Zvex Fuzz Factory Vexter

About the Zvex Fuzz Factory Vexter

The ZVEX Fuzz Factory is a famously wild, gated germanium fuzz. Its interactive controls let it splutter, self-oscillate and produce chaotic, synth-like and velcro-gated sounds well beyond a normal fuzz. It is a favourite for Muse-style thick fuzz tones, and it can be touchy to dial in and fussy about where it sits in the chain.

The Fuzz Factory is the wild card of the fuzz world, and owners talk about it that way. Its interactive controls let it splutter, self-oscillate and throw out chaotic, synth-like, velcro-gated noise, and while it can be dialled to do almost anything, players are clear it is not the pedal for a classic vintage fuzz voice. It is the go-to that owners name for Muse and Bellamy-style thick, gated fuzz, and fans love it for exactly that madness. The flip side is that it is a finicky beast: several use it for one particular sound rather than as an everyday fuzz, it takes real learning to tame, and like other germanium fuzzes it wants to sit right up front, straight after the guitar and before any buffers, or it can screech and misbehave. It is on the pricey side, but the circuit is simple, so owners point to a range of good, cheaper clones, from Demon FX's take to small indie builders, that get very close to the original.
