great points about the vintage/modern switch being hard to mess with. Lol maybe pinch a tight clip on there from home depot? Admit it I'm a genius!
That little parlor guitar sized body but with the P90's and the full 4-knob tone/volume control layout is gorgeous! That one looks like it would be fun to play!
I own this and have about 6 hrs playtime on it and have not found and unusable tone. Usable is the best way to describe this. It’s got all you need and nothing you don’t. This and the DM-2w a TU-3 are probably all I need tbh.
You can get some OD to massive fuzzes and I love it for that.
I’ve only been watching your videos for a week or so but your genuine enthusiasm for what you’re reviewing is contagious. Dog fuzz
Hey Simon. Thanks. It makes a big deal to read that.
You’re welcome! Keep it up my friend
Thanks Andy for a great presentation, a really super video this Boss is the nicest pedal since the Jimi fuzz face a really cool dog fuzz. A fan video
Hey paul! You are welcome. Thanks for your kind words
Great video. I gotta get my hands on one of these!
Cheers Mark! Yeah, this is a great pedal
I own this pedal, and it has become my main fuzz. I also have the Behringer SF300 Super Fuzz and the Keeley Tone Bender, which I think are uniquely different than the BOSS FZ-1W, but I’ve sold all my other fuzz pedals. #dogfuzz
Got it myself on a pretty randy crazy impulse purchase lol. Glad I did though : )
I effing love it! Rock my ass all night on my metal af black death strat : )
I wasn't ready for this when released, but now I've gone back and I am very pleased with the sounds this dog fuzz is making.
This is my favorite fuzz that I’ve owned. It doesn’t have that spitting gating sound that I’m really not a big fan of and it does have a hint of upper octave when I use it with the Boss OD3 which I like a lot.
Awesome video as always! I use my ToneBender more like an overdrive or boost in my already driven amp. Sounds huge! :-)
That’s an expensive boost! I’ll try mine like that
@@TheGuitarGeek I did a video a few days ago about that. The amp is at medium gain, the ToneBender‘s level is at max, gain at 9 o’clock and the guitar volume poti is dialed down a little bit for more clarity. :)
Thanks for including a baritone guitar in your test kit. I've got an LTD-Viper201b. I'm searching for a sort of dog fuzz that can fit in to some stoner rock but also doom. Still not completely sold on one, but this (maybe with the Rat in front) might get pretty close.
That Last Nite tone was excellent!
I'm in love with that Maybach guitar - looks so comfortably small
It’s wonderful. The P90 pickups are great
Yes Mon! Digging this DOGFUZZ!
It’s hairy for sure!
I have recently fallen into the dog fuzz rabbit hole in a big way and this one is definitely going on my shopping list, thanks Andy!
Hello mate. This fuzz surprised me! I didn’t expect to enjoy it so much
Nice.
cool video ...my favorite fuzz at the moment ...every tone is usable 😉
I absolutely agree. It’s one of my favourites too
@@TheGuitarGeek as you said, a lot fuzzes have only one or two sweet spots ...FZ-1W every setting is a sweet spot 😉
Possibly my favourite dog fuzz, it’s joined my board with several untameables. I normally love the unpredictable vintage style stuff, but I’m getting really cool sounds with this. Might actually be nice to have 2…
What is a dog fuzz? I saw another comment say it, as well. Not familiar with the term.
Hello what guitar is this with the p 90's ?
Hi, anyone knows the brand guitar's? Thanks
This Fuzz is the Goat, I’m loving it. Never been much a of a Fuzz person but this just seems perfect can go from mild to wild.
Not overbearing if you don’t want it to be.
Also Dog Fuzz
one of the best fuzzes ever.
@@TheGuitarGeek agreed and so good that it’s Boss
Big sounding tiny geetar, would like to hear this fuzz with a tele style geetar
👍👍 up for the Draculabyte t shirt
Dogfuzz, delicious K9 tones for Friday! Cheers Andy!
What strat did you play in this video. Dog fuzz should be a pedal name.
I recently got this pedal and dig it but how are you all attaching this to your boards? Unlike old Boss pedals there’s not enough space inside to flip the backplate and of course nothing sticks to a Boss pad. Anyway let me know your technique
There is a thing called a StompTrap. I like them
Ok, even though I’ve been playing for 50+ years, I’ve only recently begun to like fuzz. Ordered my FZ-1W today.
But I gotta ask, even at the risk of sounding like a noob - what the heck is dog fuzz? I know germanium and silicon, Fuzz Face and Big Muff ( the endless iterations of each), and I’m even vaguely familiar with the Tone Bender and the Shin-Ei, but I admit that I’m at sea over dog fuzz.
Well .... Boss is offending and annoying all the "cork sniffers" again 👍 ... great pedal (the Boss compact format is just my fav. too)!
Fuzz was invented to make a Guitarist emulate other big band instruments ... but nowadays it's more like a wtf ... juts keep going 😛thingie
I've traded in the "W" for + 4 and got the FZ-5 which is is a less smooth more "make my ears bleed" thingie ... and it will make all cork sniffers hide and scream in agony ...
The FZ-1w wasn't avail last autumn ...but it defo. is on top of my "next one to buy whenever there is 200€ burning in my pocket!
