Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-M

The Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-M - A Vintage-Inspired Fuzz with Modern Versatility

Legendary Fuzz Pedal Heritage

The Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-M carries the legacy of the original 1962 Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-1, the world's first fuzz pedal. Immortalized by the Rolling Stones in 1965’s "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," this classic sound shaped rock and roll history. Now, Maestro brings that iconic sonic character into the present, delivering an all-analog fuzz experience that pays tribute to the past while offering new possibilities for today’s players.

All-Analog Circuitry and Dual-Mode Flexibility

Designed for tonal adventurers, the Fuzz-Tone FZ-M features an all-analog signal path and a cleverly integrated Mode toggle switch. Whether you're chasing the raw, biting character of the FZ-1 or seeking a thicker, more saturated modern fuzz, this pedal has you covered. Its true bypass switching ensures your clean tone stays intact when the effect is disengaged, while the illuminated Maestro logo lets you know when the fuzz is ready to roar.

Intuitive Controls for Total Tone Shaping

With its simple yet powerful three-knob layout, dialing in your perfect fuzz tone is effortless. The Attack control governs the amount of fuzz, while the Tone knob lets you sweep from bright and raspy to warm and wooly textures. The Level control ensures you can push your signal well beyond unity gain when desired, making the FZ-M as much a boost pedal as it is a fuzz machine.

Rugged Design for Reliable Performance

Built with durability in mind, the Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-M is housed in a sturdy chassis ready for years of gigging and recording. It features true bypass switching, operates on either a 9V battery or standard 9VDC regulated power supply, and its input jack smartly doubles as the on/off switch to preserve battery life. The bright LED bugles within the logo offer both style and functional visibility on any stage.

Pre-Owned with Box and Manual Included

This Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-M is in very good condition, showing only very light external wear. It works exactly as intended and comes complete with the original box and manual, making it a fantastic opportunity to add a piece of fuzz history to your pedalboard.
