Mastotron is a silicon fuzz with huge subs. Sounds huge on guitar. Works like a charm on bass... totally adjustable input impedance to add impedance for active basses and keyboards and recorded signals. I haven't tried line-level signals into it but I'm certain that trimmed signals will work. It has a very defined bumble-bee texture. The adjustments you can make will change the attack and decay characteristics (push/relax and pulse width) the harmonic content (pulse width), the treble (tone), and the subs (sub switch).

It's a new circuit using 2222-type transistors, which are an old hobby transistor from my childhood.
The distortron is a BOR without the boost and more tonal options apparently.

They will be $150 each

hes using 2n2222's and the cheapest triple pulls you can get? thats just stingy for that price ;< it'd only cost a few more dollars to go for some better components.

How many SHO's can we get in THIS box? . I love Zvex with all my heart - a true inventor of guitar FX.

Suweet! I'm a big fan of Z.vex and of Zack himself. A true signal processing genious IMHO.

I would like to see a pedal with Zack's crystal meth face silk screened on the front instead of those tacky paint jobs they're known for.

The Mastotron looks pretty stinking cool... Too bad I don't really have a good excuse to get another dirt pedal, especially a fuzz.
