Boss ROD-10

[Baltar]

This was the first dist./O.D. box I ever owned.  4 band EQ, mast. vol, and the Boss Fuzz in it too.  Kinda a cool box about the size of a car stereo.  The one thing that sucked is that you couldn't switch between OD/Dist/Fuzz w/ yer foot.  Anyone else own one?  There's two of em on ebay for around $100 US.  It's from the 80's and I assume that it's the coveted Electric Wizard Boss Fuzz circuit.  Gave mine away 13 years ago.

that's pretty awesome. i'm sure you could rig up a way to switch between the fuzz/od. but i wonder how practical that would be?

Yeah, it was a really decent first dirt box, but there's more than a few pedals that have footswitchable OD/Fuzz.  Black Cat is one of them.  Just wanted to throw this up on the board as a posible hidden gem.  I know a lot of guys on the old board we're really hot for that early Boss Fuzz circuit.  $100 is a good deal for 3 boss pedals and a decent EQ thrown in.

I dunno... The FZ-2 Hyperfuzz is from the mid-90s so I doubt it's the exact same but might be close. If I were a betting man, I'd bet it'd be closer to the Fuzz I setting on that thing rather than the Electric Wizard/Fuzz II setting.

I think you're right, the manual from Boss says 1986.  There's just one fuzz setting on the ROD-10, so that must be it.
