ZVEX Fuzz Factory 7 USA Vexter
The Fuzz Factory 7 USA Vexter boasts UV-printed artwork and incorporates hand-painted NOS 1960s GT308 germanium transistors. Despite its new visual design, it retains the same high-quality components as the hand-painted version.
This edition of the Fuzz Factory 7 uses two NOS 1960s GT308 germanium transistors. What makes germanium transistors special? They turn on faster and more eagerly than any other type. While MOSFETs are my personal favorite for their durability, germanium transistors—bipolar and somewhat delicate—are known for their quick response and unique sonic characteristics. These transistors offer a memorable and distinct fuzz experience.
The Fuzz Factory 7 features a nine-position rotary switch, allowing for a vast range of sounds, from deep, earth-shaking lows to high frequencies reminiscent of a "dog whistle" (figuratively speaking). Additionally, it includes a passive tone control with its own switch to attenuate high-end frequencies if needed.
Pedal Dimensions: 121.9 mm (L) x 92.6 mm (W) x 53.3 mm (H)
