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!

  • 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).

  • Waveform: Sets the waveform of the Vibrato’s modulation. The traditional Lo-Fi Loop Junky simulation setting is triangle.

Chorus Pedals

Chorus pedals thicken your guitar sound by blending the dry signal with a slightly delayed and modulated copy. The result can range from a gentle shimmer to a wide, lush, 1980s-style modulation effect that makes clean tones feel bigger and more spacious.

They are often used on clean arpeggios, jangly rhythm parts, fretless-style bass tones and dreamy ambient passages. A chorus pedal is a great choice if you want movement, width and a more polished sound without completely changing the character of your playing.

Compressor Pedals

Compressor pedals even out the dynamics of your playing by reducing loud peaks and lifting quieter notes. This can add sustain, smooth out picking, tighten funk rhythm parts and make clean tones feel more controlled and studio-like.

They are useful for country, funk, pop, bass, slide guitar and any style where consistency matters. A compressor can be subtle and almost invisible, or it can become a noticeable part of your sound by adding snap, sustain and extra presence.

Chorus

Chorus pedals create the illusion of multiple guitars playing together by blending the dry signal with a subtly modulated duplicate. The result ranges from gentle shimmer and width through to lush swirling modulation associated with classic 1980s guitar tones.

Chorus remains popular for clean arpeggios, ambient textures, fretless-style bass sounds and atmospheric rhythm playing. Stereo chorus pedals can create especially wide and immersive sounds.

Compressor

Compressor pedals smooth out playing dynamics by reducing loud peaks and lifting quieter notes, helping create a more balanced and controlled guitar sound. Compression can add sustain, tighten rhythm playing and make clean tones feel more polished.

They are widely used in country, funk, pop and studio recording environments where consistency and articulation are important. Subtle compression can also improve the feel of an entire pedalboard.
