A customer of ours walked up to a yard sale recently and found this pedal.  Some guys have all the luck!

The Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-1 was introduced in 1962 and achieved widespread popularity in 1965 after Keith Richards used it on the Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" — the opening riff of that record is the moment the fuzz pedal became a permanent fixture of rock music. After the stunning success of the original FZ-1, the design was revised as the FZ-1A in 1965, and then in 1968 the circuit was redesigned again — this time by legendary synthesizer engineer Robert Moog — using a nine-volt power supply and silicon transistors. This redesign was labeled the Maestro FZ-1B. 

The FZ-1B is a two-transistor silicon circuit running at 9V — a fundamentally different design philosophy from the germanium FZ-1 and FZ-1A that preceded it. Silicon transistors produce a harder, more defined clipping character than germanium — brighter, more aggressive, with a different harmonic texture. Robert Moog's, the man who would define the synthesizer, who understood signal processing and circuit design at the deepest level, applied those tools to the fuzz pedal problem in 1968 and produced the FZ-1B. The FZ-1 inspired many subsequent manufacturers who began to create other fuzz circuits — the Tonebender, the Fuzz Face, the Big Muff — all building on the commercial and sonic template that the Maestro established.  

This is the cleanest FZ-1B we have encountered. The wedge-shaped enclosure, original graphics, and all hardware are intact and correct. A piece of recorded music history in the condition it left the factory.

Adequate for our use.....
Format: Hardcover
The book arrived a week before expected and they were true to their evaluation that this was a used book in "acceptable condition". It was once a library book and has been well loved. Someone has taken contact paper to try to salvage the cover and binding. It looks rumply, but we were getting this for a 1 year old whose Dad is going to go to Heavy Equipment School for the next 4 years, so this will be a fine book for a little guy as the insides look fine.....I wouldn't have been happy if I'd wanted a new looking book, but the price was very reasonable. I think it was $3.99 for shipping and a penny for the book. SUCHA DEAL!

Great Book!
Format: Hardcover
We bought this book a year ago for our then almost three-year-old. He loves it. As does his older sister (8), and brother (6) and his younger brother (almost 2). It has held up amazingly well considering the amount or use and abuse it gets. I love that it tells actual names and functions. More than once we've seen a machine while driving around town, then come home and looked it up. Well worth the money.
