Excellent alternative to the Boss FZ2.

Yes the enclosure is plastic. But as long as you don't jump on it, it will last. If it does break, it is dead easy to replace.

It sounds exactly like what you would expect. Try a blind test comparison between this one and the Boss on Youtube, the sound is the same.

Like many I bought this for my Doom need, that Electric Wizard tone and it does the job perfectly.

A great pedal for a great value.

Want Cheap and good? Buy it!

Dude, listen to me. Do you want a good Fuzz for almost no money at all..buy this fuzz. This is a clone of the Boss FZ-5 which is legendary. It sounds almost identical, and it costs five times less. There is only one thing that is kinda bad..and that is that its case is made of plastic. But trust me, for this kind of money, THERE IS NO PEDAL BETTER THAN THIS. Dude..buy it. You need it. It will MELT YOUR FACE OFF.

fantastic sensibly priced fuzz

this is the best fuzz for start for anyone, but also a very nice fuzz for experts

the sounds are very good but not as tweakable, i mean they have their sound and character

quality is good, the only thing i dont like much is the experience with the knobs... they are not much sturdy and confortable

I can recommend this pedal to anyone, the price is great and will deliver a lot of fun

For the price you can't go wrong

Right now Behringer is known for its affordable pedals that sound like other, famous and often expensive and/or discontinued pedals. The Super Fuzz is Behringers response to the suddenly super popular Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz, which can be found in the used market for several hundred dollars or euros. The SF300, despite being incredibly cheap, gets incredibly close to the FZ-2 in all of its 3 modes. So if you like the FZ-2, chances are you will also like the SF300.

But this type of fuzz is not for everyone: it's *not* Pink Floyd or the Rolling Stones. This is an insane, extreme, heavy fuzz that is better suited for more aggressive music such as stoner metal, just like the FZ-2 that inspired it and that was made into a modern classic by bands like Electric Wizard and Monolord.

The only downsides are that the pedal case is plastic (somewhat heavy duty, but plastic nonetheless) and that is not true bypass.

As an FZ-2 alternative it performs great, and at this price it's a steal. Like I said, this is a stoner metal fuzz, and if that's what you're into then get one before they run out.

Enjoying using it as a send for synths and drums. Sound is good and case although plastic is solid enough for me. For the money you might as well try.

YES.

Two different fuzz tones AND a boost?

For £20 +?

Superb value. I read a few people say its not cased well - it is. It may not be as sturdy as a lot of modern pedals but this isn't breaking on you.

Superb value for money.

Instant doom! Never mind the plastic.

This pedal basically has just two sounds, selectable by a switch, with the rest of the controls (Treble, Bass, Gain) being there for fine tuning. But I mean that in the best possible way, because those two sounds are usable right away. Both "Fuzz 1" and "Fuzz 2" modes each have a distinct flavour, and being able to switch and compare between them back and forth in an instant is real handy.

"Fuzz 2" has quite accurately been compared by others before me to the band Electric Wizard. I was quite stunned when first hearing it myself, considering the "Gain" knob was at minimum setting, and the guitar and amp I used were pretty much 'whatever'. But aside from just this one tone alone, you can go ahead and attain truly unique sounds of your own by stacking it up with other fuzz/distortion pedals for sometimes quite unexpected results.

In conclusion: If you're into stoner/sludge/doom guitar tones (and don't already own a Boss FZ-2, which this was based on), the Super Fuzz would be a perfect addition to your palette of distortion pedals ? and a very affordable one, to say the least.

Great for raw noise d-beat punk

I bought the pedal and i am surprised, it is just the thing i was looking for. It makes some pretty harsh noises which i like a lot. The fuzz 2 option is just brutal.

Plastic casing and cheap but do not let that put you off

This is a great pedal with some amazing distorted tones

this pedal is a beast - and if you are going for an over the top fuzz sound this is it!
