ZVEX has created a true fuzz monster with its Fuzz Factory. With NOS Germanium transistors from the 1960’s, this Fuzz pedal will startle and delight even the most skeptical and jaded overdrive junkie into utter disbelief. The array of fuzz tones available at the ZVex Fuzz Factory speaks to the obsessive nature of the tone gurus crafting these marvelous pedals. Not content to merely produce yet another fuzz pedal in an already over-saturated fuzz world, the folks at ZVex have created a fuzz pedal of astounding quality and unprecedented versatility. This pedal is very user friendly, with a relatively simple knob layout, but don’t be deceived by the lack of toggle switches or dual switching. With the extra features of the Zvex Fuzz Factory, any and all fuzz tones are available to you with some measured experimentation. And all of these features are incredibly interactive with one another, creating a dynamic and organic overdrive sound that is truly remarkable. The volume knob is self explanatory, increasing or decreasing your guitar’s signal. The Gate knob controls the amount of noise and squeals at the end of feedback, allowing for some truly interesting after shocks in your playing. The Compress knob adds attack characteristic which can control the pinch and generate some awesome feedback. Use this Compress knob in conjunction with the Stability knob to begin to understand the true potential of the ZVex Fuzz Factory . Oscillating and nasty, these features will make you feel as if your guitar signal has suddenly found a will of its own, and is attempting to strangle itself while fighting a downed power line. The Drive knob will increase the distortion level, and when turned fully clockwise, will offer heapings of compression. The ZVex Fuzz Factory is for the fuzz aficionado who craves some extra nasty delight and likes to experiment with truly original and creative sounds deep into the night. There are innumerable fuzz tones on tap with this extraordinary pedal of astounding quality. The interactive nature of the knobs on this fuzz machine will really open up the doors of overdrive creativity for the musicians who consider themselves noise makers and earth shakers. Some of the players who have punched the clock at the ZVex Fuzz Factory include John Frusciante, J Macis, Nels Cline of Wilco, and the Flaming Lips. As with all ZVex pedals, they are hand wired and hand painted, so each stompbox is unique and a true expression of its creator, Zachary Vex. Unleash your inner trouble maker with the ZVex Fuzz Factory for some heavy duty industrial noise making.
