Reasons Not To Buy

It can take some time to dial this pedal in but it can be a very fun and experimental pedal once you get the hang of it

Overview

The Fuzz Factory ZVEX pedal does not sound like any other. From a (relatively) usual fuzz sound, to a tearing velcro sound, to a mess of self-oscillating pitches enveloping whatever note you play in, you can place it anywhere. The Fuzz Factory is always put to work when it’s time to get strange.

Critic Consensus

Review by Bob Lanzetti / Guitarist, Snarky Puppy

My Fuzz Factory ZVEX is next up when considering best guitar pedals. The pedal sounds like no other. You can put it anywhere from a (relatively) ordinary fuzz sound, to a ripping velcro sound, to a mess of self-oscillating pitches wrapped in whatever note you play in. When it’s time to get crazy the Fuzz Factory is still put to work.

Fuzz Features:

2 stock ’60s germanium transistors
Controls for Volume, Gate, Compress
Controls for Stability and Drive
Aluminum chassis
Hand-silkscreened casing.
