Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-1B Late 60's, Early 70's Guitar Pedal, Owned by Adrian Utley (Portishead)

A legendary Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-1B from the late 1960s–early 1970s, the iconic pedal that shaped generations of guitar tone. This particular unit carries genuine provenance: previously owned and played by Adrian Utley of Portishead, the pioneering trip-hop outfit whose dark, cinematic soundscapes defined 1990s alternative music. The FZ-1B remains one of the most sought-after fuzz pedals in vintage gear circles. Its thick, saturated distortion and responsive dynamics made it a studio and stage staple for artists across rock, blues, and experimental genres. The germanium circuitry delivers that unmistakable warm, organic fuzz character that modern pedals struggle to replicate authentically. A rare opportunity to own a piece of alternative music history with direct lineage to one of the most influential producers and guitarists of the modern era. Authenticity Verified.
