Thats why I want to get one, it used to be just because Matt had a Factory and the Probe was the cooler version, but I then started to find out a little bit more about it and it does look really cool. I'm a big fan of fuzz, and the FF/FPs seem to be one of the best around, and versatile. Plus you get the whole feedback crap to piss around with too.

You have to record some of that, that sounds quality. The most experimental thing I've done with my probe is put vocals through it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randombaz Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Greatest find ever that, I had to pay more for that colour though, but compared to the non-glittery colours, it was worth it we've discussed this, and no it wasnt! it wasnt signed by him and you paid like £30+ to get it glittery in the same colour for your sake i hope its a genuine zvex product, there's lots of copies out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shop I purchased it from (Sounds Great Music) is an official Zvex dealer. Basically Zvex forgot to sign it, I'm sure if it was a copy, they would have gone to a little more detail. I've seen non-glittery colours, they do look pretty shit in my opinion. Plus theres the added humour of a small glittery bright green box making such crazy noises, it was only £10 extra for a colour where there's only been 20 made in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haze015 Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 20 of that batch...... 20 in total, there was 4 in the batch my Probe was in. I've asked Zvex about it all already, you don't expect me to have a really expensive fuzz pedal and not know a thing or to about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the volume at about 9 o clock, gate at 10, comp at 7, drive at 2/3, stab at 5 (all o clock). In general, turning the stab up all the way cuts down on the screaming (turning the drive up further makes it worse often). Hope that helps:).

Guest because Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Any blackout settings? Stockpiling a load of settings for when i get my FF.... hehe soooooo excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dramatic Hammer Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Any blackout settings? Stockpiling a load of settings for when i get my FF.... hehe soooooo excited! same as above but lower the stab till you get the right note, then increase the comp till the note shuts off. at appropriate moment, roll back stab for that wonderful spluttery start to the feedback just before the solo in the live version:D.

In_Your_World Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Try this for a bit of weirdness... Gate - 1:30 Comp - 1:30 (increase both until stab cuts out - roughly 1:30ish) Drive - 5:00 Stab - 7:00 Play and hold a note at the 22nd or higher fret and u get a weird random arpeggiator type sound. Play a note at the 29th fret (press down string above middle pickup) for best effect. Play g-string behind the nut for a stuttering sound... enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix211 Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I cant decide between a fuzz probe of fuzz factory. hmm is it worth the extra £50+? I've gotta cort x6 as well, anybody had experience of this with the ff or fp? (just wanna know how the mitymite pickups hold out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotta cort x6 as well, anybody had experience of this with the ff or fp? (just wanna know how the mitymite pickups hold out) you're gonna have to try the pedal with your guitar and preferably your amp too. I know of no shops near me which stock the fuckers so I don't know how I can try one. I can always sell it if it's shit with my instruments, but I highly doubt that!

Guest because Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Am i right in saying the FF or FP doesn't oscillate as well with higher output pickups although this can be solved by backing off the volume a little?

randombaz Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 as a probe owner, i'd really advise thinking about getting the factory. although i havent used my pedals wackyness much, that might be a point for u.....all the pedal can really do is control the pitch of the feedback, which is musically crap and been done by matt. saying that tho, if ur really wanting those weird matt sounds then just getting the factory is kinda pointless because to change the constant feedback fq you need to bend dow and play around with the controls for me, the pedal on the probe is a gimick, otherwise matt would have it and so would john f from chilli's. use what you have and create cool sounds using that and a factory. like i said, overrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
