"Cube Fuzz Factory" feat. Mark II transistors: We had two black and two white sample enclosures with UV printed “Cube” graphics we’d been saving for something, so we drilled ‘em out. Why? Because we recently came upon a small stash of the “Mark II” transistors. We call them “Mark II” because these are the cylindrical PNP germanium semiconductors used in mid-to-late ‘90s Fuzz Factory pedals after we ran out of the original “Spam Cans” but before we switched to 2N404 for Q2/Q3. We occasionally have one of these vintage beauties roll through for repair and we always marvel at the transistors. They look and sound glorious! Glad we found some more. Anyway, this is a cool little piece of ZVEX history for a few collectors. We only made four pedals in this batch.
"Amp Parts SHO": These two UV printed SHOs features vintage Zetec BS170 transistors (the kind we used in the 90s), tantalum and film caps, metal film resistors and tall foot switches. All topped off with pink LED and a cupcake knobs. Hand-assembled in Minneapolis.
These fire-distressed Distortrons features Marshall Knobs and a lacquered clear-coat.
