Pablo Sanchez Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 we've just started to carry Z Vex effects at our store (Lauzon Music) Z Vex makes pedals with names like "Super Duper" "The Super Hard On" "Seek Wah" and "fuzz factory" I think there is a total of about 13 different effects and one 1/2 watt tube amp called the nano head (which is really really cool). There's usually not many places in Canada to find this stuff, so I thought I'd let y'all know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 So are you carrying the 'Super Pentatonic Wank' or the 'Super Duper Asleep At The Wheel'? Whatabout the 'Rub 'n Tug'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogieknight Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Yes i've seen these pedals before but have never had a chance to try any of them out. I just checked out the videos, some pretty interesting stuff. The seek pedals seem cool as do the octane and fuzz pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Sanchez Posted July 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Doyle Dykes is coming August 25th at 7pm admission is free zero- no but they're considering making the "super duper drunk" and the "double ego drive" and the "fan attack". They may want to consult with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Musicface Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Did anyone else check out Flash animation on that website?!? I want to know what the hell that crazy rocket dog has to do with guitar effects! I'm a little scared now.. - M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Musicface Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Oh wait, there's more - if you keep clicking on the Flash animation, it changes... I think Sparks the Lightning Cat is my fave so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Nice one Dave! Nice one Zero! What's with the various "probe" models on that site, I can't tell if that's a rocker or some kind of conductive plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 once I get some extra funds together I'll take "The Super Hard On" whatever the hell it sounds like just so I can stomp on it and grin ridiculously at whoever's around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonyak Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 its a conductive plate.. like a therimin.. only used to control the effect.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 So if I, as the director in lost translation says, want "more intensity" I would move my foot towards or away from the plate a la theremin? or is it an on/off switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 You know if I ever went even remotely straight edge you'd all lose your easy burns in the process. Glass houses, stones and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonyak Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 I have never used one personaly, but I knwo because I did some reading on them along time ago so I waould assume that that is how it would work.. I know they used to have a wah that worked that way... the closer your foot the more"open" the wah would be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Musicface Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Okay, so I watched some of the videos on their site and I think now I need the Tremolo Probe. How much do those go for Pablo? - M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Musicface Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Mmmm... could be a little steep at the moment but I'll certainly think about it. What would it cost to ship to Toronto, ballpark? Thanks! - M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 ARe these like the Rich-man's "Danelectro" pedals? They seem to have the same funky box designs. That looper has a cool feature... "4] Remembers your loop even when unplugged or with the battery removed, for up to 100 years." and this: "At the top right: the safety switch. This tiny switch lets you save a favorite loop so you won’t accidentally erase it, no matter what condition you might be in while stumbling over your pedal. Woo-hoo! Yee-haw!" I'd like to compare that pedal with the DL-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Sanchez Posted July 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Musicface - shipping to Toronto is about $10 next day delivery. Bouche - there would be no comparison with the DL-4. the loop junky is meant to sound like crap (but vibey you know?)and the dl-4 is crispy clean. I saw this about the loop junky How does it sound? Some people compare it to a warped, damaged 45-rpm record. Some say that the compression is immaculate, while some say it destroys any concept of the original dynamic. Some say that the noise is intolerable… some say it’s as precious as snow in the middle of nowhere. Some people have no taste. Lucky for me, taste is not the issue. I can promise one thing… your direct guitar will sound impeccable. I can’t promise that the loop will sound good… you’ll have to make some adjustments to your concept of “good” to be sure of that. I can promise that the loop will be different from any sampler you’ve heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Musicface Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Thanks man. Probably won't happen this month but I'll drop you a line if I can save my pennies. - M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
