All user reviews for the Zvex Fuzz Factory Vexter

Analog Fuzz pedal with 5 knobs
Volume, Gate, Compress, Drive, Stability

USE

- At first it's true that it's hard because we do not yet know each knob.
do not hesitate to turn all the knobs in all directions voutrevez a sound that you please shortly after ...
(Zvex provides adjustments to its site)

SOUND QUALITY

So is that the happiness !!!!
a feedback, a drooling is dirty, a fuzz that comes from another planet !! russir can find the sound of a fuzz face .... etc and any many other like Fuzz / Overdrive ...
The MUUUUSSSSEEEEE !!!!!!

(Beware Tympanums ... and knob "Flight")

NOTICE GLOBAL

I have used it for 1 month then this is the top for playing MUSE, Jimmy Hendrix ... and you create a Fuzz your signature sound!
I tried the FZ-5 with boss and see anything !! The Zvex does better
The price quality ratio is good anyway ... 189 you have all the fuzz pedals of the earth and is assembled by hand in the United States and each pedal is numrot ...
with the experience I remake this choice without hsiter for me there is no mieuxx !!

Everything has already been said. Fuzz based on one side and its transistors Germanium AC128. It is a version of the very opposite.

UTILIZATION

Well say it is not very easy to use because all the knobs interact. So in one move changes the config of the other.

But we get a lot of sounds étonnants.Des larsens, the buzz, gruick ...

In short it is a creative tool, it is not really plug and play.

Those who want something simple without the fuss, this pedal is not for you

Attention, the volume is phenomenal! If it's too loud, is that you're too old!

SOUND QUALITY

Excellent grain. Very sharp anyway. We obtain the classical face, the fuzzy overdrive, big sound scratched ...

Its a really good base that can be qualified ... 1000 times! What versatility.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 years. I have since tried as much NITROGEN 21 jmb experience:

http://www.jmb-experience.com

And then slap a Fuzz Factory with its greasy!

So I now 2. Factory for a good larsener in acute and Nitrogen 21 for more musical side ...

This bug is exactly the same thing as the Fuzz Factory "normal" in terms of core technology: two germanium transistors, circuits, five knobs, bypass, everything is built the identically.
Except ... and has become trs INTERESTED, Zvex added to this MODEL SERIES on an attachment plug adapter (9V), an LED to see if the effect is Inrush (non-existent on the Fuzz Factory standard), and he parat they have even deleted a buzz dsagrable caused by the pedals!
And the best is that it is less sacrment CHRE (about one third less CHRE) that the normal Fuzz, the green, that of Bellamy! Why? Because unlike the "real" Fuzz green one, the Vexter, it is called, is produced in SERIES. But on this point would still prciser: it is always assembles by hand, hand polished, painted by hand, just all copies are identical, while each copy of the "real" silent single at any point ...

Tight deadlines, for much cheaper you can now have a more "comfortable" the bienttlgendaire Fuzz Factory Zvex home.
Quickly recall the technical specifications of the bte;
- Analog technoloqv germanium transistors
- Rglage of five knobs (volume, gate, compression, drive, stability)
- Between a jack 6.35
- An output jack 6.35
- A power adapter 9V standart
- A true bypass
- LED and a bonus!

For these improvements will and for the price decrease (less than 200, the reasonable frle), maximum score.

UTILIZATION

It comes to things srieuses.
Most explanations of the use of the Fuzz Factory normal hold the road well and allow to understand one essential thing: this machine CONTRL more by feel and intuition that the mthode "b mchant and you "like" I rgl on the knob 3 so I touch more, go to the neighbor, it will not move. " Wrong. On the pedals, everything is logical, actually. Just understand the principle of communicating vessels. I added a ct I lose the other, so to keep the balance, it must compensate. In practice, a given: if I go up the gain (drive), the gate will not be enough stopping the feedback, so I compensate by increasing the gate (or compress it as you wish). When one has understood, there's no reason we can not matriser the bte. Personally, it took me a few minutes the very first time to enter the operating knobs and send out little prs sound I wanted, so I n'tant not even a sp cialist of such hardware is far from being insurmountable. Provided a minimum we seek to understand ...

Then, for optimal (and mnager your back), the trick is to have the door hand pedals while playing ... Since it allows all the fancy sound, it is almost mandatory to be able to rgler while playing. So best is to fix carrment on the guitar. some clever Scotch pos is almost invisible, a TRS is good, and you can really get a hit! But we will talk about below ... Patience ...

