the MOOG Ring Modulator MF102, demonstrated, poorly, by yours truly. Wish I knew what to do with these things. Some folks can really make em’ speak…I am not one of those dudes. Do not watch this clip.

http://www.wamplerpedals.com the Super Plex-Tortion is just what you’d think…and MORE! Three thumbs up from GMD for sure…tons of tone options and a huge range for EQ and gain option.

http://www.freekishblues.com The FREEKOUT vintage vibe 60’s organic fuzz from Freekish Blues. Very cool pedal. Had a sweet, earthy tone about it. I dig it!

http://www.buildyourownclone.com Tell em’ gearmanndude sent ya! This may be the best over drive pedal ever offered. You can totally make it your own with a few little changes to the circuit. This is the stock version, with my http://www.kingbeeguitars.com relic telecaster and http://www.jaguaramplification.com JAGUAR TWIN amplifier. This over-drive has a boost switch, and a bunch of other options you can select with switches….totally happenin’ little box of grooviness.

a guy trying out the nano head in his studio
This is a brief roundup of almost all Z Vex pedals (by Mr. Vex himself) taken from the NAMM exhibition at 2006 by gearwire.com.
Mr. Vex keeps his usual humour and good mood (I love that!) despite the fatigue of the show… My favourite, of course, is the Wah.
Beautiful handcrafted (and handpainted, too!) pedals, but some of them a bit overpriced – even above usual boutique pedals’ prices – and a bit small to be used easily on stage (unless you tape it down and use your finger to switch it on/off to avoid stepping on the knobs as well…)
To Mr. Vex’s immense credit, they are really advanced in terms of electronic design, and not a copy of anything else (a refreshing move in today’s world of pedal clones).
Described by some snobbish people as “gimmicks”, it is true that some of them are too strange for more than one song, and too unpredictable to get a constant sound from, but sometimes today’s music desperately needs to be less predictable… Of course, there are the “normal” ones such as the Box Of Rock, the Super Duper etc. but most of them are completely crazy!
Oh, and by the way, my all time favourite fuzz for my electric guitar would be the Woolly Mammoth – a fuzz initially designed for bass – if it didn’t sound so muffled and so uncontrollable. In reality, it sounds much different than the wonderful clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XW8-9P_FFw .
UPDATE: My snobbish attitude towards the Fuzz Factory is… gone! I am now the proud owner of one. Strange really, because I had played with it a lot before, and never really liked it. It doesn’t do everything, but has the advantage of instant wall-of-fuzz tone on a clean amp (think Fu Manchu, Smashing Pumpkins, Jesus & Mary Chain etc). And in bedroom volumes, too (although I can’t wait to take it on one of the oncoming gigs…)

man where to begin..an all tube tiny little guitar amp that has about one watt of power to get a true saturated feedback fully cranked marshall sound but at nice bedroom levels ..good for recording full amp sounds without going deaf
