Description

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.

Vater der Z Vex Fuzz Factory ist der amerikanische Erfinder und Musiker Zachary Vex. Seine Geräte haben eines gemeinsam: der unabdingbare Wunsch, aus dem Rahmen zu fallen und anders zu sein als die Anderen. Genau genommen steht diese Philosophie in direktem Gegensatz zu der vieler Hersteller in diesem Genre, deren Produkte in erster Linie versuchen, der noch bessere Tubescreamer-Clone zu sein. Fuzzpedale waren die ersten Verzerrer, die in den wilden Jahren der End-Sechziger und beginnenden Siebzigern dabei halfen, das Lebensgefühl musikalisch umzusetzen. Alle Pedals ausser die der Vexter-Serie sind handbemalt und individuell gestaltet - jedes Pedal ist also ein Unikat!
