Description
The Vexter Fuzz Probe takes the unruly, oscillating heart of the ZVEX Fuzz Factory and hands you a contactless way to steer it. Mounted on the pedal is an antenna-like proximity plate that radiates a small field of RF energy. Move your foot through that field and you’re not just tapping a switch—you’re directly manipulating the circuit that governs the Stability (STAB) control on the back panel, letting distance and gesture dial in gain stages the way a theremin player shapes pitch.
For players who already love the Fuzz Factory’s feral, gated, ring-modulated squeal, this gives you a hands-free (well, foot-free) way to lock onto that one perfect unstable setting mid-song, without crouching down to twist a knob. Hover closer or pull back and you’ll hear the fuzz shift character—from thick and choked to screaming and glitchy—as the STAB circuit responds to your foot’s proximity.
Push it further and the Fuzz Probe becomes an expressive tool in its own right: wave your foot rhythmically over the plate and you can generate melodic interference patterns, oscillating pitches, and modulation textures layered on top of whatever you’re playing on guitar. It’s part fuzz pedal, part gestural instrument.
- Cross between a theremin and a ZVEX Fuzz Factory
- Proximity plate (antenna) senses foot movement via RF field
- Foot proximity controls the rear-panel Stability (STAB) knob
- Dial in and lock your favorite squealy Fuzz Factory tone
- Foot-driven STAB manipulation for melodic interference and modulation effects
A strange, hands-on take on an already unpredictable fuzz—built for players who want their pedalboard to talk back.
