The Fūzwami Fuzz is a fuzz pedal from Friday Club Pedals, designed by Jack DeVille. Pedal of the Day reviewed it in December 2016, and its reviewer set the tone for what the pedal is about: "Today's pedal is not just a fuzz, not just a distorter of sound, not just an eardrum blaster, but a little box of noise-"1

Controls
The pedal carries three knobs, each named for the job it does. The reviewer's read of them1:
| Control | Function | What the reviewer said |
|---|---|---|
| Boom | Volume | "there is so much on tap, you will not be able to handle it (most likely)" |
| Bang | Gain/Fuzz Boost-type of knob | "just adding more power into this super-box of sonic death" |
| Slice | Tone control of some type | a range that does not seem to be too huge |
All control descriptions come from the Pedal of the Day review1. The reviewer read the panel by ear and by eye, so the Bang and Slice descriptions are his interpretation of what the knobs do rather than factory specifications.
What it does to a sound
As a fuzz, the Fūzwami sits in the same family as other distortion and overdrive pedals, but the review frames it as an extreme take on the type. The Boom control offers what the reviewer called so much volume on tap you will not be able to handle it volume, and the Bang control pushes gain further on top of that1. The Slice tone control has a comparatively narrow range, per the same review1.
