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 ...
