FUZZ OFF! | Boss "Fuzz FZ-5" VS Fredric Effects "The Dresden Synth Fuzz" | Board Or Bin

In today's video, Bruce and Sam are having a modern fuzz off! They are comparing the Fuzz FZ-5 by Boss and the Dresden by Fredric Effects.
Welcome our new show "Board Or Bin" where we test pedals against one another, in order to get the ultimate guitar tone and build the Golden Pedal Board.
Only one of these pedals will make it to our mighty Golden Board. The other one will go in the bin.

The Boss sounds amazing! Im actually buying one now!! haha

[@jinjxmusic]

Thank you for posting this video. I'm going to buy the FZ5. A lot of cork sniffers hate the COSM though I have a lot of boss pedals and I really love most of them. Hearing the strat and the "Hendrix" style playing was wonderful though it sounded killer with the Lester too. Hell, I may buy this right now! Thanks again.

Is the competition still going?

[@chrisbrodbeck1961]

keep em both, could do some really after hours stuff with dres!

[@gdo6927]

I loved your playing and I enjoyed the video, but I can’t help feeling you didn’t give the Dresden as much time as you could have.
That Bassman sounds superb too!

[@SamBellGuitar]

Thanks G D O, much appreciated! The bassman is superb! Maybe we can address the Dresden again in a future episode alongside another cool fuzz box!?

[@gdo6927]

Thanks for the reply. Also send me all those binned pedals and I’ll build my own sub-par board 😜
