Ibanez FZ7 Fuzz

Fender Tele, Fender Champion100 amp, a dozen effects board.
Bought this pedal looking for that fuzz sound because what do I know about overdrives.
Basic Boss style Pedal with those cool tonelock knobs and a 'damage switch' which is nice.
Plenty of Fuzz and volume on this one, good size, good weight, good color.
This pedal was cheap enough for me to buy so I went with it and was never dissapointed enough to wanna sell for another, Had to learn to use it as it isnt made for power chord chugging (Ive owned this pedal before and got rid) Whats good about it does what its supposed to with added grit or something to me is what makes it stand out from other fuzz's.

"Excuse me sir, I want to test the fiouzz there ..."
"Then what?"
"The feuzz, the fuzz, the fiouzz?? There"
"Ha, you want the fauzz"
the only problem is how to pronounce a fuzz that damn word!
very solid, gooooooooddd

UTILIZATION

Nothing could be simpler 3-button and voila you're done, even simpler supplement damage amps (for a strange noise amplifiers has taken a hit) 10% or 100% is no picture!

SOUND QUALITY

..... PFFFFFF bofff, not enough power not enough kwwiwiwiwiwipprtrtgguuuoooruuuu ... prrrrrrrrprprrrrrprprrrprp too, the sound is too bad I have to play on the mic and if acute enough to punch a nan pedal pretty average, finally saw its price not expect the apotheosis!

OVERALL OPINION

Cheap, not too complicated, but to make good riff, like manic depression or satisfaction, if not level agreements I know its not ring. For the price it is a pedal that does not sound amazing but audible ... at least with a good amp ... a normal fuzz ...

Maid fuzz, sympatoche ...
It's an analog pedal I think ... 'Will check.
In any case, the knobs allow a broad range of sounds (quoique. ..) while remaining in grunge. Knob with the "drive" at the bottom, one can even venture into the metal drooling, which is stain, very heavy and nag.
Two connectors jack (in / out), the three knobs push-push (retractable option sympatoche and useful during a shoot, it does not goes wrong), a small switch to the intensity of the "damage" . I talk about it further.
As you can imagine for you, it's a pedal, so no mount kit possible.
Metal box, footswitch pedal shaped metal, the cavity is made of metal. In short, the stocky, with two springs underneath. Do not hesitate, you can shoot in, it collects many small ...

UTILIZATION

Honest, I could buy out sounds to break down placos from my seller. 'Gaffe anyway, deposit it in the first level of graduation, even on a 10W ...
Three knobs, therefore, the "level" to set the volume at the exit, one tone knob (all the time in the factory setting: 5) and a knob "drive" to increase the gain.
In short, everything that is normal. We get it quickly enough the "destroy", whatever it takes, that task and that changes of his usual passing through your ear wax ...
Anyway, the thing most fun in the fuzz, the damage mod. Three positions: 0%, 10%, 100%.
The 0%, nothing, 10%, meaning that the sound starts to be very dirty, and finally 100%, the best of the best, like a Slash solo on a radio agony: the foot! In short, you set the level of "salisage" you want. A little broken up on the other hand, the switch is small.
What say? An easy access door (one push button to disengage the lock footswitch), an anti dérappant base and full metal. Brief. If with that you still have worries of weakness, we can not do anything for you ...
Note: the manual frankly useless.

SOUND QUALITY

A deconstructed to its possible harmonics very easy to pick up a potato ... And yet, I use a low-end scraper in the same brand *, ** as the amp, in short the trick, it sounds hollow void. Well, the first power chords, I did my amp roar of pleasure.
In short, that's good.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for some time, it rolls, it's like, I still keep.
What I love, but really the most is the damage mod! The highlight of the pedal, which stands out from the rest, and its roar capatité to an amp with a really cheap stuff.
Otherwise, bah I did not try many other models, but the ones I tested I was really disappointed, so ...
And € 51 for a pedal of this quality, it's really given, and it makes you want to do it again if we were to redo this choice. (Personally, this is to replace the fuzz of my Zoom 505 II).

For a pedal this price is a jewel!
I am a student of the school Malmsteen, and I gotta say I was amazed.
I intended to throw my peavey studio pro 112 per window (and my boss DS-1 and MT-2), when suddenly came this pedal before my eyes. Having only 70 € on me, I had the choice between this pedal and a microphone prodipe, I chose at random and ... It is a real jewel! It give a second life to my peavey: p

UTILIZATION

The manual, which manual?
For sounds, 3 knobs, not simpler

SOUND QUALITY

The desired effect is achieved ... no problem
I tested it with a jackson js30rr, and an amplifier 15watts Spider IV, I was initially not too hot, but when I plugged it into my peavey studio pro 112, I had it, I enjoyed.

OVERALL OPINION

Now 3 hours.
+: Metal box, price, quality
- ... for now, I see it. I will publish it if I slap on the hands in less than a month!

Distortion level, I have tried through ten ... Any bank AmpliTube, guitar rig, TH2 (whether at distos amp or pedals / rack). In "real" pedals, I tested a small multi korg to 60 € .. yuck, a multi vox tube that I quite liked the DS-1, MT-2 and metalcore.
This beautiful pedal attérir the 2nd row of my rankings after the multi vox: p
