This is the ZVEX Effects Vexter Fuzz Probe Pedal from ZVEX, now available in the Guitar Pedals category on Guitars Pedals Amps and Stuff.. Read More below.

Description

The Fuzz Probe follows in the footsteps of ZVEX's infamous Fuzz Factory pedal, but allows you to make on-the-fly adjustments to its sound for chaotic, mind-warping high-gain effects!

Chaos Control

ZVEX's Fuzz Probe has become a huge favourite among experimental noise fans, with a theremin-like antenna that lets you adjust its 'Stability' knob by moving your foot or hand close to the built-in copper plate.

If you love the wacky side of the electric guitar, you can use the ZVEX Fuzz Probe's expression plate to warp your tone with varying pitch oscillation and strange, unpredictable fuzz interactions. You have to hear it to believe it!

Tone-Warping Knobs

A bunch of intuitive knobs enable precise sonic manipulation of the ZVEX Fuzz Probe, but even small changes can make a huge difference! 'Volume' is self-explanatory, but the others are far more idiosyncratic and have a dramatic effect on the pedal's overall sound:

  • Gate: Squelches noise after the end of a sustained note. Turn to the 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 the gate.
  • Compress: Adds attack characteristic when turned to left, which gets softer to the right, and suddenly pinches tone when all the way right. Also use to tune in fat feedback fuzz. 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. This control becomes meaningless when 'Compress' is all the way right.
  • Stability: Use 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.

Specifications

  • Voltage: 9V (Centre Negative), Battery Included
  • Pedal Dimensions (LxWxH):  7.50" x 4.70" x 2.40"

Fuzz Pedals

Fuzz drives the signal into extreme clipping, often flattening the waveform and generating a thick spectrum of harmonics. Transistor type, bias, input loading and tone filtering create markedly different responses, from loose and velvety to gated, spluttering or octave-rich. Some circuits interact strongly with pickup impedance and guitar volume, while others include buffers or blends for a more consistent response.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Fuzz

Fuzz is one of the earliest and most distinctive guitar effects, known for its thick, gritty, and saturated tone that completely transforms your sound. It works by heavily clipping the audio signal, producing a raw, almost broken distortion that defined the sound of the ’60s and ’70s rock era. Classic pedals like the Fuzz Face and Big Muff became legendary for their roaring sustain and rich harmonic texture. Modern fuzz pedals range from vintage-style warmth to wild, synth-like chaos, making them perfect for players who want to add character, attitude, and a touch of chaos to their tone.