As for the edition of the sounds, there's something to do! J'hsite say that it is easy given the reputable machine, but I would say it is ... I know, has come alone. The easiest to beginners is to keep the button "Stability" Basically, as has no problem with that famous modular feedback will it remain quietly at the back of his cave. "Gate" and "Compress" open bottom, the "Drive" not too lv it out of the Fuzz Factory sound almost clean, with a lightweight like overdrive crunch that is growing as we plays the peak of the right hand. If you go up the "Drive", started in hot pants, and it is not to say! "Drive" Basically, we s'aperoit same as al the ceiling is reached even play! Cool! "Gate" and "Compress" is the rguler for a while, quietly. No problem of ca ct l.
Now, for the adventurous, the most INTERESTED is to lcher wild animals contained in the pedals. And has just one thing: the button "Stability" you have been careful to always keep up, get at him a little! And you'll know what dmoniaque means ... A pure sound, anything. And trs quickly, we understand that it is enough to play on two of the five knobs for almost the entire range of fuzz sounds possible, although the little fuzz fuzz gras giga screaming and dchirant (race). After the "Gate" and "Drive" got its rgls, you can change the way the sound just by playing the "Compress" and "Stability". And l. .. is happiness!

The manual that came with the pedals, it prints a page of the website Zvex, page confirms the Fuzz Factory "Vexter Series". English course (not a problem for me), it contains some examples of rglages (presets) such as "Velcro fuzz" or "Radio fuzz" in short, a few bits of infinite possibilities the Fuzz Factory.
The site MRIT put into it a while, both for discovering the (fantastic) Zvex products in DMOS video for those who possdent a machine from home and want to understand with precision how it works. English.

SOUND QUALITY

To be effective, the effects of the Fuzz Factory are! It's guaranteed bill! The pedals come from another world ... It's pretty hard to explain, in fact ... It is both a fantastic fuzz pedals with his fuzz falling backwards (no, really, the fuzz of death), and at the same time making a machine espce unique sounds and often bizarodes ... By doing a little mumuse with my pedals (the pun is always laugh my CHRI), I found myself believing in me a great price folmule 1, or below a jumbo jet the landing gear, but also, more importantly, I believe the scne a concert of Muse, Bellamy's place, playing with the button Stab of Fuzz ... It's been exactly the same torture and his crooked before the guitar riff from New Born! So, the myth Bellamy takes a big hit! Pfff, I can do the same thing home! lol!

Namely, thus: the sound that comes out of the pedals, it's gross. And even the gross rev. Sound cut in the rock (k), a diamond at all polite, but rough, dirty limit. Although rglages can have a fuzz trs "soft", largely by reducing the "Stab", but this is not a intrt that the pedals. Away from l.
I prcise I say all this for his "non traitquot;: a relation to the pedals and pedals only. I have no other effect used to treat the sound between the guitar and the amp that the Fuzz.

OVERALL OPINION

Of the bomb, believe me! for those who love the sound of Muse (Origin Of Symmetry and on the Hullabaloo Live, among others), there's no photo, this is where you'll find ... for mtalleux and stuff like that (I have nothing against mtal, it's just that I play it), it may not be the best buy you can do, c is sr.

It's been a few days now that I use and I srement not finished drawing all the possibilities of the machine.
I will try to stay as neutral as possible: I do not advise nor the deprecated one. This kind of stuff, a must be a buy-passion. I knew this machine by heart even before the possder, force trans Zvex site and watch the test loop video. Tt or later I knew I would end up having my Fuzz Factory. It turns out that I had much more than tt what I thought ... To have a standard thank you my little Mandarin CHRIE who went dgoter me this jewel in Paris, in France the only store selling it, and surprised me with me the offer a few days ago! For all others who are not fortunate enough to have a girlfriend as fantastic as mine, you have to make the trip to Pigalle, and then ordered on the net ... Good luck.
The report begins qualitprix be INTERESTED. In any case much more than the "real" Fuzz Factory, limit expensive ...
DEFINITIONS In a choice I would do with his eyes closed. If I had lost the copy I was offered without hsiter, I would pay for another. This means ...

Fuzz pedal of good quality analog TRS uses including Muse Origin of Symmetry or in Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream I think. The only difference with the Fuzz Factory green and that is not painted by hand. Otherwise everything is hand made (box polishing, welding ...).
It smells really good work.

