ZVEX Robot Fuzz
ZVEX drops a limited-edition Daniel Buettner LE Vertical Fuzz Factory: 25 hand-assembled germanium fuzz pedals with exclusive robot artwork by Minneapolis artist
ZVEX Effects has launched a limited-edition version of its flagship circuit: the Daniel Buettner LE Vertical Fuzz Factory. Priced at $299.00, this special release is strictly capped at just 25 hand-assembled units globally, making it an immediate target for boutique pedal collectors.
Germanium Fuzz Circuit
Under the hood, this vertical-format pedal retains the original design's chaotic, oscillating magic. It comes equipped with authentic germanium transistors, delivering the heavily textured, gated fuzz and self-oscillation that have made the Fuzz Factory a pedalboard staple for decades.
Custom Robot Artwork
The enclosure features exclusive UV-printed artwork by Minneapolis-based contemporary painter Daniel Buettner.
A member of the Rosalux Gallery, Buettner explores micro-momentary comedy and has previously designed album covers for artists like Motion City Soundtrack. For this exclusive batch, he provided vintage robot illustrations that mirror the pedal's mechanical, unpredictable sonic nature.
My inner child is obsessed with robots, and I love fuzz pedals, so this is a win-win for me!

Limited Run Robot
With production limited to a single batch of 25 units built entirely at ZVEX HQ, availability is extremely restricted for this unique visual take on a classic circuit.
I'm a huge fan of Zachary Vex's work, and this limited run also tickles my robot obsession in many ways!
If you haven't already, I highly recommend listening to the ZVex Podcast, I can listen to Zachary talk about his work for hours and how he built the business from humble beginnings.
