ZVex Fuzz Factory Review
OVERVIEW
The Vexter Fuzz Factory from ZVex is a 5-knob fuzz pedal housed in a hand-polished aluminum case. Although the circuit found in the ZVex Fuzz Factory pedal isn’t modeled on any one particular classic fuzz, it delivers fuzz tones which sound striaght out of the 1960′s.
FEATURES OF THE ZVEX FUZZ FACTORY FUZZ PEDAL
Made with 2 new old stock ’60s germanium transistors
Hand-silkscreened, hand-polished aluminum chassis
Controls
Gate: Dial the gate to the right to reduce and eliminate any unwanted squeals, hiss, and buzz.
Compress: When dialed to the left, the compress control adds attack characteristics which get softer to right, and suddenly pinches tone when dialed all the way right. Also tunes in fat, feedbacky fuzz. Lower the Stability and see what happens to this control.
Drive: The drive increases the distortion when used as a “normal” fuzz and adjusts feedback pitch and tonal thickness.
Stability: Use to control feedback pitch. This is one of the more accute controls so it will take some patience and experimentation to set it to your liking.
SOUND
The ZVex Vexter Fuzz Factory pedal is a very versatile fuzz pedal and covers an array of sounds from vintage fuzz like Jimi Hendrix through modern artists such as Muse. In terms of how the fuzz pedal actually sounds, the Vexter Fuzz Factory can create anything from squashed nasal tones, to chewy, rich fuzz, and lo-fi squeals and feedback. On top of that, it can also control factors such as the oscillation and the feedback pitch/intensity.
The Fuzz Factory also has some gain boost to it to ensure that (unlike some other fuzz pedals) your signal doesn’t disappear once you’ve stepped on the pedal.
At first the Fuzz Factory pedal may seem a little loud however once you know how to tame those bizzare sounds you’ll fall in love with this pedal!