UTILIZATION

Well then, we must be honest: this pedal, it has a tendency to undergo it. We do not like the RULES you will, but as you can to what we understand of APRS operation. Zachary Vex says himself in the manual "not to ask questions about the role of potentiometers, as the name he has just described below corresponds to the parameter on which they seem to have the most influence." (Volume, Gate, Compression, gain, Stab). For example, turn up the gain makes the sound more muffled ... (So ​​I think this pedal sounds much better with a mic level output: a gain equal to one has more saturation and you do not lose treble).

It has taken a 9v adapter boss. But pile it works well too, it consumes only 3mA!

SOUND QUALITY

By the cons, it is standard (a requirement to connect to a good guitar with my pacifica 112 is not great, with my Cort G290 much better). Following the rglages was full of sound Different. Good one remains in the fuzz, but they are Varis and really good trs. The absence of a potentiometer of Tone lack a little, sometimes are acute earache. But as the base sound is good rev, so it can be to connect an equalizer INTERESTED behind to really get what you want.

You see the sound of Muse Dead Star? With the appropriate equalization, a Marshall amp, you can get a sound is closer enormment (sisi!). But we can make things quieter too ...

The button allows you to stab out of the strange whistling worthy of Matthew Bellamy. Funny 5 minutes. It's not often use it for musical purposes but may be other people's so ... It's better to avoid too long with ca mumuse to not put you on your life back ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 9 months. pacifica with my 112 I regretted my purchase, the sound was too rough. Since I have my Cort G290 redcouvre this pedal is the one where I had the largest amlioration its changing guitar, it became genial. So: Connect a good guitar on it!!

When you open it, you say "what is the resistors 10-15, transistors and capacitors that I pay $ 180? (I bought it on musictoyz.com). Yeah but it's all handmade, in Boss pedals ca not be much better, and I'm not really sure that the bosses are handmade and individually tested them ... So the report quality prices is a priori better than the pedals produced in large SERIES (helping the dollar rate)

So if you want a pedal with an original and trs good sound, it is an excellent choice!

Okay so apparently it's a fuzz pedals! Plutt original design, in fact it is a Zvex pedals! PDAL This is the equivalent of fuzz fuzz factory of normal (using pedals for the guitarist Matthew Bellamy, singer , pianist and composer muse) but instead of dbourser PRS 240 dboursez you "only" 180E! Why? Simply parcequ'au instead of being painted by hand, it does SERIES factory which prevents him not to have a geule of hell! In addition, it possde a green LED to know if the effect is switched between one and even for connecting AC power. It comes with batteries and uses only low trs (3mA). This is an analog effect, saturation is achieved using two germanium transistors of good quality trs. Finally the pedals is relatively strong and exelente quality (normal considering the price you will tell me).
I put 10/10 for CHARACTERISTICS.

UTILIZATION

Okay so the beginners to understand it too much on what plant it is! To trigger the effect is simple, a touch of the switch and go! Finally the party is a big word when you do not know yet bte! Indeed, the notes go in all directions and it is struggling to tame the power of this little monster! Beginners are hard to find his sound, but through trial, we stumbled upon an original fuzz and ... dmantiel! So do not worry if you have beginners in trouble with rglages: every knob operates the one with the other! And so may seem a strange but that's got! But that is the pany of the RSID Zvex, this is a vritable pedals fuzz factory, when it was well accustomed to the five knobs can be achieved by fiddling a bit of a wide range of sound fuzz from "classic" fuzz a lot more original. I put 8 / 10.

SOUND QUALITY

So you have to see the plutt or hear it to believe it! The sound is impressive, original! We never saw any of a fuzz pedals! In addition, the pedals can CRER a continuous feedback (even when the volume is low) modular (see Matthew Bellamy in plug in baby). To get an IDE I suggest you go see the video on the Zvex site (www.zvex.com). I possde my fuzz factory for two months and every time j'enclenche the switch and I play a few notes I am grateful to have Zvex pedals such a cr! The pedals should be very musical style, it does not serve that play the muse! I "factory" my own sound and each time it's the same, my friends are flocking to my guitar and asked me to try this little bote gray and green whistling, and out of my amp fuzz this tr Try the s typ

OVERALL OPINION

I use the pedals for 2 months and I confess that I never tire yet! I love the original of fuzz and feedback module! In addition, the pedals possde really me, let me explain: when you play with the effect of switches on the pedals gnre "noises" crackling, buzzing! Yes I know it's weird but trs must try to understand! 180 believe me it's not much for such an object! Muse fan, jump on the opportunity, not a fan of Muse jump at the chance this is a real massacre pedals it will make you a great time!

