The ZVEX Fuzz Factory CMKIIFF26 is a limited variant of the ZVEX Fuzz Factory, the five-knob germanium fuzz from ZVEX Effects. This version pairs the Fuzz Factory circuit with Mark II transistors and a clear Lexan enclosure, described by the maker as bulletproof glass1. It is sold out as of 25 October 2026, listed by the maker at $399.00 USD1.
The Mark II transistors
What sets this run apart from the standard Fuzz Factory and the Vexter Fuzz Factory is the transistor set. The CMKIIFF26 uses vintage NOS "Mark II" transistors, the same type ZVEX says was used in late '90s Fuzz Factory pedals after the "Spam Cans" era but before the 2N4041. The maker calls the Mark II "a favorite transistor of many players"1.
Because the transistors are new old stock vintage parts, runs like this one appear only when the supply of those transistors allows, and this one is sold out1.
Where it sits in the Fuzz Factory family
The Fuzz Factory line has grown into a wide family of variants, including the Fat Fuzz Factory, the Fuzz Factory 7, the Silicon Fuzz Factory, the Russian Fuzz Factory 7 and the Reverse Fuzz Factory. The CMKIIFF26 belongs to the germanium side of that family, defined by its vintage Mark II transistor set and clear Lexan housing1.
