ZVEX Effects Fuzz Factory Vexter

Fuzz pedals can sometimes be finicky, sputtery and strange, and that’s not always what you need…but when it’s EXACTLY what you want, look no further than the ZVEX Effects Fuzz Factory Vexter. One of their most beloved pedals, this classically un-classic fuzz takes you to the breaking point of musical sanity, and then shoves you right over. We’re excited to check this one out, as I’m sure you are, too…let’s do it!!

The Fuzz Factory is packed with knobs that let you control everything from tight, radically fuzzy sounds that gate off instantly when you stop playing to intermodulating oscillations that fight for control of your guitar as your notes decay. You can easily conjure up shortwave radio sounds, ripping velcro and octave-like fuzz. A five-knob fuzz using two new old-stock sixties germanium transistors, the circuit is not modeled after any classic fuzz design, but should have been around when Leary was still lucid. Although the five knobs are named for the parameters over which they seem to have the most control, they are controls for various operating levels and biases, and basically shape you a personalized fuzz.

We’ve loved checking out the wild effects from ZVEX over the years, and are stoked to get our hands on one of their most famous creations in the Fuzz Factory. If you want tame, run-of-the-mill drives, distortions and modulation, then this company might not be for you. If you love experimenting with sounds and turning lots of knobs, you’ll love everything they make. Thanks again to ZVEX Effects for sending this beauty our way – be sure to check out their website, and don’t sleep on our demo video below, cheers!!
