Collision Devices FZ DIY Kit — Gated Fuzz / Distortion

Dive into the world of tone crafting with the FZ DIY Kit, a hands-on gated fuzz / distortion pedal kit that gives you the full experience — from soldering components to dialing in noise-crushing fuzz textures. Perfect for beginners and seasoned DIYers alike, this kit includes everything you need: PCB, components, enclosure, and step-by-step instructions + video guide.

At its core, the FZ is a hybrid between a classic fuzz and a distortion, with a gate behavior that allows for tight, aggressive textures as well as warmer, more controlled drive. Use it for rock, grunge, experimental noise, or anywhere in between. Settings toward the low‐gain side yield smooth, punchy overdrive; open it up for harsh, glitchy, gated fuzz madness. The FZ draws inspiration from vintage fuzz circuits (like Boss Tone designs) but pushes into more adventurous sonic territory using Collision Devices’ “Black Hole Symmetry” ethos.

Whether you want to build your own pedal or learn how analog circuits behave, the FZ DIY Kit is an immersive, tone-filled adventure.
