The Behringer has one advantage : the 1.5 setting, it is kinda hard to do but if you move the switch in between the 1 and 2 setting you get a mix of the fuzz settings. When boss does a FZ2 waza they should totally include that
I actually preferred the Behringer for a lot of them.. Boss sounds somewhat "thinner" by comparison IMO (maybe people would call the opposite "muddy", idk)
On Fuzz 1 they sounded pretty different to me, but the Fuzz 2 was very close. I liked that gnarly Boss Fuzz 1 better (not $300 better!), but for wall of sound, they both do that second one great. And the boost is a nice feature.
Both great in their own way. Sometimes the boss wins sometime the behringer. With the pricepoint in mind i would go with the behringer all night long without thinking "mmmh damned maybe i would like the boss better but cant afford it." 👍
I only own the FZ-2, but I will say that it's a pedal that wants to get way too fizzy way too quickly (a problem with all Boss drive pedals, frankly) and Fuzz II is basically unusable because of how insanely scooped it is: it's got that sort of Metal Zone vibe of wanting to appeal to 14-year-olds wanting to get a sUpEr bRuTaL tone in their bedrooms but is absolute dog shit in a mix. It sounds like the SF-300 on Fuzz I has less mids than the FZ-2, which is a bit concerning, as pushing the mids is how you kinda get it to work. That said, it's my favourite fuzz pedal and potentially favourite drive sound ever - it's just temperamental. It's the sort of pedal where you find one or two settings and then stick with them forever because everything else sounds pretty bad.
The Boss FZ-2 was the pedal that turned me off from fuzz pedals for more than 20 years. Couldn't get rid of it fast enough. I'm much happier with my Fuzz Face mini's now!
@@TheToneLounge Yes indeed, it can be a beautiful thing for industrial tones though. I have the blue one and the turquoise (JH) mini FF's. Love them for slightly different applications!!

Maybe they will! Many seem to love those in-between modes.
I can verify this as I have owned both.
Also 2.5
Secret mode is where it's at babbyyy

Behringer did great with this unit. I ain't getting rid of mine, and I'm actually considering selling the BOSS lol

I think that the boss is especially overpriced. It's a great pedal, but not worth the asking price.
I think the hyper fuzz works better in the mix.
The fuzz face I like also. Have them both.
Fun Fact the behringer has five modes in all the first secret is hidden inbetween fuzz1and 2 and 2nd is between fuzz2 and boost!
Yeah, that makes it a hell of a bang for the buck!
I adore the boost on the fz 2. Sf300 is close for sure
Yeah, the SF300 is great.
Great video :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Have you ever tried a Super Fuzz style pedal with your bass rig?
@@TheToneLounge not yet, but I want to!!
It is a rather unique and heavy sound. It's definitely worth trying to determine if it would fit with your style and rig.
Oh, I do so love a bit of fuzz. And you do it so well. Thanks, what a treat! P.s.- I prefer the Hyper Fuzz.
I prefer the Hyper Fuzz on the Fuzz 1 setting. It's cuts through the mix a little better.
On heavy fuzz 2 they sound the same... but the behringer to me is a winner
I love hearing that! That means more money in your pockets.
@@TheToneLounge no not in the pocket... spending to more gear..... ;-)
will you make a video about blackstar studio 10 el34?
If I get my hands on one, then I will
@@TheToneLounge :)
Gnarly. Boost/heavy fuzz sounds identical imho
Yeah, they come so close that at one point I had to make sure I had exported the right audio files lol
I like the "character" of the boss better overall. I think your riffs sound more defined on it.
In Fuzz 1 mode I definitely hear more mids and a touch more definition.
@@TheToneLounge thinking about buying a berhinger collection though. So affordable!
Yeah, and they don't depreciate in value that much either on the used market.
@@TheToneLounge got a berhinger super fuzz.
Both great in their own way. Sometimes the boss wins sometime the behringer. With the pricepoint in mind i would go with the behringer all night long without thinking "mmmh damned maybe i would like the boss better but cant afford it." 👍
Do those Bshringer pedals get funky fizzy Loose boost over the. Time
Mmllllkkk
They do not.
You sold me on the SF300, quite a fuzz for $30.
Absolutely! You can't go wrong at this price point.
I love my Superfuzz but I’m still shocked to find myself preferring it to the Hyperfuzz here
Behringer got it right with the SF300!
i actually think the behringer sounds better
Especially on the 2 in between settings!
Funny how that works. Many prefer it to the original.
I'm one of the rare people who does not care for those in-between positions. I use Fuzz 1 almost exclusively with wither of these pedals.
@The Tone Lounge I'm a 2.5 guy, it's so ripping

It's such a specific sound, that if it's not your main thing, then you may not be pulling this one out very often.

A Super Fuzz circuit is an acquired taste. Which mini FF are you using?

Close enough for the cigar...🙂
I think so too
