General

The (Vextron series) Z.Vex Mastotron is a fuzz pedal by the beloved Z.Vex Effects company. The Mastotron ensures a high-quality, extensively editable fuzz for guitar and bass guitar, as well as digital devices such as keyboards. The Fuzz control allows you to set the amount of fuzz. Additionally, you can adjust the pulse width, trebles (tone) and bass (subs). The Relax/Push button lets you compensate for the output (passive, active or line for instance) of your instrument! What's more, this exceptional pedal is very energy efficient.

The remarkable Z.Vex.

Z.Vex effects are known for their unique effect pedals. The company's founder, Zachary Vex, is a household name in the world of innovative guitar effects. You are bound to find his effects, including the famous Fuzz Factory, on the pedalboards of several famous guitarists. The pedals are hand-made, often hand-painted and are produced in small batches (made by elves, according to Z.Vex). To make them available to a larger group of customers, Z.Vex offers the non-hand-painted Vexter and Vextron series of pedals with the same functions and sound quality.

See the video for a demonstration by Zachary Vex himself.

Z.Vex Effects Mastotron  fuzz pedal
Wrote the following about Z.Vex Effects Mastotron fuzz pedal
Toppedaal! Ik was al een tijdje op zoek naar goede fuzz en uiteindelijk op basis van video's en recensies terechtgekomen bij Zvex's Mastotron. In alle opzichten boven verwachting!

Wat erg aanspreekt is dat door de verschillende sub-kanalen, de tone, de pulse-width en de relax/push knoppen onwijs veel uiteenlopende kleuren aan je fuzz kan geven. Zo kan je een klein fuzz randje aan je overdrive geven, wollige '60s fuzz intunen, sputterend scherpe tonen pakken (zonder de controle te verliezen) of zwaar (maar dynamisch) bombast à la Mastodon vinden. Hierdoor is hij veelzijdiger in zijn bruikbare sounds en beheersbaarder richting de extreme klanken dan veel andere fuzz pedalen.

Kortom: zeer veelzijdig, goede bouwkwaliteit en een behapbare prijs. Waar voor je geld!

PS. Wederom verrast door de perfecte service van Bax!
