The Fuzzlord FW70 Fuzz is a compact fuzz pedal from Fuzzlord Effects, an Oregon builder whose range also includes the Fuzzlord FU-2. It is built around two voicing toggles, one that switches the EQ between Superfuzz and Big Muff style voicings and one that changes the diode clipping, plus a boost stage for extra saturation. It lists for $225.00 USD as of 22 October 20261.
The controls
The FW70 keeps its main panel simple: a fuzz control, a level control, and a boost, with the two toggles handling the voicing choices2.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| FUZZ | Control the amount of brutal fuzz2 |
| LEVEL | Control the overall output level2 |
| BOOST | Add an additional transistor gain stage boost and more output/saturation2 |
| Left toggle | Switch between Superfuzz and Big Muff EQ voicings2 |
| Right toggle | Switch between silicon and germanium/LED diode clipping2 |
The two toggles are where the pedal's range comes from. The left toggle changes the tone shaping between two well-known fuzz EQ approaches, Superfuzz and Big Muff voicings. The right toggle selects the clipping: Fuzzlord describes it as a choice to "Harness the raw power of silicon diode clipping for razor-sharp aggression, or switch to the germanium/LED mode"2.
Power and switching
Fuzzlord specifies a 9V center negative 2.1mm isolated power supply for the FW70, which draws 30mA2. The maker's page does not list battery operation, so a dedicated isolated 9V output is what to plan around.
Switching is true bypass with soft switching, which Fuzzlord describes as delivering "Seamless transitions with true bypass soft switching"2. Soft switching means the footswitch is an electronic switch rather than a mechanical one, and in true bypass the pedal's circuit is removed from the signal path when it is off.
Size and availability
The FW70 measures 120 x 94 x 42.5 mm, which Fuzzlord describes as compact and pedalboard-friendly2. It is offered in purple or orange2. Fuzzlord's returns policy on the product page is returns accepted within 3 days of delivery, with the buyer paying return shipping2.

Questions
Is the Fuzzlord FW70 true bypass?
Yes. Fuzzlord describes the FW70's switching as seamless transitions with true bypass soft switching, so the pedal passes your guitar's signal untouched when it is off and uses soft-touch footswitches rather than a mechanical click switch.
What do the two toggles on the FW70 do?
The left toggle switches between Superfuzz and Big Muff EQ voicings, changing the character of the fuzz's tone shaping. The right toggle switches between silicon diode clipping and a germanium/LED mode, which Fuzzlord describes as the difference between razor-sharp aggression and the germanium/LED option.
What power supply does the Fuzzlord FW70 need?
Fuzzlord specifies a 9V center negative 2.1mm isolated power supply. The pedal draws 30mA, so a standard isolated output handles it, but the supply should be isolated rather than a daisy-chained connection.
Does the FW70 take a battery?
The maker's product page specifies a 9V center negative 2.1mm isolated power supply and does not list battery operation, so plan on using a dedicated isolated 9V supply with this pedal.
What colors does the FW70 come in?
Fuzzlord lists the FW70 Fuzz in two colors: purple and orange.
