Description

Awesome sounding fuzz based on the 1962 Maestro FZ-1 Fuzz Tone. Like new with original box.The Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-M is a modern, all-analog fuzz pedal that pays tribute to the pedal that started the entire effects industry: the original Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-1.The pedal's design focuses on offering two distinct generations of fuzz in one box for maximum versatility.Core Concept: The Fuzz-Tone LegacyInspiration: The primary inspiration is the Maestro FZ-1 Fuzz-Tone (introduced in 1962), made famous by Keith Richards on the Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" riff. The FZ-1 was a germanium transistor-based circuit known for its buzzy, thin, brass-like tone.Design Philosophy: The FZ-M (the "M" stands for Maestro) is part of the brand's relaunch by Gibson and is designed to capture the spirit of those original pedals while adding modern features for reliability and versatility.Controls and FeaturesThe FZ-M has a straightforward three-knob layout augmented by a crucial toggle switch:Attack: This control sets the amount of fuzz or gain.Tone: This is a color control that adjusts the timbre of the fuzz, ranging from bright and raspy (treble-heavy) to warm and woolly (bass-heavy).Level: Sets the output volume. It has plenty of output available to boost the signal beyond unity gain.Mode Toggle Switch (Classic/Modern): This is the heart of the pedal's versatility, offering two distinct fuzz voicings:Classic Mode: Emulates the sound of the original vintage FZ-1 Fuzz-Tone. This tone is generally characterized as being:Buzzy and Thin: Sharp, raspy, and often gated.Vintage-Correct: Designed to capture the quirky, Germanium-based sound of the '60s.Modern Mode: Offers a thicker, more saturated, and contemporary fuzz tone. This mode provides more body, sustain, and generally more output to suit modern high-gain needs.Other Notable FeaturesAll-Analog Circuitry: Ensures a warm, organic tone and feel.Illuminating Logo: Features the distinctive Maestro logo with red, yellow, and blue bugles that light up when the effect is active, a nod to the vintage aesthetics.True Bypass: Preserves the integrity of the guitar's dry signal when the pedal is bypassed.Power: Operates on a standard 9V DC power supply (center-negative) or a 9V battery.
