That's good for you, but we're talking about the FZ-2. It's not a shitty pedal, but it just doesn't work for riffing. The ring-modish tone this unit has is quite unique and I've never seen so much output with a booster, besides the fact that it actually has a 2-band EQ, opposed to the boosters you mentioned.
What are you talking about ... ? You do know it has a dedicated Booster mode, right? It's a clean boost with a 2 band EQ. Set the high and low at 12 O' clock and you've got a regular clean boost. How can that be unusable?
Weird. Well, I experienced the opposite. I always turned up the treble a bit and turned down the bass. Best booster I ever had. It was almost always on because of what it did to the amp it was in front of (old Fender Champ).
@DemoColorScheme I tested it with an engl Powerball, there it soundet bad .. but the amp reaaly liked to get boosted with an Dod250, my alltime favourite booster/overdrive.
I personally hate the FZ-2 ,, not just for metal use, i think its an extremely bad pedal :/..

People often forget its awesome booster. One of the best I've ever used and that's why I owned this pedal for a long time.

@DemoColorScheme To boost i use 3 different types of boosters
Clean: Zvex Super hard on
Overdrive: Mxr Microamp
Distortion (drive my overdriven amp into madness) Electro harmonix linear power booster
I build them myself, so i dont have to look on the price, every single booster costet around 25€ for me.

@DemoColorScheme i personally hate the FZ-2, yes it has high output, but the sound it produces is extremely unusable to use as a booster in my eyes.
You can add an EQ to every booster easily ;)
