It’s a copy of the Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz, which is a Superfuzz/FY-6 circuit but with added active EQ and more volume, and a clean boost mode.
The Boss sells for £150-£200 now, and is definitely better-built. The Behringer is about £25 new!
If you want a straight FY-6, the Wattson Superfuzz is the most accurate I think - now renamed Classic Fuzz for legal reasons… which obviously don’t bother Behringer. I found the vintage-accurate casing a nuisance though.

ive heard about the Wattson, seem very hard to find. But yes, not overly keen one the OG superfuzz enclosure shape either.
@Bbill335 good suggestion ive never heard of that but i’ll check it out.
any more i should ponder?
I had one for a while - it's brilliant. Very versatile. This is the blurb from the SS/BS website:
the buzzz keeps the standard superfuzz sounds – a scrambled and clangy fuzz with pronounced upper octaving and lower harmonics/sub-frequencies – and adds additional controls to access milder dirty boost and drive tones, gated sputter and low buzz-tones.
The Jack socket is a bit annoying as the patch cable keeps coming out from time to time, but if I cared that much I could just put a cable tie around it.

What he said!!! I used to have an FZ2 that I (stupidly) sold for waaaay too little - but that's another story...
Very flimsy though so I wouldn't gig it though!
It basically nails that sound- Pete Townshend played a Shin Ei on Live at Leeds apparently. There's a bit in the My Generation medley where he's playing Sparks, and it sounds like the apocalypse- that Behringer nails that sound.

i own and love many cheap pedals, but none of them have to be reinforced with elastic bands!
The Ss/Bs buzz and Reuss seem great, but got a feeling i’ll have a very hard job finding either for sale atm.
There doesnt seem to be a great deal of mid - priced readily available options in the UK