This biensur a fuzz pedals
As its name suggests, analog technology.
For connectivity, it's easy:
one between an exit!
A switch and a conventional power plug on the cot,
This is not ngligeable!

UTILIZATION

Then use cot, I put a BMOL.
The Premire hour passes on this machine
t have enough pnibles.
Only Zvex is nice and offers on its official website
rglages some nice video and Convince.
You really take the time to apprcier!

SOUND QUALITY

I think it's REALLY the highlight of the pedals,
It offers a range of fuzz quite large and the rendering is good trs
especially innimitable.

OVERALL OPINION

The PDAL is a true marvel!
Overall, it's a hell, it is
especially really rugged and versatile trs.

Fuzz pedal, who is becoming increasingly untilise (notably thanks to a guitarist muse completely ana ...), logic using transistors AC128 (as in fuzzz face, solid metal box ...
5 pots: volume (poorly calibrated too powerful), gate, compressor, gain, and stab

UTILIZATION

A foix we spend 1 / 2 hour to find the different settings is easy, but at the beginning is hard because none of the four pots knob ensmbles interact, we must find the right combinations.
the fact the the number of knobs and the smallness of the box also makes delicate adjustments, it is very common that I turn two pots at the same time, and when you're used to the format of gaf fair boss fau not crush the pots in Inrush the footswitch

SOUND QUALITY

The effect (rather the effects) is sublime and varied trs.
Basically you can get:
-Sounds like classic fuzz fuzz face and consortia (hendrix, clapton, satisfaction ...)
Muf-sounds big hypermarkets fat (ideal for santana, led zep, pink floyd notament)
-With some regalges it feels to play with a HP explospareil essaill that when I play on my hi-fi and I exploded the 2 HP ...)
Compltement of fuzz-destroy (style nirvana, muse ...)
-The "Feedback" (with some settings the pedal resonates with the mics and the guitar will sound continuously as a synt which little change frquence playing with pots and with the volume of the guitars, great space with a delay, to play the muse
-Results of other indescribable sounds and fuzz and unique

Only one problem: The pedal also comes into resonance with my whawah crybaby, which is unusable (as whawah finally, to make noise it's great)

plus: the regulation of the low gain fuzz is very dinamic

OVERALL OPINION

1 week I use it, but happiness, good quality RAPORT the price is its strong but I do it again this choice without eSite

Everything is already said, I repeat it.

UTILIZATION

The big advantage of this pedal is precisely its complexity and bad temper (not unlike some in short (s) human (e) s of my knowledge). Each knob affects the others there understand anything, turn, and pof was sound. But not for long because germanium transistors respond to temperature (and also the placement of Neptune in the sky, suspecting I), so much so that I come to pick up Russian CB enthusiasts in the middle of a concert This provides enough fun breaks, I assure you. So here, to love tinkering, personal love.

SOUND QUALITY

It's versatile, it's going to clean the lens at a high-decibel wave roaring in fury, it is suitable for all styles (I still managed to place in the middle of "Winter Garden" of Salvador, imagine the reaction of the public hearing for the first time the whistle), and this kind of feedback of the Apocalypse is a fairly useful once mastered stunning as you can - I persist and sign - draw something beautiful for little we know just the character of the pedal (and the humidity of the room).
Connected to a big Les Paul and a Kustom 50W All Tube, it's just beautiful. Ibanez connected to a half box and live sound, it's just beautiful, too.
Connected to a poor Squier défrettée all rotten and it's very weird.
And a Yamaha acoustic, a studio condenser mic, an SM58, a key stage, and anything else, well ... It is another world within your reach (and the cops at your door, in general).
In short, we must love, but it's great if so.

OVERALL OPINION

I have three years, having purchased my period as Muse to Bellamy, but I no longer listen to Muse and I still marvel at this box.
I can not compare it with other kind of fuzz, there is none. Similarly for the ratio Q / P, I find good (200 euros), but with what to compare?
Again, you really love this pedal and music weird to have fun with, and not expect to pay a sound and do not change, because the pedal will take care of like a big change.
Lovers of chaos, worshipers of the random sound surgeons, tripatouilleurs of all types and pedigree, you are warned: you need it.

