Zvex Fuzz Factory 20th Anniversary Limited Edition #18/20 Hand Painted

Brand New Hand Painted Fuzz Factory from the geniuses at ZVex. This is the heart of the Zvex effects line - an absolutely killer Fuzz pedal with huge potential to craft and shape your own unique sound. This particular pedal is a fully custom, hand-painted 20th anniversary limited edition.

From ZVEX:

In celebration of our 20th year of ZVEX we've decided to make a unique and limited edition Fuzz Factory pedal. There are only 20 available they are released to our dealers ONLY. There is a limit of 2 per dealer.

This design is a twist on the standard hand painted Fuzz Factory art, on a pearlescent base-coat that shimmers with pink, yellow, and green hues as your viewing angle shifts. The graphics in this edition will not be reproduced again. Each of this limited edition of 20 FFs is accompanied by a Gocco print certificate of authenticity (signed by me and Zack) on metallic marbled paper with a translucent vellum envelope. In place of our usual logo on the back of the enclosure is a plate bearing our 20th anniversary logo and the edition number of each piece.

VOLUME:
Output level.

GATE:
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.

COMP:
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 feedbacky fuzz, if you’re that kind. Lower the Stability and see what happens to this control.

DRIVE:
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.

STABILITY:
Use all the way right. Do not attempt to adjust this control below 2:00, unless you like your fuzz soft and squishy. Use to control feedback pitch. (Did I say that already?)
WARNING: Many "incorrect" settings on this pedal squeal. This may annoy the faint-hearted. If you use the example settings, you won't get hurt. I don't want to see anyone hurt. Unless you're that kind. Don't forget to memorize or write down your favorite settings.
