@@davidknipe3536 I disagree... The fuzz face setting is absolutely fantastic... The other two settings sound great on bass, not so good on guitar.
@@mikethebloodthirsty it’s a digital modeller, not a true fuzz so it doesn’t react the same way as an analogue fuzz..
@@davidknipe3536Was wondering about that myself; would its location in the chain be less finicky?
@@mightyluv I’m not sure because I didn’t own one, just borrowed, but I’d imagine it wouldn’t matter as much where you put it.
Not that cheap. Costs more than a big muff and the same as a fuzz face.
69th like! Rippin'! \m/
This is the last stop The boss fz5 is the final fuzz pedal no need for anything else
