    Does the LED on the vexter affect the tone?


    no, I would assume it's true bypass. If it effected the tone, Zvex would not put it in there, however the Zvex forum might be the place to ask, Zach could answer that himself better than I can.

    Another OHH. I just converted the pounds to dollars to see how much a Cheese Source, a Big Cheese and Brown Source combined is, and it comes out at over $525!!!!!!

    Or here is a Big Cheese on eBay with the starting bid at $350.

  • Although I don't know what sound you're referring to, I would recommend that you try out a visual sound Dr Jekyl/Mr. Hyde overdrive/distortion pedal. Quality pedal and very versatile. My other guitarist in my band has one and it sounds great. I've also wanted to try the Marshall Shredmaster, which was supposed to be a Marshall half-stack in a pedal. I don't personally know how good that one sounds though.

    Zvex FF is a pedal for messing with, not playing with. You will never duplicate any sound from it, unless you have a polariod camera and notepad and even then I can have problems duplicating noise.

    It sounds like you need a Lovepedal and the one I would recomend would be the BlackMagic Distorion, give Sean a shout and tell him I sent you. It is a wicked pedal for sure if you are into high gain.

    If you want Big Muff and who doesn't, don't buy an EH pedal. Get a Rams Head clone and get a Skreddy pedal they are just sick. Everyone should have an ernie and a zero.

    For crazy octave and fuzz stuff you should check out the CAF from BJF, the Octave Planet Pro from Lovepedal. One is based on the green ringer and Bj;s is just insane, it the only nasty pedal he makes.

    If you are into high gain again run and check out the blackmagic, it is all that and more.

    I'm actually pretty much looking for something that sounds fucked up and hard to duplicate currently, but thanks for the other recomendations.

    it's pretty much between the Fuzz Factory and the Mid Fi Glitch Computer right now. they are both around 150$

    The vexter FF will get you there for that price and if you want crazy I wouldn't look any further.
