The ZVex Fuzz Factory Full of Hell Signature Pedal is a limited edition version of the ZVEX Fuzz Factory, the classic five-knob fuzz pedal from ZVex. Announced in January 2022, it puts the standard Fuzz Factory circuit in a housing with custom artwork curated by Full of Hell, the Maryland death metal band, and was sold exclusively through the band's own website12.
What it is and how it differs from the standard Fuzz Factory
The circuit and controls are the same as the current standard production model from ZVex, so a player who knows the regular Fuzz Factory gets the same pedal underneath1. What sets this edition apart is the presentation. All 100 units come in a unique black and white finish, with art by Mark McCoy taken from Full of Hell's album "Garden of Burning Apparitions"1. Delicious Audio described it as "a custom illustration that screams 'metal,' curated by famed Maryland Death Metal group Full of Hell"2.

The pedal also includes an on/off LED and a center-negative DC power jack1.
Versions and editions
This is one of several limited and signature editions ZVex has built around the Fuzz Factory. Others in the family include the ZVex Fat Fuzz Factory, the ZVEX Fuzz Factory 7, the ZVex Abbey Road Fuzz Factory 7, and the ZVex Peaches N Cream signature model for Larkin Poe. The Full of Hell edition stands apart from these in how it was distributed: rather than going through dealers, it was sold exclusively via the band's website12.
