Mint store demo model! ZVEX VEXTER FUZZ PROBE PEDAL!
The Zvex desciption: Congratulations.
You must be insane. Even I don't get how to use this pedal. This
sheet explains the probe portion of your unit.
The
Fuzz Probe is a kind of cross between a theremin and a
fuzz factory. There is a 3 5/8" copper 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 aluminum that provides
shielding from annoying ground effects and wires under
the stage. It also serves to protect the knobs from being
knocked off if you drop it on them... and it makes a nice
toe chopper if you are barefoot, so (legal disclaimer:)
DO NOT DROP THIS PEDAL ON YOUR FOOT! IT IS HEAVY AND HAS
VERY POINTY CORNERS THAT COULD DAMAGE LIVING
CREATURES AND FINE HARDWOOD FLOORING. ALSO, YOU COULD
BREAK SOMETHING. Like your dog. Already,
it should be apparent that this is the most dangerous
pedal I have ever made. Ow! The copper antenna projects
a field of RF energy that is affected by your foot (or
other appendage), altering the circuit that generates it,
and in so doing, increasing the brightness of that LED on
the top of the pedal and also controlling the STABILITY
(STAB) knob on the back. I could have made it just
control that LED, I mean, that's enough for some people,
but nooo, I went and connected it to the stability knob
too. This lets you select your favorite squealy fuzz
factory setting (doesn't the band love that?) and then
mess around with the STAB knob with your foot and create
little melodies and interference modulations with your
guitar (doesn't the band love that even more?).
Controls:
Volume: Output level
Gate: Squelches noise after end of sustain. Turn to
the right to eliminate squeals, hiss, and buzz, stopping just as they
disappear, or use to tune in exact feedback pitch. Turning to the left
opens gate.
Compress: Adds attack characteristic when turned to
the left, which gets softer to right, and suddenly pinches tone when
all the way right. Also tunes in fat, feedbacky 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.
Stability: Use to control feedback pitch. This is one of the more finicky controls, so it will take some experimentation to get it right. Foot controllable.
