The ZVEX Fuzz Factory Vertical is a reimagined version of the classic Fuzz Factory pedal, now housed in a more pedalboard-friendly vertical enclosure. It retains the original's highly interactive five-knob layout—Volume, Gate, Comp, Drive, and Stab—allowing for a vast array of fuzz tones, from smooth sustain to chaotic oscillations. This model continues to use two new old-stock '60s germanium transistors, delivering the same distinctive and versatile fuzz sounds as the original.