It is a fully analog fuzz base germanium transistors, but making the hand painted SERIES (the only diffrence with the fuzz factory standard), it has between one and an output jack and a power supply between (alim 'not included) that said it is better to use it on battery to avoid the buzz (Unless you have a very stable power supply)
construction seems very solid switch is quite "hard" input / output jacks are as ever and the battery cover screws inspire confidence:

10: manufactured by hand, a sound that seems to copy the components of choice, I need no more

UTILIZATION

While the configuration of the pedals is quite specially because the configuration of a single knob affects the other, however has me not too many possible problems, not against j'pourrais dcrire must have the hands to understand a j'pourrais not explain with words.
by prsence against the knob of a Tone could have been with some rglages aprciable and kills the sound but the constant feedback when not playing is hard to bear when he is not wanted.
the manual is a piece of paper with rglages type and an explanation of the operation, but nice is not a little

larsen not forcment apprciable + no Tone: 7

SOUND QUALITY

Against her by then: a runs from the dirty dirty through the dirty, or the dirty, but covers almost all shades of dirty, it's all I can and I was looking for a lot of DIFFERENT sounds, dirty, crunchy, Grin, squealing y 'for every (sales) tastes.
useless to try to play chords in a normal context with the pedals on the other hand: it is completely not for a foul gives a slurry, or from time to time against a very strong dirty cot is searched can be a nice
then of course we can not talk about this without mentioning PDAL muse, ben good course has seen it looks the same, however, expect to have exactly the same sound to it because the pedals Ragit much glue behind what he, personally I use it before my RP250 and each new patch you can feel the difference, then sculpt your sound with both FF and with your amp
you can also use it to make the effects of pitch, of course (like Matthew Bellamy live again) by touching the stab, the drive or the comp without playing each one modifying the height of the feedback Fawn more or less sensitive, but even more interesting is to do it by playing (in lgato so) and has something completely duly given a kind of ring-mod crazy. I love, something crazy is it also paste a harmonizer and delay rather Submitted ass, then to the scope of feedback control: the extraterestres dbarquent!
The sound that I prefer is the kind compress the hyper fuzz solo muse eternally missed but less so to breathe a little
The sounds that I dtest y'en not really, but sometimes some of the feedback constant rglages me soule

9: excellent but not flexible (it can be used in any style but not in any context) I use it mostly for solos or Młoda, or to make noise in some passages

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a little over a month
Particularity it I like most is what's so special sale
Particularity it I like least is the feedback on some of omniprsence rglages
I know the Fuzz Face and Big Muff, they each have their qualities and if I could I would have the 3 but that's the sound I wanted
It is reasonable qualitprix report is not even very expensive for an effect of the sound quality and workmanship. in all cases the report qualitprix is ​​much better than the normal FF painted by hand
-The exprience with this choice I would do carrment

9: perfection does not exist but it is near, even two / three things ptits a correct and pedals that will be perfect for its use

_Peut Be replicated to the perfection of our Idol sounds like Muse, Hendrix and other groups using it?

Obviously, at least almost. In fact, artists such as Muse use it, but adding other effects on top.
We find her in this sound very fat and very room, but it should be used to understand the feelings.

UTILIZATION

The fuzz factory we see the existence of five buttons: Volume, Gate, compress, drive, and Stability.
Volume: should not really be good at not knowing what it is.
Gate: Eliminates SIFL or adjust the height of feedback.
Compress: Add or remove the attack your notes
Drive: adjusts the size of his.
Stability: Control the height of the feedback has not used below one-half, the result difficult to manage!
Using sometimes tricky, even after 5 months.
PS: the volume is very sensitive, beware!

SOUND QUALITY

This pedal is used mainly with a guitar, do with a low but the result is not terrible. If you need a similar result with a low please redirect to the "Big Muff" for lil budgets, or "woolly mammoth" home Zvex always for the big budgets.
It will offer you sound very very sal fat, but fun for amateur noise.
At the beginning it is not necessarily obvious a set, it is not always nice to the ears explode due to improper adjustment.
Its versatile can.

