Zvex Fuzz Factory Vexter 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.

The Gate knob 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. The Comp knob 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 feedback fuzz, if you’re that kind. Lower the Stability and see what happens to this control.

The Drive knob 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. The Stab knob is at it’s best all the way right. Do not adjust this control below 2:00, unless you like your fuzz soft and squishy. Use to control feedback pitch.

ZVEX Effects

ZVEX Effects is a pioneering American brand known worldwide for its unique, hand-built guitar pedals that push sonic boundaries. Founded by Zachary Vex in the 1990s, ZVEX quickly earned a cult status among guitarists looking for unconventional tones and experimental capabilities. Each pedal is a piece of art — both sonically and visually — often featuring hand-painted enclosures and original circuit designs.

Creative and Iconic Guitar Pedals Full of Character

ZVEX became famous with pedals like the Fuzz Factory, one of the most expressive and versatile fuzz pedals ever created, and the Super Hard-On boost. These pedals are favored by artists across indie, alternative, hard rock, and experimental genres. What sets it apart is its combination of vintage-inspired tones, extreme tweakability, and a strong sense of sonic individuality.

Vertical series

In addition to their classic line, they also produce Vertical Series pedals (in a more pedalboard-friendly format) and creative effects like the Looper, Instant Lo-Fi Junky, and Seek Wah, which add movement, texture, and rhythmic elements to your sound. Most pedals are still hand-built in small batches in Minnesota, USA. With a focus on creativity, expression, and tone quality, they remain a go-to brand for musicians who want to step outside the norm. Whether you’re chasing extreme fuzz, lo-fi textures, or something no one else has on their board — ZVEX Effects is where you’ll find the unexpected.
