Wooly Mammoth Celebration




The Wooly Mammoth. After doing research on YouTube, I discovered Zvex Effects Pedals. Zvex Effects basically is Zachary Vex from Minn.MN. I purchased the pedal at Chicago Music Exchange on Lincoln Ave. in Chicago, Il. In general most music pedals are for electric guitars. This pedal is unlike most...it is THE WOOLY MAMMOTH! The pedal gives the "extra low wool fuzz" sound similar to the Beastie Boys-Sabotage intro. The pedal is a lot of fun. I find it very inspiring. The first knob can, after bass guitar adjustments to volume and tone, control "the effect settings volume" if you desire that set up. The "pinch" knob causes a "freaky radio sound similar to static effect ending" the note with sounds that are different. The overall use of the pedal effect knocks most lows into the sub basement of possibilities. It's been written that the pedal can be used on guitars-but I only experience it through my bass guitar. I recommend the fuzz and beautiful low Wooly Mammoth for bass because guitar guys are usually upfront and its about time for some extra wool on that low end theory.

I wonder if they make one of those wooly-booly gizmos for a button accordion?

Love the bill-posting stag who hearts Candy Minx!

Mr. A if you plug into the pedal before the amp it's possible you could use it...feven though you might be the type to shy away from it...these pedals are used on keyboards so maybe an accordian would be fine...

Gardenia, My reputation proceeds me

Bridget Jones, any reaction is better than no reaction, thank you!

Asterisk, the Staggman is guilty as charged protesting love!

Stagg,
Esteban Steve Jordan runs his Hohner Corona II through an Echoplex, so I guess it amounts to the same thing. It's not that I'd shy away from it...it's just that I want to master the sounds I can get without the devices first, and that's a way off.
