The Z.Vex Fuzz Probe Vexter Fuzz Pedal is a kind of cross between a theremin and a fuzz factory. There is a 3 5/8” antenna plate mounted on a chunk of 3/8” clear acrylic that passes over the top of the pedal housing, angles down to sharp turn, and goes back to the pedal. Under the whole mess is a 3 5/8” by 7” sheet of aluminium that provides shielding from annoying ground effects and wires under the stage.
The older brother of the Fuzz Factory™ has a theremin-like antenna that lets you adjust one the knobs (STAB) 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.
The main features of the Z.Vex Fuzz Probe Vexter Fuzz Pedal include:
Z.VEX Fuzz Probe Vexter I was looking for a weird kind of fuzz and I think I got too weird with this one. It features some interesting sounds, very unusual, if you are looking for experimental stuff thats the one. I like the sound of the distortion, but I found the drive knob not dinamic, you set on 0 distortion and it still gives you too much. The theremin is interesting but soon you realise you will use it too litle for the space it takes on the pedal board.
Anyway, its worth having as professional for experiments on sounds. If you are begining and want a tradicional fuzz dont go for this one.
