Fuzz Probe
The Z. Vex Fuzz Probe is a truly unique and captivating fuzz pedal that blends the experimental nature of a theremin with the raw, expressive tones of a fuzz factory. At the heart of this pedal is a massive 3.5-inch copper plate that hovers over the top, acting as a touch-sensitive interface that allows you to manipulate the fuzz character with the mere movement of your hand. This innovative "treadle" design gives you an incredibly intuitive and dynamic level of control over your tone, enabling you to seamlessly morph between smooth, singing sustain and aggressive, sputtering fuzz. The pedal's circuitry is shielded by a hefty aluminum base, not only protecting the internal components but also adding a distinctive visual flair that commands attention on any pedalboard. What makes the Fuzz Probe truly special is its ability to coax out a mesmerizing range of fuzz tones, from classic '60s-inspired velvet-like textures to modern, touch-responsive mayhem. Guitarists seeking to expand their sonic palette and inject a dose of unpredictable, expressive fuzz into their playing will find the Fuzz Probe to be an irresistible and inspiring addition to their rig. While the Fuzz Probe may have a slightly unconventional design, its unique capabilities have made it a favorite among adventurous musicians, including experimental guitarist Thurston Moore, who has been known to utilize its otherworldly fuzz tones in his boundary-pushing performances.
