As a modern take on the iconic Tone Bender mk1.5, the VFZ-1 retains the highly sought after tonal and dynamic characters of a vintage germanium fuzz, while adding modern features for today’s guitarists. A BASS CUT and TONE CUT have been added to the signal so the VFZ-1 can be used to sound great on any amp or guitar. In addition, Vox added a CRUNCH switch that can produce the sound when the guitar's knob is slightly turned down. This allows you to create a brilliant crunch tone regardless of the guitar's volume.

The VFZ-1 also takes advantage of the modern components used in the circuitry. By using modern thin-film chip resistors, we have achieved even lower noise than with vintage carbon composite resistors. The world’s first distortion effect. In the 1950s, “distorted” guitar sounds were produced by equipment malfunctions or overdriven inputs, which later inspired the intentional creation of fuzz pedals. Used in countless iconic performances, fuzz became a central element of the British rock sound and, following the resurgence of alternative rock and grunge, has remained a staple pedal among players across a wide range of genres.
