This is a very interesting offering from the Zvex camp. The Inventobox is… or has… the potential to be several pedals in one. The working model on display at NAMM was in fact a Super Hard-On, Fuzz Factory and a ‘Marshall’ styled EQ all in one. The plan will allow users to buy different components to fasten into the Inventobox housing to create custom multi-effects. It is said to work for most all Zvex pedals… and others as well! Current estimate for availability is this spring, possibly as soon as April. The unpopulated Inventobox will carry a price tag of around $300. Check out the pics after the jump!
Sounds like Zack Vex has a monster pedal set to debut at the Winter NAMM show in January. Details are scarce, but Vex posted on Harmony Central late last week that he is working in earnest on a pedal with ‘three circuit boards, 16 pots, 20 LEDs, 4 switches’ and is nothing like anything he has ever done before. Speculation is that he will debut a super delay – a Delay Factory, if you will. He is not letting on as to what exactly it is, but did say that he has been working on it off and on for the better part of a year and intensively for the last three months. Stay tuned!
Zack Vex has opened up a fantastic new online custom shop which allows would-be Vexians to tour and purchase from Zvex’s large catalog of hand painted pedals. The graphic-intensive shopping experience gives each pedal its due with awesome controls enabling you to zoom in and out of individual stomps or groups of pedals. You can browse the entire line or just pick the pedal type that suits from the Fuzz Factories and Boxes of Metal to the Super Hardons and Seek Trems. The emersive nature of the site is… a site to behold! Click here to check it out, either to drool or to buy!
Zvex Effects will showcase the first two in the company’s new Vextron series of new lower prices pedals at the Winter NAMM show next month. The Disortron is the distortion side of the company’s popular Box of Rock stomp with added gain boost and subs switches, while the Mastatron is a ‘bastardized’ Hendrix silicon fuzz using the 2N2222 transistor. According to Zachary Vex, the stomp has a ‘bumble bee’ quality that stays solid for all settings. Pricing for the new Vextron Series is an attractive $149. Both new pedals are slated to be available in April.
