The "bypassed tone" at the begining was awesome.

[@vforvillain77]

Let's Rock. But let's do it very calmly.

[@Scugs]

@minpinful A lot of people thought that, but John actually had the Casino plugged into the soundboard directly and had them overload the signal - which produced the sound you hear.

[@homunculusSZN]

Now a slide sound with this pedal fucking rules 😂

[@knmhobbies]

Good catch. I even build a clone of the FZ-1A myself and I didn't notice that. I think I was too mesmerized by his voice;)

[@Niraham]

I can't believe nobody asked this before me. What guitar and what amp was used in this demo? Sounds really nice.

[@rocky7w]

def has a boost on it....

[@JimboMansonMB1]

*monotone, emotionless voice* Let's rock!

[@PeterPug]

The bypassed tone WAS great!!! Was that the Supro again???

[@DrRosewater]

That man's voice........

[@SF1940s]

i dont aways use fuzz but when i do i call this guy

[@northeffects]

That has been extensively modified. Those are, as someone else has pointed out, new production NTE transistors and it's running on 3V like the earlier FZ-1 (the 1A ran on a single AA battery @ 1.5V). Sounds pretty good though and not a million miles from the ones I've heard in the flesh.

[@stealthyBLK]

it maybe modified but mine isn't and mine sounds just like this one ,so I don't know what the mod did ...?

[@sakitakungtyan]

NTE transistors and 2 AA batteries?

[@surfercrow]

Serial #30091 was built in 1967, not 1964.

[@itayash]

@scotttrojan
they started making him at 1962
until 1965 the sales wasnt good an in 1965 the song satisfaction chnged it all

[@sjirk]

[@luckylicks3497]

[@djbigleg3228]

[@CacheSeaker]

Sounds Just like the James gang live at Carnegie Hall

[@woodrowjang]

How would you achieve the Rolling Stones 'satisfaction' sound?

[@MrSainttyler]

Anyone know of a Maestro FZ-1A Fuzz Tone VST?

[@doggodoggo3000]

[@blkstone5272]

[@RubberMammy]

This Big Brother speaking to you..... ha ha ha

[@ildedoni]

No dude, your voice is not deep. You're just whispering close to a mic and it sounds cheese

[@mechanicaleufory]
