ZVEX have a reputation for their niche and otherworldly guitar effects, used by experimental players to attain simply mind-blowing sounds! The Instant Lo-Fi Junky is no exception; a unique stompbox that squeezes and warps your guitar's signal with crackly compression and pulsating modulation.

This "Vertical" version of the Instant Lo-Fi Junky features the exact same circuitry as the original, albeit with a more conventional chassis that some players might find easier to mount on their pedalboards.

The Ultimate Tone-Twister

Engaging the ZVEX Instant Lo-Fi Junky will completely unhinge your original guitar tone. Constricting your signal with ultra-tight compression, you can blend this with the smashed, low-fidelity warbled effect for luscious sonic emulsification.

Achieve haunting chorus sounds that will send chills down your spine, or dizzying vibrato tones that'll you'll get lost in for hours. Unusual and addictively fun, the ZVEX Instant Lo-Fi Junky is truly in a class of its own!

Controls

  • Volume: Overall output volume for the unit.
  • Tone: Can be used to lower the brightness of the Lo-Fi signal (the vibrato sound). Does not affect the compressed signal.
  • Comp/Lo-Fi: Adjusts anywhere between full compression and full vibrato mix. Blending the two (somewhere between the extremes) creates a chorusing sound.
  • Speed: Adjusts the speed of the Vibrato (only affects the Lo-Fi sound).
  • Depth: Sets the depth of the Vibrato (only affects the Lo-Fi sound).
  • Waveform: Sets the waveform of the Vibrato’s modulation. The traditional Lo-Fi Loop Junky simulation setting is triangle.

Vibrato

Vibrato refers to a guitar pedal effect that modulates pitch slightly up and down, creating movement and a sense of wobble in the sound. Unlike tremolo, which changes volume, vibrato affects pitch only, producing anything from subtle shimmer to pronounced, warbling textures. It is often used to add character, depth, and vintage-style modulation to guitar tones.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
