Excellent demonstration. Thanks for taking the time to walk through this in such detail.

[@WallofSoundDK]

Thanks man - means alot :-) just added the FZ-2 to the channel the other day, you might wanna check that out too ;-)

[@JDStone20]

AWESOME! I have the Boss FZ5 pedal, and this is the best demo I have seen of it. Also, most people will say that it needs a tone knob, but it DOES NOT!! The original pedals it models didn't have tone knobs, and if you need an adjustment in tone, you CAN get it by playing with either the Level or Fuzz to get either a boost or a cut. I would love to see someone get this pedal up on a Spectrum Analyzer

[@WallofSoundDK]

Thanks man :-)

[@WallofSoundDK]

I also did videos on the FZ-2 and FZ-3 BTW

[@novocat1358]

Have this pedal, but never got round to using it. I have the Boss Blues Driver 2 on board. FZ 5 sounds good though, I think this sound was a trail blazer in the 60/70's.

[@coopergoss350]

When I get mine I’ll have the boost all the way up all the time lol

[@savanaviolenta]

Thanks, bought one of these.

[@GrimKage]

Is it good?

I liked this video the moment I heard "Zed." 🇨🇦

[@jonathanwapner6262]

Is the guitar in tune?

[@WallofSoundDK]

I always tune the guitar before recording, so it should be ok, but it's a Strat, so bending sometimes means re-tuning...

[@kobycollier6965]

Sounds just like a bumble buzz pedal

[@WallofSoundDK]

Just checked out the Bumble Buzz - nice one - but does sound a bit 'sicker' than the Boss in my ears

[@ryanatengco2907]

Congrats., you made it sound like crap

[@WallofSoundDK]

Thanks, man - means alot. It takes years of practise to master the crappy skill - but don't worry, even though you seem a bit slow, you'll get there eventually...

[@peterfreer]

I do not get the fuzz obsession, sounds like crap

[@matimoksa]

that's fuzz supposed to be

[@henriquevalverde7179]

@@matimoksa No, a fuzz is not supposed to sound like crap. Usually the issue is with the person who is using the fuzz.
