Fuzz Factory

Packed with knobs that let you control everything from tight, radically fuzzy sounds that gate off instantly when you stop playing, to intermodulating oscillations that fight for control of your guitar as your notes decay, to shortwave radio sounds, ripping Velcro and octave-like fuzz. Now includes an on/off LED and DC power jack!

$299


Vexter Series Fuzz Factory

This lower-priced model of the Fuzz Factory has black and green silk-screened artwork. A green on/off LED, and all of the parts inside are identical to the original Fuzz Factory.

Woolly Mammoth

Designed for bass, a favorite for guitar, this incredibly sub-frequency-preserving unit will hold on to the lowest lows like no fuzz ever heard before. It features a gentile gate for silencing your instrument between notes or phrases, and has an EQ control that smoothly selects between more bass and more treble.

$359

The Machine

Creates a noisy oscillation of triple-frequency triangle waves that will cut through any amount of distortion in any pedal or amp with a sweeping, industrial grind, making it a truly unique fuzz.

$319

Fuzz Probe

The older brother of the Fuzz Factory has a theremin-like antenna that lets you adjust one the knobs (Stability) by moving your foot or hand close to the copper plate, making it a big favorite of experimental noise fans, with its varying oscillation pitch and strange fuzz guitar interactions.

Box of Rock

This Box of Rock simulates Zachary’Äôs favorite amp turned up all the way, a 1966 Marshall JYM45. The tone control adjusts brightness and there’Äôs a high-head-room low-noise boost.

The heaviest-sounding pedal in the Z.Vex lineup, the BOM has a massive amount of distortion with great thump and excellent tone control, and includes a very effective noise-silencing gate feature which can be turned off and on with a footswitch. Gain adjusts from hard to harder.

$359

USA Vexter Box of Metal

This US-made mid-priced model is engraved and hand-polished for a very industrial, machine-shop look. Extremely cool sound and appearance. Identical electronics and parts as the hand-painted model.

Ringtone TT

The Ringtone plays a pre-set melody while ring-modulating it against your guitar’Äôs notes. This latest revision features tap tempo! The controls allow the user to select sequenced or random melodies driving a ring mod; a step mode allows the user to advance the sequence one step at a time with the tap foot switch. The speed knob takes over when rotated to change the speed.

LO-FI Loop Junky

The name pretty much says it all: A 20-second analog phrase-sampling looper with very low fidelity, frequency response that cuts off at 2.6 kHz, brick-wall compression, hiss, distortion, and a warped-record vibrato feature that makes your guitar sound like an ancient radio transmission, but your direct guitar sounds especially sparkly.

$369

Super Hard On

The SHO, as it’Äôs fondly referred to, is an ultru-transparent boost that goes from unity gain to a whooping 60 times the original size (watch out!), while adding a delightful high-end clarity with its 5 million ohm input impedance.

$239


up to [index]

Super Duper

This two-switched pedal has two cascaded Super Hard On’Äôs and a master volume on channel 2 so you can set various boost levels (1,2,1+2) and even achieve a crunchy non eq-ed overdrive at any volume using the master volume control.

$319

Seek Wah II

The original idea was to make this into a miniature sequencer with a VC output, but Z.Vex decided to put a wah-wah inside of it, and it became an instant classic, copied by Line 6. It makes lovely repeating wah sequences at an adjustable rate, in patterns of 4, 6, or 8 (doo-eee-ahh-ooh-eee-ooh-ahh-ooh).

$329

OOH Wah II

This is the bigger sister to the Seek Wah. It does everything a Seek Wah can, but also has a very mesmerizing random mode which selects the steps in no predictable order (doo-eee-ahh-ooh-eee-ooh-ahh-ooh). Now rests on step one when off; starts in time when switched on!

$379

Wah Probe

A wah-wah pedal with no rocker pot to wear out, that uses a proximity sensing raio transmitter so you can achieve super fast wah action and chewy sounds (pulling your foot quickly away), and it even has a Super Hard On built in so you can drive it to any volume you want.

$329

Octane III

A ton of fuzzy gain combined with a high-octave and ring-modulator like tones with a mid scoop control make this pedal sound like a visit to a NASCAR event.

$319

Jonny Octave

This ’Äúclean’Äù analog octave-up pedal will raise your single-note solos one or two octaves up when you play through your neck pickup at the 12th fret. The Jonny’Äôs octave-up ’Äúengine’Äù contains four germanium diodes and a transformer in each channel, with four internal gain trimmers allowing adjustment for your playing style.

$339

Seek-Trem

This versatile tremolo pedal has eight different volume controls that are stepped through sequentially at a rate determined by the speed (SPD) knob, each altering the volume of your guitar. Rhythmic tremolo patterns have never been possible before. It waits at step one off; it starts in time when turned on.

$329

Tremorama

The Tremorama is to the Seek-Trem what the Ooh-Wah is to the Seek-Wah. Some expected it to be called the Ooh-Trem, but alas, Tremorama sounds so much more fun!

Same sound as a Seek-Trem, but random tremolo pulses are possible’Ķvery interesting rhythms come out of this thing!


up to [index]

Tremolo Probe

This is a hopped-up volume pedal with an SHO at its heart, providing boost, and a copper probe plate like a Fuzz Probe. As your foot gets closer, the volume goes up, but unlike a conventional volume pedal, there are no moving parts so you can create instant swells and tremolo effects by tapping your foot on the pedal in time with the band.

$319