Thanks a lot for sharing this great pedal!
You won’t be disappointed when you get it.
Hi Andy
First of all, thank you for your great and informative videos.
I started playing guitar again a year ago and this time I'm also taking lessons to get it right.
Because I play at home I use AmpliTube 5 Max. Of course I would like to have a proper amp and pedals at some point.
My question: Can I connect pedals to my interface and use them with AmpliTube?
That would make it easier for me to switch sounds while playing.
Greetings from Augsburg Germany
Servus Linus! Welcome to guitar! I’m glad I can help you out. Yes you can connect pedals to your interface and integrate pedals with amplitube. I’ve been meaning to make a video on this so I’ll get it done asap
@@TheGuitarGeek Thank you for your quick response. Then I will be patient and wait for your video.
So my wish for a pedalboard is still fulfilled 😂😎
Fog duzz, finally a decent sounding fuzz thank you Boss
A year late, but tell me, have you played the FZ-2
@@adammercy3588 I’m still not proficient in fuzz, I guess I’m a overdrive/ distortion guy. Unless there’s a dropped octave then I get lost in the fizzely sputter of a fuzz.
Dog Fuzz…this sounds like a great consolation prize for those of us who weren’t able to get our hands on the TB-1W.
yeah, it's certainly a killer fuzz
This or shell out a chunk of change for a FZ2?
Very very different fuzzes. Maybe… this and a behringer sf300. I have a boss fuzz shootout coming in about a week if that helpsn
Soon the 50k club man rock on!
Yes!! It’s coming around quickly. I’m very excited
Got to love that dog fuzz tone.
"It's causing me to noodle"
What better compliment could be given to any pedal?
This fuzz is far more satisfying than dog fuzz tbh. The looks alone draw me in and the tones are right up there with the best fuzz sounds!
Better than dog fuzz! Wow, quite good then 🤗
@@TheGuitarGeek I've grown to dislike dog fuzz when it's turned up in used pedals that I've bought 😾 but no shade to dogs at all 😻
This pedal seems to deliver a pleasing, enjayable sound like a tame dog fuzz. But which fuzz would be your dire wolf counterpart?
For me it would be something from JPTRFX
I like that... a dog fuzz, rather than a cat fuzz. Thanks for posting from sunny NSW.
Never really been into Fuzz for the very untameable nature in general. Dog Fuzz seems to give me as much ‘bite’ as I can ‘tame’ and ‘paws’ing for a second look.. 😎👍🇦🇺
I can tell ya right now that it's sick! Although I do gotta say. The much cheaper super over drive SD1 boss light yellow pedal is something I like a lil tiny bit more lol. Just my opinion. I know it's even hard to compare since over drive vs fuzz is a thing but whatever lolz. And you can find that pedal for like 30-50 bucks. About 80-100 for a modded one that comes with tube screamer stuff. Pretty sick. Get one of those if you ask me.
As for this silver fuzz pedal? As good as it is. About 200 bucks kinda sucks lol. You gotta really want it. I got it on a crazed impulse purchase. But I'm quite the silly person : / lol.
Good chance this pedal will be worth about 300 to 500 bucks in about 10 years after holding onto it. We'll see : )
Get it fig fuzzy
I got it : ) and I LUV it!
But I also gotta say... If your boss pedal says WUZAH! on the front of it, Then you're good : )
Amen!
It’s a nice fuzz but the boss tone bender is better ;)
Uhhggg… I have the FZ-5…. Do I need this????
Same here, struggling vs gas for the Fz1w for a year now. Totally fine w FZ-5 (the real most-versatile-fuzz-on-the-market, any place on fx chain, 3 types, twekable and well priced). Did you buy the w?
"tone animals" 🤠
I like it sounds great and no wet farts in a cathedral sounds id try it for blues and Psychobilly
Ordering this dog fuzz today!
Woof!
I'd grab one but $200 when I have a million fuzz pedals is not wide. However, I have all cat fuzz and could use a dog fuzz to tame the beast.
its not cheap but it is a forever fuzz
I sold my cat fuzzes to get the dog fuzz and it’s way more pleasing to have a tameable tone. Hope that helps
Dog fuzz loved it
Dog Fuzz, It sounds better than the fuzz you get from the katana... I have got away with not using pedals in the past but this one looks like a must purchase for me. Thanks for the great vid
Boss pedal is dog fuzz amazing 😍
Woof!
It looks and sounds good. Dog fuzz
What’s a cousin fuzzer? Sounds risqué 🤣
I hate you! Why do you always make me spend money? Great review!
A real fuzz should clean up with guitars volume
I'm more a catFuzz person myself
Whaaaaaaaattt???? 😂
Dog Fuss 😌
😂🤘
I think I like dog fuzz
Fuzzins lol
😂❤️
Tamed tone animals ... so not for the ones who like to shed/fake blood on stage like Gene Simmons 😵💫
Dog Fuzz!
Woof!
this video just reminds me how much i hate fuzz pedals 😂🤦
Dog Fuzz
Woof!
@@TheGuitarGeek ha ha down boy
I do not need a fuzz. I do not need more fuzz. Please do not make more fuzz video :-) Dog fuzz.
Hahaha…. But if you did… this one wags it’s tail
Dog Fuzz
