Versatile and good sounding

I love how good this thing sounds with analog synths. I give it a solid 4/5. One star reduced because the case is made from plastic and also the bypass switch and pots are not of high quality. Otherwise I am very pleased.

Great little pedal

Amazing fuzz. The 2 fuzz modes both sound great even without considering the ridiculously low price of this pedal. The boost mode is also a great touch

Fuzz monster!

If you need a fuzz with a lot of low end, this is real fuzz. I recommend it to everyone who loves stoner, sludge and similar sounds!

Great pedal for very little money.

some good sounds can be found

seems to give better results with single coil pickups and cheap guitars. Excellent value. pedal switch on-off can be bit iffy, requires a good clean stomp.

Very nice, a perfect FZ-2 clone.

Excellent but loses a star for plastic construction, so has a shorter life expectancy if gigging a lot.

If only for bedroom use its a 5 star.

Overall a very good pedal

some of the cons:

when you switch to "boost" mode it gives off a big increase in volume, which scared me for a bit cause it was more amplified, next thing, i dont know if this is common in all pedals but it has reverse adapter wiring. I couldnt use my old 9V adapters. But i didnt fry the pedal, which is good

You need this pedal

This pedal is legendary, you get 2 drastically different fuzz sounds in a small box.

I use this for guitar but I also run tape loops through it for ambient stuff and it handles it all. With low gain it adds a warm fuzz but with high gain it is a beast! I pair it with the Nether Octaver for some really low fuzz lines

The colour of the pedal is a nice rusted orange making it stand out on the board too

Handling 5/5 because it works intuitively

Features 5/5 because of the eq and 2 fuzz options

Sound 5/5 you could probably put this in a fancy metal case and convince them its a rare boutique fuzz

Quality 4/5 it is plastic but it seems very durable - just don't jump on the thing

For the price I recommend buying a few of these, one for your own board and then the rest to give to your friends when they hear how amazing this pedal is!

Amazing fuzz pedal

Amazing tight fuzz sound in position 2. Plastic enclosure is good enough for home/rehearsal use but probably not enough for heavy giggling.

Boss Hyperfuzz FZ-2 for cheap!

It's great, I just wish it didn't have the built-in noise gate which removes all possibility for dynamics

Excellent Fuzz!

Super Fuzz pedal! At this price you simply cannot go wrong. I can get a range of tones and sounds from this little beast; for me Fuzz2 delivers that warm, classic fuzz I enjoy. I am a fan of Behringer pedals - always great prices and great quality.

I know some people say the pedals feel cheap - I think they are just fine and I do not intend to stamp on them as hard as I can, so the build is quite good enough.

I will continue to buy Behringer pedals.

Great fuzz!

This pedal is absolutely amazing! It gets very gnarly in the second position and sounds like pedals that are 10 times the price. Other than the plastic enclosure there really isn't any downside to this pedal. If you're a fan of fuzz, do yourself a favor and snag one of these!

Great fuzz for little cash

The behringer stuff is just the other B-word company for less money. They're great.

Must have pedal

Pros:

This is just a must have pedal. It sounds great has a lot of features, I especially like the grungy sound that you can get out of this.

Con:

Quality of the buttons are a poor.

Believe the hype

So maybe you've seen the JHS video, maybe you're on the lookout for a cheap fuzz pedal. In any case, you can't go wrong with this. It's 24€ (as of today, but it is worth so much more. Both fuzz modes can get you into any ball park, from Bleach-era Nirvana to Jack White to sleazy stoner. Maybe it doesn't give you the exact sound that more specialized pedals do, like the Siamese Dream sound of the Op Amp, but this pedal is so versatile you can do pretty much anything. There's also a third mode, a boost that I haven't used much because my amp doesn't really work well with boosts, but only the fuzz modes make the pedal worth it. It doesn't look as sturdy as boss pedals, true, but I'm not sure it makes a difference, especially if you don't move the pedalboard around a lot. So, yeah, get it now.

Budget powerhouse

By now it's universally known that this is a near-perfect replica of the BOSS FZ-2. I'd be tempted to say that "for the money" it's great, but honestly, if this pedal had a solid metal enclosure, I'm sure people would buy it at twice or three times the price without batting an eye.

Even with the plastic enclosure, it won't break or crack easily, so I wouldn't worry about that.

It's flexible, it sounds fantastic, and the two-band EQ is immensely useful for tweaking the sound to suit your pickups and amp perfectly. It's a no brainer if you like fuzz, and if you don't, this is a great place to start, since you get two classic fuzz sounds and tweakability for days. I've used mine in everywhere in the signal chain to very good effect. The scooped sound is great post-reverb for walls of sound, and the octavey/mid-pushed mode makes for a solid solo tone.

If you're thinking about it, grab it!

Amazing Sound, Cheap Quality Housing

This pedal is essentially a clone of the Boss FZ2 which itself is essentially a clone of the Univox Super-Fuzz. It sounds amazing and for the price it's a no-brainer!

The only negative thing I can say is about the cheap plastic construction. I am using this for practice and recording at home, so can be gentle with it. Would not trust it for gigging, I don't imagine it would stand up to much abuse (can't confirm though, just my feeling from bedroom use).

Regardless, I 100% recommend this pedal because the price is right and the sound is wonderful, so I can forgive the cheap plastic housing.

Great for the price!

This is basically a perfect clone of the boss FZ-2, if you want to know more about it and the sound go check the JHS's video on youtube. I really like the sounds, it has 2 variations and a boost so it's versatile.

The only downside is the materials and construction, it feels a little flimsy but it's super cheap. If the box breaks or something I'm just going to buy a metal pedal box and put the circuit inside.

If you are thinking about it just buy it. If you don't know if you will like fuzz just buy it. If you wanted to get a FZ-2 but can't afford it definitely BUY IT. Hope you enjoy!

Cheap but effective

A near perfect clone of the much sort after Boss FZ-2 Hyperfuzz. I have a number of boutique fuzz pedals and the sound from the SF300 beats most of them. Well worth the money.
