manual abstract
To make the best use of the unit, please read the instructions carefully. -Despite its compact size, this effect unit packs two kinds of fuzz providing characters that are quite different. It also provides gain boosting based on a discrete architecture. -While recreating the traditional fuzz sound, this unit also generates a distortion that could be described as contemporary and convivial. -Two tone controls allows the sound to be adjusted until you have precisely the sound you need. 4* OUTPUT INPUT 4- HVP€R Fuzz FZ-2 II3CJSS AC« BATTERY POWERED PANEL DESCRIPTION 1 AC Adaptor Jack Connect an AC adaptor ( BOSS PSA-120, 220 or 240 depending on the line voltage system in your country ) to this jack. * An AC adaptor allows long and secure operation without worrying about battery life. * Be sure to use a BOSS PSA-120, 220 or 240 adaptor.Use of any other adaptor may damage the device. 2 Check Indicator Lights up when the effect is ON, allowing you to confirm whether the effect is ON or OFF. * This indicator also serves as the Battery Check indicator.

The dislortion depth is increased (and sustains will be lengthened) as you move the knob to the right ( ”). [When GAIN BOOST is selected] Allows you to adjust the amount by which the gain is to be boosted.
