ZVEX Instant Lo-Fi Junky

Step into the realm of the ZVEX Instant Lo-Fi Junky, a pedal crafted to replicate the iconic Lo-Fi Loop Junky sound in real time - a crackly, warped vinyl record on a turntable. Originally designed by Joel Korte, now of Chase Bliss Audio fame, this innovative device combines THAT chip compression, Belling bucket-brigades, and ultra low-current National Semiconductor op-amp filters. It faithfully captures the texture and feel of the original Lo-Fi while introducing unique, never-before-heard tones.

Achieving the classic Lo-Fi sound is effortless – turn the middle knob to the right and set the waveform switch to triangle. Adjust speed and depth for a texture akin to the original. Darken the tone by lowering the tone knob.

Explore a spectrum of sounds by turning the middle knob toward the "comp" side, revealing a bright, clear compression with enduring dynamics. Gradually shift back to the Lo-Fi side to blend in the chorus effect, creating a harmonious fusion of clear compression and lo-fi warbled signals. Unlike typical choruses, this unit offers precise control over the mix, allowing you to tailor your sound with clarity, pure chorusing, or a blend of vibrato and chorus.

Enhance your sonic palette with this versatile pedal, where traditional chorus tones shine through the subtly distinct sine or triangle settings. Unleash a world of possibilities with the Instant Lo-Fi Junky, a groundbreaking addition to your musical arsenal. You'll never want to turn it off!
