The FZ-5 is a contemporary pedal that was created for today’s guitarist, however the sounds produced are pure retro. BOSS state-of-the-art COSM technology is used to replicate the FZ-5’s vintage fuzz, which harkens back to the glorious rock sounds of the 1960s and 1970s.

Guitarists can recreate the aggressive fuzz tone of the original BOOST control thanks to BOSS’ proprietary COSM technology. For players looking to beef up their rigs with traditional retro fuzz artillery, the FZ-5 is an ideal weapon.
