Members Devi Ever Posted November 21, 2009 Members Share Posted November 21, 2009 pitch shifting-seeker-like pedal? with the second switch being an octave? Five knobs on the bottom could be volumes for oct -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stdtheband Posted November 21, 2009 Members Share Posted November 21, 2009 (2) delays... both with independent controls for time, repeat, mix, regeneration, chorusing, level. Selector switch for each. Then, independent filters that react in different ways. Basically, a delay monster with a short and long on tap at all times.

Members soulsonic Posted November 21, 2009 Members Share Posted November 21, 2009 My guess is Vex played around with a Flanger Hoax and got inspired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blackmappes Posted November 21, 2009 Members Share Posted November 21, 2009 Oh, and bump off McCartney 10 mins before he met Lennon. Don't worry, I'll keep the Beatles stuff intact. I'll just skip over Wings and the frog bloody chorus and go straight to rubbish painting and symphonies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NITEFLY182 Posted November 21, 2009 Members Share Posted November 21, 2009 Zvex is honestly going to build and sell a product that uses two small boxes attached at the sides to make a larger enclosure? He could probably have the same larger box made by the people that make the smaller for lower cost per enclosure and significantly reduced machining costs for the final product. Its not april 1 though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NITEFLY182 Posted November 21, 2009 Members Share Posted November 21, 2009 the two conjoined boxes obviously have something to do with the concept of the pedal. and the fact that the top box is upside down Pedal enclosures have slightly sloped sides. The top box is upside down so the resulting assembly will not have a pitched surface. If anything, Zack is building in two small enclosures because building in a small box is his thing and he doesn't want to build in a larger box, even if it makes more sense. Its entirely possible that there is a reason other than that to use two small boxes, and if there is, this must be some ridiculous new effect that couldn't work in a single large box. My breath is, of course, baited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 That "someone" was me in a different thread, but I can't find it because of the search function. Credit for the EQ idea definitely belongs to you. As I said in agreement, I could see how the controls could work for a four band parametric, but I'm not convinced that's what it is. For example, take the bottom row of LED's. If it was a level meter of some sort, you'd expect green / green / yellow / yellow / red. Here we're seeing R / Y / G / Y / R. That to me, is something similar to what you'd find on... a tuner. But I don't think it's a tuner. There are other things you can do with that sort of "center target" meter... and remember, they might not have any sort of association to each other; with each indicating something separate and independent. Then again, maybe they're just there for fans of das blinkenlights (like me ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im looking at a zvex enclosure right now and its 1/16th wider at the bottom than it is at the top. Im just surprised by the two enclosure thing because everything Zack does has very neat clean lines and is executed very professionally. IMO, this just doesn't click with that aesthetic.

Members Kid_A Posted November 21, 2009 Members Share Posted November 21, 2009 Cor blimey!!! I reckon the top row's are two of his seek pedals (wah/trem), but im confused as to what the bottom part is... maybe an EQ as mentioned? Or several SHOs? I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members V Posted November 21, 2009 Members Share Posted November 21, 2009 Ok, so it seems that the two foot switches probably activate those two rows of knobs independently from one another (since one is yellow and one is red). So, what sort of effect (which doesn't seem to be stereo, since we can only see one output jack) would have two independently activated sequenced channels? It almost has to be sequenced, imo, since there's not a good reason to have one LED per knob on top otherwise. Could it possibly be a sequenced fuzz of some kind? Sequenced voltage fuzz? But then there's the bottom half, with that strange array of LEDs... Hmm, maybe they are used for tuning something. There are six knobs on each row after all...

Members Jisatsu Posted November 21, 2009 Members Share Posted November 21, 2009 seek-delay. this but only because about 3 months ago I engaged mr. Vex in a dialog about what a seek delay should be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janimarj Posted November 21, 2009 Members Share Posted November 21, 2009 I think that it's not a fuzz, overdrive, wah or a tremolo since he said that it's unlike anything that he's ever done. I'm guessing that is either a EQ pedal of some kind and/or modulation effect. Delay/Flanger/EQ/Preamp??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mistersuperfly Posted November 21, 2009 Members Share Posted November 21, 2009 God I hope it's a seek-delay... and maybe the R/Y/G/Y/R is because it's stereo with a set of controls for each side and they're signal/clipping indicators for left and right? Seems like an awful waste of hype to make a stereo only pedal though, considering how few people run in stereo (I would be psyched out of my mind... but that's me).
