Zvex Effects Vertical Instant Lo-Fi Junky Zachary Vex has just shared a photo of a new vertical edition of his Instant Lo-Fi Junky pedal on Facebook. It looks really psychedelic with a new paint job yet, he says, it stays true to the original circuit design. ZVex Instant Lo-Fi Junky Im a fan of American boutique pedal builder Zachary Vex and his ZVex brand. Why? Because he makes really nice circuits, with a fresh outlook on effects pedal designs. Its why he became famous among guitarists rapidly. He does not follow the herd and comes up with some unique sounds and ways of manipulating audio. The ZVex Instant Lo-Fi has been around for a few years and emulates the sounds and textures of the Lo-Fi Loop Junky. So theres no looping onboard, but lots of lo-fi sound degradation that can border on chorus-like vibrato effects when pushed. Vertical Vex This new version is, of course, vertical in layout while retaining the same circuit as the original. I have popped a demo video by ReverbNerds.com featuring the regular version below so you can hear what it does. I havent got an official price for the new version yet. But Zachary Vex has said on Facebook that he has already shipped a few hundred pedals to dealers in the US. So they should start popping up very soon to buy on the net. Im loving the layout and the new graphics. It makes sense that the circuit is being made available in this format, making it easier to squeeze this effect onto your pedal board.
Features- - Volume: Overall output volume for the unit.
- - Tone: Can be used to lower the brightness of the Lo-Fi signal (the vibrato sound). Does not affect the compressed signal.
- - Comp/Lo-Fi: Adjusts anywhere between full compression and full vibrato mix. Blending the two (somewhere between the extremes) creates a chorusing sound.
- - Speed: Adjusts the speed of the Vibrato (only affects the Lo-Fi sound).
- - Depth: Sets the depth of the Vibrato (only affects the Lo-Fi sound).