OVERALL OPINION

Hello hello! I use the fuzz factory Vexter the past five months. For five months the capacity of this little pedal I am continually impressed.
However, we note some small defect that little object. In fact for fans of noise Muse etc ... This pedal is ideal for them, but gratouilleurs looking for a versatile sound will not be seduced by this pedal. Even though there are many different settings, we always end up sound very bold and aggressive dirty, fuzz dla after all! For guitarists jazz enthusiast or other music quiet enough, I strongly recommend this.
Why do I use? Because I'm a fan of the "big racket," I like noise and a big fat riff violate the muse and songs full of life that can not be found with this fuzz like Hendrix or Queen of the You acknowledge Age.Vous stone in my description? Run, fly, but to take the metro to buy this little jewelry. This pedal, however, will not be easy to use single pa, at least not on stage. Despite a more than satisfactory, it is sorely lacking in bass, you use an effect of your choice (the one you consider most appropriate) by filling this small gap.
Voila voila, I think we went around ...
A yes, the existential question!! Where to find it?!
In France it is not obvious, and yes it is the Zvex, the brand does not come from us. You will find only expensive "center effect" in the 9em arrondiseement in Paris. If you live in the south, do not panic, go to the website http://www.effectcenter.com/magasin/ they also do Internet sales.
On this I highly recommend YOU lovers of noise!

Pigale tried in stores.

Muse is the pedal (on some songs) And it moves! Overall, it sounds Fuzz, filthy and nag ... difficult to draw "a distortion clinic" ... So it sounds Muse, Hendrix, The Floyd (Time) ... The nice overdrive at the Stones ... not know it right away ... pretty nasty, we're going to sound like metal zone ... What great with this pedal is the extreme versatility of the settings ... it has hundreds of different colors that are combined in 4 settings ... more interactive ... they are all in a move changes the color assigned to another ... a real mess but really fun for those who want to spend the tps .... So it was not a pedal, but 50! Should be a piece of absolute control!

QLQ faults, however:

- The button is bad flight tune, in 3 / 10 was already a support her too hard, the blow the adjustment range is 0 to 3, the 4-10 is useless.
- When COMP is at the bottom: More sound! a series resistance on the knob would have been sufficient to avoid this problem as is the case on many pedals as the TS example in the loop of the PDO. Indeed I take this opportunity to clarify that this setting is not a COMPRESSION in the strict sense. Zvex recognizes it himself, he gave the name according to its faders of the line sound that came out after the fact. On the electronic point of view it is a second drive ... .
- No dial tone on on Start or Tele is too much treble ... Moreover Muse adds a great EQ to correct color.

UTILIZATION

Super Fuzz pedal with very very different colors you can create a custom .... Going to make noise if set to automatic: feedback ... parasite ... buzz ...

SOUND QUALITY

Very good analog sound ...

OVERALL OPINION

Excellent pedal, but very typical and very expensive ...

100% analog, germanium transistors are much his personality

This is the same as the Fuzz Factory aside from the paint that is not handmade and the presence of an external power supply socket 'good practice anyway.

UTILIZATION

It's not easy to use. Must spend considerable time but once this is done, is the bomb §!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The range is impressive as possible to reproduce. Zvex gives a default setting which is quite nice and allows the right to quickly customizing the sounds on offer.

SOUND QUALITY

It is highly effective, especially in the big sound! you can even get a slight crunch if you like. The stronger it is still able to sustain a note indefinitely. You can make her completely insane! With an echo or delay is psychedelic.

OVERALL OPINION

Must have two years since I had ordered directly from the US California. When I opened the package I fell in love on it so beautiful and it exudes very high quality.

Which is great, except the look is that it does not consume anything. I'm thinking about integrating it can be a scratch as Matt Bellamy, to play with the stab and the gate easily. It's really about the guitar that this pedal is the most fun!

The Zvex, it's very expensive but very high quality. However, on opening the belly of the beast for the first time, it is quite empty and dismayed that so basic ...

Fuzz with germanium transistors, analog.

Exactly the same characteristics as the fuzz factory at 100th most expensive, except that:
- The paint is not made by hand, and yet is prettier (well after the tastes and colors ...)
- Production has been relocated to the eastern countries (do not worry it's still the high end: in fact it's still the same)
- I noticed the absence of two live outside of the pedal compared to its big sister, who used to live one to adjust the intensity of the LED, and the other to adjust the general nature of pedal (I think this setting is found in the Vexter but inside the pedal). WELL LOST! AFTER CHECKING IN THIS VERSION NO PERSONALITY ADJUSTMENT Unlike its more expensive version HANDPAINTED! it's still a pure pedal, but it's a shame ...

