    Wow… I never noticed that before. You need to get outside and try some fresh air. How would you find that? Even if it’s right in front of you….lol.

    😆 you tell me.

    What pedals haven’t you tried FUZZ?

    I am afraid to say, the HOG and POG. I liked the Mocro Pog so much, I never tried the original. And also the Stereo Polyphase.

    This place allows you to grab a box and run it through some old Sovtek Tube Amps. Remember the Migs?

    The HOG and POG are wonderful. I love them.
    The stereo polyphase’s slow envelope mode is really cool. Someone asking me about it made me break it out.

    Hello to everyone from an italian EHX lover (so please forgive my english)!

    I’m seriously gasing for the tube zipper, and I like the sound from all the demo I’ve heard, but I still have a doubt.
    I owned an English Muff’n, that I used to like at low gain settings, but at least got to sold, because it was incredibly BRIGHT. I used to set the highs near to zero.

    My setup (Jazzmaster + Bassman ’59 ltd) is not so dark, ok, but I have tried several distortion pedals and none of those were so harsh. I also tried to swap the tubes with 12 ay7 without improvements.

    Thinking to its same tubes engine, is the Tube Zipper “distortion side” also so bright?

    [edit]: (?)

    it has been advertised as: “maze” once, though…

    a MAZE ing…

    and: yep, one of the first 5 production pedals did have printing on the side…
    (dunno `bout the current ones…)

    oh, yes, and it did come in a russian pinewood slidetopbox!

    Interesting! So you don’t remember any being screened ‘tube maze’ either? Plot thickens!

    When I was at EHX, my guide (forgot his name :() showed me a silk screen with “Tube Maze” I don’t think there was “Tube Zipper” on it, it was stored on a shelf under the name Tube Maze as well.

    When he noticed what it was he put it away and said something like “you’re probably not supposed to see this”, because he thought it could be something new (so I couldn’t take a picture), while he just wanted to show an example of one of those screens.

    Maybe the Zipper was called Tube Maze before it was called Zipper and still had “Tube Maze” as a subtitle after the name changed?

    Can one of the EHX employees here (Fuzz, Scott,…?) have a look at that silk screen? It was in the room with all the screens: shelves on the right, then on the right side of the bottom shelf.

    maybe just maybe

    tube maze = XO solid state tube zipper

    and that’s why you weren’t allowed to see it

    A solid state pedal be called a “Tube” Maze? I suppose the Hot “Tubes” was solid state before, so maybe it’s not such a stretch.

    No, the size, shape, knob and tube positions (no print) of the tube pedals matched with this print…

    I have a Tube Zipper that came in the wooden box that says Tube Maze on it, also has the screen on the side of the pedal. Is this different than other’s?

    Sorry I don’t have pics, but yes it looks just like that one. It is in the wood box(says Tube Maze on the screen on the box as well) and has a silkscreen on the side of the pedal also.
