ZVEX Effects Vexter Fuzz Factory Guitar Effect Pedal
Fuzz Factory “Vexter Series”
The Vexter Fuzz Factory is identical in construction to the newest hand-painted Fuzz Factories, including a DC power jack and on/off LED indicator. Because it is hand silk-screened instead of hand-painted, we are able to offer it at a somewhat reduced price!
This is 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, please don't hold me to it. They are controls for various operating levels and biases, and basically shape you a personalized fuzz.
VOLUME:
Output level.
GATE:
Squelches noise after end of sustain. Turn to right to eliminate squeals, hiss and buzz, stopping just as they disappear, or use to tune in exact feedback pitch, if you're that kind. Turning to left opens gate.
COMPRESS:
Adds attack characteristic when turned to left, which gets softer to right, and suddenly pinches tone when all the way right. Also use to tune in fat feedbacky fuzz, if you're that kind. Lower the Stability and see what happens to this control.
DRIVE:
Increases distortion when used as a "normal" fuzz, and adjusts feedback pitch and tonal thickness, if you're that kind. This control becomes meaningless when Compress is all the way right
.
STABILITY:
Use all the way right. Do not attempt to adjust this control below 2:00, unless you like your fuzz soft and squishy. Use to control feedback pitch. (Did I say that already?)
WARNING
: Many "incorrect" settings on this pedal squeal. This may annoy the faint-hearted. If you use the example settings, you won't get hurt. I don't want to see anyone hurt. Unless you're that kind. Don't forget to memorize or write down your favorite settings
.
GREENNESS:
Yes, folks, like all Z. Vex pedals, it's as low current as possible, extending battery life so long... I have never changed the battery in the prototype (3 years). 'On' current is less than 3 mA... compare to the Tube Screamer (of course an entirely different animal) at almost 40 mA.
ARTINESS:
Z.Vex “Vexter Series” effects are hand-polished aluminum, hand silk-screened in two colors and hand assembled. They are produced in small batches by umm, elves.

This ZVEX Effects Vexter Fuzz Factory Guitar Effect Pedal comes with a free
JRR Pedals BBD Analog Flanger Pedal
. The BBD Flange uses a genuine analog Bucket Brigade Delay chip to create its flanging, chorus, rotary, and ring mod effects, the same chip used in vintage analog chorus pedals such as the Ibanez FL9 that it is based on.
The BBD Flange provides a wide array of time modulation effects thanks to its Manual knob, which sets the center delay time. All the way up, it is a rich, jet-like flanger. In the middle, it is a lush chorus. All the way down, it is a modulation delay. Ring mod effects can be accomplished by turning the Rate knob all the way up, modulating your sound with an audio frequency oscillator. The Width knob sets the size of the oscillation, from a slight quiver to a synth-like vibrato. The Regen knob sets the delay feedback to intensify the effect. The Regen knob can also be made to self oscillate when turned all the way up, an effect only found authentically in true analog flanger pedals.
The BBD Flange features true bypass switching. It does NOT run on batteries and must be used with a standard 9V power supply. Any 9V power supply made for pedals will work.