UTILIZATION

General Configuration ultra complicated: D
In fact that's what makes much of its charm I think. It takes time to master, but really, there's something for everyone.

The four buttons:
- Gate
- Comp
- Drive
- Stab
interact with each other and it takes time to understand how

More than a volume knob very reactive: 3 volume is already very high.

SOUND QUALITY

Fuzz beautiful, full of personality, warmth, with the grain typical of germanium fuzz. I saw the fender blender which was much softer but there are really silky character in the fuzz.

It can range from mild fuzz, something good comes in to the Muse (for example). The pedal really reaction according to the microphones on the guitar (for once I'm glad I invested in bare knuckle on my ibanez sas 36 fm), and also many with its volume: and just playing with the said volume mics on the guitar, you can vary the "drive" cooool not even need to bend down

Not only fuzz that can be obtained are as numerous as beautiful to the ear, but can also play some experiments with noisy button Stab (for once again makes me think of the fender blender with a boost). That's the least useful as difficult to use (even with the fuzz probe also I've tried), but it's still very fun.

OVERALL OPINION

EDIT:

I had a FF Vexter and Probe, and some time after writing this test I recommend instead of the pedals "boutique" inspired by the Zvex that are more usable than the original models.
Personally, I have a Nitrogen 21 and I can only advise (French product and well in every respect).

- What are the effects or types of effects available?

It's going to fuzz distortion of the very very fat

UTILIZATION

- The general configuration is it simple?
Then at the beginning is a little hassle to find a sound that one seeks, one must tinker with the knobs for some time but frankly do not panic it's very simple once we understand What are all the buttons

SOUND QUALITY

- Effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?
A killing just killing, without repeating what is said in every opinion, if you're a fan of Father bellamy jump on this pedal, an unusual Assé other use can be made of this pedal so I put 10
I adjusted a bit I think after a long or I have used this pedal. It is excellent for big sound bold type smashing pumpkins muse or against but if you want to own this one even bother to direct you to this pedal.
A flat all the same to those who think having the sound of Bellamy, I'm pretty sure after a long experience bellamy no longer use the fuzz factory too, so do not run Bestil buy this if you like his sound. a Diezel head would be better still it is not the same budget

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
I have three years

- What is so special that you like most and least?
as:
the unique sound that can be drawn

Minimum:
Unfortunately we can not put a wah before or after the fuzz, the sound becomes if there is no direct dégeu de'autre bridge low for my taste

- How would you rate the quality / price?
the price is a bit much but hey what's the big quality pays

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
No problem with closed eyes

This is a fuzz stompbox made by Zvex. It has 1/4" input and output jacks and can be used with a 9V battery or a standard boss style power adaptor. It's true bypass and has five controls, which are: Volume, Drive, Stab (stability), Comp (compression) and Gate.

UTILIZATION

This pedal is simple to set up, just plug your amp and guitar in and put a battery inside and you're ready to roll. The five controls on this pedal are very interactive and can react strangely in certain settings and produce feedback. It can be quite difficult to get a traditional fuzz tone out of this pedal I find, but then again if you want a traditional fuzz sound then you're probably not going to be buying a fuzz factory.

One thing I dislike about the utilization of this pedal is that due to the small enclosure and high amount of knobs it's quite easy to knock your settings when engaging the bypass footswitch.

SOUND QUALITY

I really love the sound of this pedal the germanium transistors sound amazing. The range of sounds you can get out of this pedal are ridiculous. My personal favorite is a heavily gated "velcro-fuzz" sound. Like I mentioned previously in certain settings this pedal can be prone to produce wild feedback and oscillations, I really like this feature of the pedal but a lot of people can be put off by it. I enjoy using it to produce a huge wall of fuzz sound that trails into oscillation. The pitch of the oscillation can be changed by the volume and tone controls on some guitars I found so there is possibility for new creative aspects which aren't available with other traditional fuzz boxes.


OVERALL OPINION

Overall I think this is a great pedal but I can't justify the price of owning a real one and despite building more than five clones I haven't managed to get the right sound yet. I think if you're considering this pedal you should try it before you buy it as it isn't for everyone.
