Fuzz-Tone became a must-have accessory for guitarists everywhere and launched the pedal craze that continues right up until today. Other Maestro fuzz pedals followed the original FZ-1, including the FZ-1A in 1965, the Robert Moog-designed FZ-1B in 1968, and the 70s era FZ-1S, MFZ-1, and BB-1 Bass Brassmaster.

Speaking of the 70s, it was the era when effects really started to gain widespread popularity with musicians in general and guitarists in particular and Maestro was in the thick of it, offering several classic units, including some models that were designed by the legendary Tom Oberheim. Tom was responsible for both the first Ring Modulator pedal (the Maestro RM-1), and the Maestro PS-1, the first Phase Shifter pedal.
