    In this video I compare the 90's Boss FZ-2 Hyperfuzz and Behringer SF300 Superfuzz pedals using riffs from Dopethrone by Electric Wizard.
    The Boss FZ-2 Hyperfuzz was produced from 1993 to 1997 as a modern take on the classic 70's Shin ei / Univox Superfuzz that utilized an active tone stack and provided three distinct modes of operation:
    Fuzz 1 - Vintage style, mids forward fuzz.
    Fuzz 2 - Modern style, bass heavy, mids scooped fuzz.
    Boost - Level control is disabled. Offers up to +24dB of gain with bass / treble controls remaining active.
    The Boss FZ2 pedal has continued to rise in popularity over recent years, mainly due to it's use by Jus Oborn of Electric Wizard and more recently Thomas Jager of Monolord, and used market prices have risen into the $200-300 range.
    The Behringer SF300 Superfuzz is a clone of the Boss FZ-2 Hyprefuzz pedal, enclosed in a cheaper, plastic housing, and is typically priced at $25.

    Aluminum enclosures aren't expensive. Get the behringer, put it in a new housing and maybe scan the board for parts that are cheap, then swap those out for new ones because the upgrades are cheap, too. Then fill a waterbong with paint the same color as your enemy's blood, pistol whip it and you have a classic, durable pedal with artwork that fits the sound.

      Aren't they just about identical boards inside most of the Behringer versions? I think Behringer does most of their own manufacturing in-house at their giant operation in China; combine that with the cheap plastic enclosures and they're able to sell essentially the same thing at a way lower price. That was my impression anyway--I might be wrong.

      Just as a follow up - pedal came - it's truly badass. It's got a plastic cover, but it has some serious weight to it - it's stable and it ain't going nowhere. I suppose if you don't smash it with your foot, it'll last a good while. For the money, it's actually built quite well. I'm running it through an Oragne Crush 20RT and yeah, it sounds heavy. I tried running a slight chorus after the fuzz and it makes a really nice wall of sound type of tone. I like it a lot, for 25 bucks there's just absolutely no reason not to get this pedal.

    Behringer never fail to surprise me... My friend has a Blues Drive clone by them and it sounds so phat in front of my Fulltone octave fuzz. I normally use my SD1 instead for that mids boost, so having both is kinda like options 1 and 2 on the FZ-2. Their budget synths are mad too

    From what I can hear in this video with headphones on(and from my point of view): the FZ-2 sounds a bit more clear in general and has a deeper bass sound. The Super Fuzz sounds a bit more compressed in a way that makes it less defined and more distorted and the bass isn't as present. Nevertheless I might be wrong

    the boss sounds a little extra wild in the super heavy sound, but with that being said i think the behringer pedal is just as good in the way it sounds more compressed, both pedals have the same tone however so i would look at the behringer as more of a quick buy live performance pedal where as the boss is probably more of an artifact pedal that would be better for recording purposes.

    8 years ago I got lucky and bought an FZ-2 on ebay for only 60$ with only a scratch here and there. it's still one of my most prized pedals. the tone sounds great especially on a bass guitar. out of all the fuzz pedals I've tried, the FZ-2 has such an angry growl that makes any riff sound Bone Crushing. I'm too worried about playing with it live through because I'm paranoid about losing it,
    so getting a Behringer does sound like a nice alternative.

    Both incredibly similar. Main difference I hear between the two is that Fuzz 1 and Gain Boost sound a bit dirtier on the Behringer, but Fuzz 2 (being as saturated as it is) at that level is completely indistinguishable between the two. That mode alone is worth WAY more than the $25 it costs, so it’s a great way to get into this tone if you don’t want to be irresponsible like me and have a ton of expensive FZ-2 clones in a drawer somewhere 😅
