the zvex reverse fuzz factory engraved is a limited edition pedal featuring a pair of the ever elusive transistors zvex affectionately describes as spam cans. zvex has used many different nos germanium transistors in fuzz factories over the years - all to
great effect, but none quite like that first and only tiny batch of pnp spam can transistors zack found in a surplus store back in 1995. they have a sweet top end and a chewy texture like no other. this pedal uses a pair of nos spam cans they unearthed
recently; they are npn which is the opposite polarity of those zack found many years ago. zvex were able to use them by reversing the polarity on the other polarized parts (i.e., capacitors and diodes). what this means to you: the polarity is backwards from
the more common negative tip pedal polarity. they require a positive tip power supply or 9-volt battery. these reverse spam cans sound very close to the originals. it's challenging to find these semiconductors and they have to be hand tested one by one,
into an extremely specific gain range. these are special! each is hand wired and hand engraved and has clear knobs for a smooth, clean aesthetic - each one a unique piece of art in your collection!
