BOSS FZ-5 Fuzz

11,915.00

Signal Specifications:

  • Nominal Input Level: -20 dBu — standard for guitar-level input signals.
  • Input Impedance: 1 M ohm — this high impedance is typical for guitar pedals, ensuring the pedal works well with high-impedance sources like electric guitars and basses.
  • Nominal Output Level: -20 dBu — the level of the signal output from the pedal.
  • Output Impedance: 1 k ohm — standard output impedance for pedals, ensuring compatibility with most amplifiers and signal chains.
  • Recommended Load Impedance: 10 k ohms or greater — compatible with most amps and effects pedals.

Bypass:

  • Buffered Bypass: This ensures that the signal remains unaffected and clear when the pedal is turned off, preserving tone integrity.

Controls:

  • FUZZ Knob: This adjusts the amount of fuzz or distortion applied to the signal. Increasing the fuzz generally results in a more aggressive, saturated sound.
  • MODE Knob: Likely changes the character or type of fuzz sound, allowing for different fuzz textures (e.g., smooth vs. biting, subtle vs. extreme).
  • LEVEL Knob: Controls the output volume of the fuzzed signal, allowing you to match it to the bypassed signal or adjust it for your desired effect intensity.
  • Pedal Switch: This turns the effect on or off, engaging the fuzz sound.

Power Supply:

  • Battery Options:
    • Alkaline 9V battery (6LR61).
  • AC Adaptor: PSA series (sold separately).
  • Current Draw: 60 mA, which is relatively low for most pedals.
  • Expected Battery Life:
    • Alkaline: Approx. 4 hours of continuous use.
    • These figures can vary based on the actual usage and battery type.

Indicators:

  • CHECK Indicator: Lights up to indicate that the battery is low or needs replacing. It also indicates when the pedal is in use.

Connectors:

  • INPUT Jack: 1/4-inch phone type for connecting your instrument (e.g., guitar or bass).
  • OUTPUT Jack: 1/4-inch phone type for sending the processed signal to your amplifier or other devices in the signal chain.
  • DC IN Jack: For connecting an external power supply (PSA series AC adapter).

Accessories:

  • Included: Leaflet with safety and usage instructions, 9V alkaline battery (6LR61).
  • Optional: AC Adaptor (PSA series, sold separately).

Size and Weight:

  • Width: 73 mm (2-7/8 inches).
  • Depth: 129 mm (5-1/8 inches).
  • Height: 59 mm (2-3/8 inches).
  • Weight (including battery): 405 g (15 oz).

A Distorted Blast from the Past

The FZ-5 is a modern pedal built for the modern guitarist, but the sounds you can get from the FZ-5 are pure retro. Looking back at the glorious rock sounds of the ’60s and ’70s, the FZ-5 recreates its vintage fuzz through BOSS state-of-the-art COSM technology. Recall the fuzz-filled flavors of classic pedals, such as the Maestro FZ-1A, Fuzz Face and Octavia pedals, and kick ’em into overdrive with the FZ-5’s Boost knob. BOSS’ proprietary COSM technology allows guitar players to recreate classic fuzz BOOST control for more aggressive tone. The FZ-5 is the perfect weapon for players wanting to beef up their rigs with classic retro fuzz artillery.
