Behringer SF300 Super Fuzz

Behringer · pedal

The Behringer SF300 is a fuzz pedal based on the Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz circuit, a JFET-based fuzz design from the mid-1990s known for producing thick, octave-influenced fuzz with three switchable character modes. Mode one delivers a standard smooth fuzz, mode two adds harmonic octave content for a richer and more complex fuzz texture, and mode three produces a high-gain wall-of-fuzz that borders on distortion. The FZ-2 circuit has a stronger bass response than many vintage silicon fuzz designs and remains a cult favourite among shoegaze, grunge, and heavy psych guitarists. The SF300 reproduces the core FZ-2 circuit at budget pricing.
