Naw, the HyperFuzz is an older analog pedal made by BOSS sometime around 1994-1996ish. It's a very odd Fuzz pedal in that it has a 60's style "fuzz face" like fuzz, and the other fuzz is more of a 70's Tubescreamer type deal, and a gain booster mode. I played one of these through an MIJ Jazzmaster when they were new, and that was probably one of my favorite sounds at the time from any fuzz pedal.
The current Fuzz they are making is apparently one of those new "digital" effect pedals with COSM modeling and so fourth, so no wonder why it sounds outta' whack, the pedal is not even a normal transistor/op-amp type fuzz like the Fuzz Factory. I tried one out and did not like it either, it does'nt have half the control of the HyperFuzz, and not even a third of the control and range of my Fuzz Factory. Plus being Boss pedals, both probably eat batteries like crazy, and are not true bypass.
Here's a pic of the difference between the HyperFuzz FZ-2 and the FZ-5 Fuzz
