Z-Vex finish and shiny stomp buttons

yeah, they do seem to have gone, hmm? 8^)

That was probably a wise move to protect your idea. There's such a hot market for iPod add ons ( iAddOn ?) that I would hate for some big company to come along and pilpher the idea from you.

Sign me up as one of your first customers. I cannot get the idea of it out of my head. Plus the missus, who would need to have her iPod surgically removed at this point, also loves the look of it too.

Well Z, you sure can pack those little 1590Bs full of stuff!

i'll see if i can get my dealers to carry them. they've been pretty receptive to the nano heads. thanks for your support! 8^)

I'm surprised IV (I-Vee) didn't pop up.
Guess theyre not running ER anymore, huh?
Sadly I missed the pics, but I'm very, very curious. Now for those lottery tickets....

It looks kind of like a Nano Head, but with two transformers on top and plexiglass front and back in place of the roll bars on the Nano Head. All packed into a 1590B, of course. :wink:

that's in a 1590B? Are you kidding me?

Paul Marossy · January 10, 2005, 07:23:28 PM

Yeah, Z is something of a miracle worker, huh? :lol:

technically, it's not a 1590B. it's made from a mold i have opened, and it's very slightly smaller than a 1590B, but almost the same size. 8^)

i suppose i should post a picture of me holding it so you could really get an idea of the size!

well, it`s partly on top, rather than in, isn`t it?

Respect!, Mr. Vex

:wink:

those coils look like OTs to me...

i like that. i-2B.

Sweet design Zachary!

Paul Marossy · January 11, 2005, 11:34:47 AM

Other than the obvious reasons, the one thing I really like about Z. Vex pedals is their small size. I hate big, bulky pedals. I'm sure other builders would have most of those circuits in a Hammond 1590BB or larger enclosure.

Oh baby is THAT cool !!!!

I'd take a non-working one just so I could glare at it. By the way. Congratulations to Zach. The new Guitar Player magazine with Nels Cline (Wilco) on the cover has a picture of Nels' pedal board (in the article not on the cover) and there is a ZVEX pedal on the board. Nothin' like free advertisement. The fact that they called Nels a genius probably won't hurt anything either.
