ZVEX Effects Fuzz Factory FX Pedal [Limited Edition Razzle Dazzle]
**The ONLY 1 available in the UK**
The Fuzz Factory from ZVEX Effects is one of their most iconic pedals, available here with a super limited Razzle Dazzle finish.
The Razzle Dazzle finish is inspired by the more fanciful name for Dazzle camouflage developed and deployed by the UK and US military in World War I, and ZVEX have used the dazzle style on this pedal as an homage to the ingenuity of wildlife experts, scientists and graphic artists coordinating with our military to protect our troops at sea.
The Fuzz Factory circuit is the same as the standard version, and is an industry renowned five-knob fuzz that utilises two new old-stock sixties germanium transistors, and is not modelled on any fuzz classics!
This is a Super Limited release. Only 12 of these pedals were made available to dealers worldwide, with only this one coming to the U.K.

What Do ZVEX Effects Say?
Razzle Dazzle is a more fanciful name for Dazzle camouflage developed and deployed by the UK and US military in World War I. In an effort to avoid being targeted for torpedo attacks by German U-boats (submarines) thousands of our ships were painted with a variety of wild stripes to confuse the enemy about identity, direction and speed. We’ve used the dazzle style on this pedal as an homage to the ingenuity of wildlife experts, scientists and graphic artists coordinating with our military to protect our troops at sea.
Controls
The circuit is not modeled after any classic fuzz design, but should have been around when Leary was still lucid. Although the five knobs are named for the parameters over which they seem to have the most control, please don’t hold me to it. They are controls for various operating levels and biases, and basically shape you a personalized fuzz.
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.
Compress: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 feedback 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.
Stab: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.
