ZVEX Fuzz Probe Vexter Pedal

Vexter Series pedals are lower priced, featuring silk-screened art. The parts inside Vexters are identical to the hand painted pedals.

The older brother of the Fuzz Factory™ has a theremin-like antenna that lets you adjust one the knobs (STAB) by moving your foot or hand close to the copper plate, making it a big favorite of experimental noise fans, with its varying oscillation pitch and strange fuzz guitar interactions.

Features:

• Theremin-Style Control: Copper antenna senses foot proximity for live modulation.
  
• Fuzz Factory Circuit: Houses the exact 5-knob Germanium fuzz engine.
  
• Hands-Free Pitch Sweeps: Manipulates self-oscillation pitches smoothly mid-performance.
  
• Vexter Series Pricing: Uses silk-screened graphics to lower cost.
  
• Interference Shielding: Bottom aluminum sheet protects the RF field from ground noise.

Controls:

1. VOLUME - Adjusts the overall output volume level of the fuzz effect.
2. GATE - Pinches the noise floor to silence hiss, choke sustain, or create sputtering "velcro" textures.
3. COMP - Compresses the fuzz tone, reshapes the note attack, and alters how the pedal oscillates.
4. DRIVE - Controls input gain levels to change the overall distortion saturation, thickness, and grit.
5. STAB - Manually adjusts feedback stability and baseline oscillation pitch when away from the sensor plate.
6. PROXIMITY PLATE - A copper antenna that overrides the Stab knob, pushing stability to maximum as you step closer.
