Iconic 60s fuzz, reborn for modern players.
Few effects have defined the sound of electric guitar quite like fuzz. The VFZ-1 celebrates this legacy by revisiting one of the most influential fuzz circuits of all time: the classic two-transistor of the late 60s commonly known as the Mk 1.5, whose expressive breakup inspired a generation of players.

Classic Germanium character; Modern Silicon stability
Vintage fuzz boxes are beloved for their warm, harmonically rich distortion, but their Germanium transistors present familiar issues: temperature drift, inconsistent performance, and high noise. While Silicon solves these problems, it rarely recreates the musical sweetness of Germanium, until now.

After extensive analysis of prized vintage units, VOX engineers developed a Silicon-based design that retains the magic of those originals. Each of the two silicon transistors is biased at a precisely calculated operating point, allowing them to interact in the same musical, interdependent way as the best Mk 1.5 circuits.

The result is a fuzz that is aggressive yet refined, dynamic yet stable, combining timeless tone with modern reliability and exceptionally low noise.
