Mastotron - ZVEX Effects
Mar 8, 2024
The Mastotron by ZVEX Effects is an absolute sleeper of a fuzz pedal.
It’s sub-heavy silicon fuzz with a few extras. The PW (Pulse Width) knob changes the waveform of the distortion. RELAX/PUSH is an input impedance control that can convert your passive pickups to line-level and vice versa.
My favorite sound from the Mastotron is this super satisfying velcro fuzz. It cuts well through a mix, feel very full-bodied due to its sub-heavy nature, and has a very unique character.
ZVEX put the Mastotron circuit in a very unassuming and utilitarian enclosure, but don’t let that fool you. This is a very versatile and powerful fuzz pedal.
